The J.P. chapter of Organizing for America was created to ensure that President Obama can continue forward with his reform agenda. Maintaining a Democratic majority in Congress is crucial to ensuring that Obama’s reform agenda can be implemented. That agenda includes changing the way Wall Street works, passing energy legislation that reduces our dependence on oil and develops new alternative sources of energy, fixing our broken education system, and ensuring that the recently passed health care reform is implemented in a fair and equitable fashion. Republicans on the right, tea party activists, conservative talk show hosts, corporate lobbyists and big money are all mobilizing to derail Obama’s agenda. We need to counteract these reactionary forces of change with our own people power. Between now and the mid-term elections, OFA will be concentrating on the following tasks:

• Contacting our neighbors who voted for Obama in the 2008 Presidential Elections and reminding them of the importance of voting in the 2010 mid-term elections.
• Registering new voters.
• Building our base in Jamaica Plain by getting others to join OFA.
• Getting out the vote as Election Day nears by canvassing our neighbors, phone banking, and reaching out to voters at selected events
