Barack Obama is building a standing volunteer army to continue the advocacy work of his massive Presidential campaign machine.
"Organizing for America," the new grassroots organization officially run by the Democratic National Committee, has launched a new campaign today that asks Obama supporters to pledge online that they will keep working on behalf of their leader.
Mitch Stewart, Director of "Organizing for America" says of the new "Pledge Project" in the video featured above:
