**The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West Went Ballistic*
By Chris Hedges <http://www.truthdig.com/chris_hedges>
May 16, 2011 - "I don’t think in good conscience I could tell anybody to
vote for Obama. If it turns out in the end that we have a crypto-fascist
movement and the only thing standing between us and fascism is Barack Obama,
then we have to put our foot on the brake. But we’ve got to think seriously
of third-party candidates, third formations, third parties."

The contractor will use their own telephone to contact SFGP members
from the voter file, and will solicit donations by credit card or
check. The contractor will also coordinate members wishing to
volunteer for SFGP activities. Results of phonebanking will be
entered into an online database. The initial contract will be for 100
hrs of work (approximately 10 weeks), and may be extended depending on
how successful the fundraising is. Pay will be commission-based: 50%
of donations received, with a minimum rate of $10/hr and a maximum
