Obama 2.0 announces Florida director
by Michael C. Bender | May 20th, 2009
Ashley Walker, one of President Obama’s initial organizers in Florida, will rejoin the team as state director of Organizing for America, the group announced Tuesday night.
Organizing for America is the post-election repackaging of Obama for America, the grassroots machine that launched Obama into the White House. If you gave any money to the campaign, volunteered in any capacity or patronized the online campaign store, you’ve probably received an e-mail or two about this development.

Walker said in an e-mail that the tour will be used to introduce new state staff members and collect ideas to write the group’s Florida-specific plan. (Our suggested tongue-in-cheek title for the plan: 100 Really Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future)
From Walker:
“The campaign brought an unprecedented number of new voices into the process — we need to make sure those voices remain at the center of the debate as the President and Congress work on providing solutions for our economy”.
