The US Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has launched an SMS initiative to expand its grassroots network and organize volunteers for events. You can also get Obama themed wallpapers and ringtones. The rival campaign run by Sen. Hillary Clinton launched an SMS service last month.
"This campaign is about the people across the country who are taking organizing into their own hands and text messaging is a key tool that will help us reach out to people who rely on their mobile phone service for information," said Joe Rospars, new media director for the Obama campaign. "This is a service we hope to use to continue to communicate with our growing base of supporters who are excited about playing an active role in our efforts to change this country."
The campaign blog says that as millions of Americans relying on cell phones and are cutting the cords to their landlines - the service is essential for them to communicate with a growing number of Americans where they?re at."
