NPR: Obama Backers Return To Streets To Push Plans

President Obama's grass-roots political machine has been reactivated for a weekend door-knocking crusade designed to sell the administration's economic plan -- and its record-busting $3.6 trillion budget.

But the task for the Organizing for America volunteers -- tapped from Obama's prodigious campaign e-mail and donor lists -- is expected to be markedly more difficult than it was to sell the candidate before last November's election.

Volunteers don't have a candidate to sell, as they did before, and no Election Day end date on which to focus.

Do the mythical creature stamps include gods, demons, and angels? Just wondering.

No; Bigfoot and Nessie didn't make the cut either.
