Submit a question for President Obama by Text Message
Organizing for America (OFA), a project of the Democratic National Committee that carries on the work of the Obama presidential campaign, launched a text last night in connection with an upcoming event called 'A Conversation with the President.'
In line with the continuing push for transparency -- embodied Monday by the YouTube interview with the President featuring questions submitted by the public and voted up in Google Moderate -- this event, scheduled to happen Thursday at 5:45, features questions from the public.
The twist this time is that people can submit questions by text. Active subscribers to the Barack Obama SMS program -- which is at 62262 -- received this message explaining how to send the President a question:
Join us for a Conversation with the President on Thurs at 5:45pm EST live at BarackObama.com. To submit a question, reply ASK with your NAME, STATE & question.
OFA staff will continue to gather questions through some time Thursday before the event gets underway.
