Always innovative. Reminds me of the way that the Obama people campaigned at the Batman premier or at gas stations when the prices were so high. Go to the people.

Organizing for America, a group made up of former Obama campaign volunteers, will be setting up a booth downtown today to sign up volunteers and urge festival-goers to support a universal health care system.
In August or September, the group plans to send teams of doctors, other health care professionals, students and other volunteers into the Athens area to offer checkups to residents.
"They're going to make house calls to people who are either underinsured or don't have health insurance," said Michael Smith, Organizing for America's Athens volunteer coordinator.
