Pro-Obama-Care "Grassroots Advocates" -- Controlled by the DNC: "Advice for reporter Katharine Seelye: If pro-Obama 'grassroots advocates' are operating 'under the aegis of the Democratic National Committee,' they aren't really 'grassroots advocates.'

More from the paper's Obama-care blog 'Prescriptions.' Reporter Katharine Seelye posted 'Showing Support for Overhaul' on Wednesday morning, making the implausible claim that groups organized by the Democratic National Committee were somehow 'grassroots advocates.'
Democratic allies begin fanning out across the country on Wednesday in a final end-of-summer heave to demonstrate their support for a health care overhaul.
They hope to provide a bit of counterprogramming to the many skeptical and conservative voices that have slowed President Obama’s push to change the health care system. The effort will promote a government-run health insurance plan -- the so-called public option -- which appears to be on life-support.
Under the aegis of the Democratic National Committee, various labor unions and grassroots advocates plan more than 1,800 events, including petition drives, phone-a-thons and rallies over the next two weeks. At the same time, a bus touting “Health Insurance Reform Now” will visit 11 cities, from Phoenix to Raleigh, N.C."
