OBAMA MEDIA - Gamechanger Salon is Bringing it On for You!

From GS’s inception, said the sources, “The object of this group was to protect Barack Obama at all costs, and [to] push progressive messaging around the country.” That messaging has included heavy doses of pro-labor union propaganda and radical environmentalism. In addition, GS seeks to influence national politics as well. Among the group’s favorite political figures is Democratic U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who reportedly enjoys the support of at least 60% of Gamechanger members.
The existence of GS was first uncovered by MediaTrackers.org in July 2013, via an open-records inquiry into the actions of University of Wisconsin professor Joel Rogers, who happened to be a member of the group.

The founder and moderator of GS is Billy Wimsatt, who worked for the Obama presidential campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party in 2008; contributed columns to the Huffington Post for a number of years until 2012; and currently serves as the chief ideas officer at Gamechanger Labs, an incubator for left-wing political and social action.

Other prominent names on GS’s membership list are 
Medea Benjamin and Katrina vanden Heuvel.
