Marathon Pundit: Obama's perpetual campaign preparing for socialized medicine push

The Barack Obama presidential campaign, which began during his 2004 Senate run, didn't end on Election Day last fall.

A misnamed "grass roots" campaign--how many grass roots efforts begin with a presidential video message?--will initiate the campaign's next campaign.

This one involves Obama's push for socialized medicine, as Obama campaign manager David Plouffe explains in an email message:

Remember this date: Saturday, June 6th, 2009. We will look back on that day as the moment when the fight for real health care reform began in your neighborhood -- perhaps even in your own living room.

On June 6th, in thousands of homes across the country, we'll gather to launch our grassroots campaign for health care. We'll watch a special message from the President. We'll build the teams and draw up the plans for winning health care reform the same way we won the election: Building support one block, one neighbor, one conversation at a time. And we'll put those plans into action.

These kickoffs are so crucial that President Obama will join confirmed hosts and attendees on a live conference call.
