Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe and volunteers in helping to pick the 30-second commercial that will air nationally, a DNC official tells CNN.</p><p>The contest is being run by Obama&#8217;s political arm – Organizing for America – which is housed at DNC headquarters in Washington, DC. It is the latest effort by the president&#8217;s political team to try and enlist the grassroots to help pressure Congress to pass health care reform this year.</p></blockquote><p>I’ve been vehemently opposed to a government takeover of health care from the beginning. However, since Will.I.Am, John Cho, Rosario Dawson, Dule Hill, Seth MacFarlane, Brandon Routh, Kate Walsh, and Olivia Wilde are in favor of it &#8212; I may have to rethink my position.</p><p>Nope, after thinking about it again &#8212; I’m still against it. In fact, since all those Hollywood assholes do support it, that’s all the more reason for me not to.</p><p>(hat tip <a href="http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2009/10/desperate-obama-signs-up-hollywood.html" target="_blank">JammieWearingFool</a>)</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/10/07/obama-asking-celebrities-for-help-promoting-obamacare/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
