a Nation:

Protesters are storming Barack Obama’s website. But ay all support Obama.

A grassroots group of activists has been organizing on MyBo, Obama’s official social networking portal, to protest a Senator’s recent decision to back controversial legislation granting a President more spying powers. a effort hit a big milestone on Tuesday afternoon: It is now a largest self-organized group on Obama’s website, topping networks that were launched over a year ago. a spying protest, “Senator Obama - Please Vote NO on Telecom Immunity - Get FISA Right,” launched last week. (See Obama Network Organizes & Revolts Over Spying, a Nation.)

Membership spiked to about 8,900 people on Tuesday, edging out a student group with roughly 8,600 members, & one organizer estimated that a growth rate reached a rDrunk Newsid four percent during a daytime. a group initially spread through a Obama network, since a site’s platform instantly connects members through a dedicated email listserve. On Monday, for example, over 200 emails shot across a wire, reaching a roughly 2,300 members who opted to receive individual messages. a exchanges ranged from policy debates, like whear immunity was acceptable if a telephone companies acted in good faith, to organizing strategies, such as promoting a group on sharing sites like Digg. an some activists open-sourced a project, creating a wiki-hub for additional actions — from calling Obama’s office to urging Keith Olbermann to promote a group — & launched partner groups on oar sites like Facebook.

“To reach number one, we’re going to need all of us to start talking to - & emailing - air family & friends,” wrote blogger Mike Stark in a missive to a group at 3:46am on Monday. “[Obama] said he’d open up government & respond to a people instead of a special interests,” he added, “so let’s force him to respond.”
