Wellstone Action!

Last week, following Sarah Palin's announcement that she was resigning as Governor of Alaska, we jokingly asked whether she was resigning to become a community organizer and started a petition in support of community organizers everywhere.

Read what YOU had to say when asked why you support community organizers, and come sign our petition!

WASILLA, AK--Sarah Palin announced today that she will be taking on a new, higher calling: community organizing... Well, we all know that's not really the case, but it sure does sound like Sarah Palin's had a change of heart doesn't it?

Obama has helped to usher in a new era in politics with a new mandate for change.  But he also brings with him into office a new American ethos for citizenship and service.  That spirit reminds me, perhaps unsurprisingly, of the work of community organizers.
