I have done some community organizing

[Wetzelbill]

Specifically I worked with some community organizing groups like Acorn and PIRG, back in 2006 when I was the Students Are Voting Everywhere (SAVE) Director at the University of Arizona. My boss, the student body president, was a Republican. Both Republican and Democrats worked together and we registered thousands of student voters.

It was a good experience and I was proud to be part of it, we helped raise awareness and get people interested in voting and we did it in a nonpartisan manner. Imagine that, people of different political views working towards a common goal.

It wasn't much, but it's pretty elitist and condescending to make fun of good people from all walks of life and political beliefs who go out and actively work towards making communities, this country and the world a better place.

Only a sneering, out-of-touch, hateful cynic would belittle the contributions that community organizers bring to this country. Many of them volunteer their time and do it for nothing. It's thankless, but because people care, they go out and do it anyway. That's passion. That's love of country.

It's UnAmerican to make fun of it. Of course, you would expect that from a rat who exploited the worst attack on our nation's soil for political gain time and time again and also from somebody who belonged to a political party that wanted to secede from the United States.

1. It feels good to give back to your community

Most American believe in a sense of giving back. They like the feeling that you just described. It is sad that the GOP would make fun of Obama on this issue.
