I have a special message -- and a personal request -- for every Grassfire team member. But first, let me explain why I'm writing. --Steve

Patriot,
What Barack Obama did on January 18 marked a fundamental shift in American politics.
And if we don't respond, it could mark the beginning of another decade or more of Obama-dominated political leadership.
What Obama did on January 18 has the potential to extend his influence far beyond 2016. And it marks the day that the Obama agenda came full circle.
Patriot,
What Barack Obama did on January 18 marked a fundamental shift in American politics.
And if we don't respond, it could mark the beginning of another decade or more of Obama-dominated political leadership.
What Obama did on January 18 has the potential to extend his influence far beyond 2016. And it marks the day that the Obama agenda came full circle.
For Obama, this never really was about the White House. He always had a much bigger vision -- a vision of using his community organizing skills to restructure even our how political debates take place. It's happening right now, but on January 18, a major shift took place.
+ + From "America" To "Action"
Just a few days before the inauguration, "Team Obama" strategically moved all the resources of his massive election campaign to a new organization -- an organization designed to take Obama's influence far beyond his second term; restructure the political debate; and make Obama the most powerful political kingmaker perhaps in our history.
The New York Times recently reported that this new organization is on the fast track to raise $50 million, with the goal of mobilizing Obama's campaign resources "in support of Mr. Obama’s second-term policy priorities." (See link to the article at the end of this email.)
Even the name of the organization Obama created is significant: Organizing For Action.
In that name, we see the essence of Obama -- who at his very core is first and foremost a community organizer. This is his real heart and soul. With this new launch, he left behind his old organization called "Organizing For America," and herein we again see the real Obama.
You see, words matter. Barack is not so much about "America" as he is about "Action." So this word change is very significant. The current president of the United States is no longer even pretending to be about "America," and thus he drops America from his structure's name. This is about action. Community organizer-led action.
+ + The First "Movement" Presidency
Four years ago, I specifically predicted in Grassfire's "Obama Nation" resource that Barack Obama would be the first "Movement President" in our history -- the first president to sit in the Oval Office and theoretically serve all Americans, while simultaneously running a massive, highly partisan grassroots movement that only represents the far Left.
To my knowledge, Obama's is the first Movement Presidency -- the first head of state to also run the largest partisan grassroots organization at the same time. Even The New York Times has said Organizing For Action had "no real precedent in national politics."
+ + What Obama Did After He Spoke To The Nation
The "two Obamas" were evident on the night of the State of the Union Address on February 12. Immediately after speaking to the entire country, President Obama then connected with hundreds of local "Organizing For Action" community events.
This Obama was personal ... he was the activist Obama ... the organizer Obama ... speaking only to HIS troops, not the nation ... speaking on behalf of HIS partisan agenda, not the nation's.
Patriot, never before have we encountered a Community-Organizer President who has the power of the White House and the financial and structural resources to mount the largest grassroots campaign on behalf of his agenda during his presidency!
Of all the radical things President Obama has done, this is perhaps the most radical because it marks a fundamental shift in the presidency and possibly of American politics for the next decade and beyond.
If Obama succeeds, he will move from the Oval Office to the Catbird's Seat in 2016 -- and the Obama "Movement" will continue unabated.
+ + Obama Changed, So We Had To Adjust
In the aftermath of the devastating election results and the Left's ability to literally control the major debates facing our nation, Grassfire came into this new year knowing we had to adjust and expand.
Our entire team has also been continually guided and motivated by the "2,500-year-old letter to exiles" that implores us to build and to plant even during tough times.
As a result, Grassfire is growing and expanding to build a conservative New Media and grassroots infrastructure that can expose and counter what is happening through Obama's Movement Presidency. Consider this:
--CUTTING-EDGE VIDEOS We just finished equipping a new video production studio and added an executive producer who is quickly transforming Grassfire into one of the leading providers of conservative video content. (The links throughout this message will take you to one of our daily news video briefings. I think you'll agree that these LibertyNEWS TV reports are among the best in the conservative movement.)
--REPORTING TRUTH Our LibertyNEWS site is growing rapidly and now is home to dozens of original news stories every week. We now have some of the best minds in the conservative movement featured on LibertyNEWS.com, including Mona Charen, Michelle Malkin, Walter Williams, Brent Bozell and John Stossel. Our goal is not to simply report the news, but to report TRUTH and expose the lies of statism and dependency.
--DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS Your constitutional rights are under direct assault, starting with your right to bear arms. We know the next 60-90 days are crucial, so that's why we're helping citizens get their voice heard on this and other crucial issues.
--POWERFUL DOCUMENTARIES Just last week, we launched plans to produce our first-ever, full-length documentary. We even secured one of the most prominent voices in the conservative movement to serve as our host. In the coming weeks, I'll share more on this exciting development.

+ + My Personal Request
As you can see, we face a very serious threat -- a permanent "Movement" presidency that could re-shape our nation for the next decade or more.
Grassfire is building a New Media and grassroots team to expose this agenda and bring the truth to our nation.
But I need your help.
We have already significantly expanded our staff and production costs. I need to know that Grassfire team members are standing with us for the rest of this year.
I'm asking every friend of Grassfire to join our 2013 Membership Drive today with a contribution of ANY AMOUNT to Grassfire.
