I got my Obama job application form in the (e)mail today. And I wanted to encourage everyone else to get theirs by filling out this simple form. (In a few days they'll email you a longer form, with spaces for more jobs and a choice of which agencies you're interested in, but that's also pretty easy.)
During the Bush2 administration, conservatives raised at the right-wing think tanks around DC moved in to staff the agencies, filling them with an ideological crew that tried to push their agenda at every level. As conservative organizations told their members, you can do more than just pressuring the government from outside, you can start pushing the government from inside as well.
Obviously having people outside the government pushing back is crucial, but it would also be nice to see those right-wing hacks replaced with a talented lefty team. So consider filling out an Obama application. Although do be warned -- as the site says, "some positions will require Senate confirmation."
