OFA …


This movement was founded on a simple but game-changing idea:

That grassroots, on-the-ground organizing is the most powerful force in politics.

Powerful enough to win a historic presidential election and bring the country together after eight years of division — powerful enough to achieve health reform 100 years in the making.

But we got here because millions of people committed to this idea in the years and months that came before these victories — and President Obama will be the first to tell you that our work is not done.

Right now, Organizing for America is reinvesting in key states and districts, rebuilding our grassroots infrastructure, and preparing for the fights ahead.

Over the next few days, we’ll be deciding where and exactly how much we can invest — and with your help, we can be in the strongest position possible.

Will you donate $25 or more today to support Organizing for America?

When the President was elected on November 4th, 2008, it felt like the world had changed almost overnight.

After eight years of out-of-touch policies that drove our economy into a ditch, we had elected a leader with a new vision for government, a mandate for reforming Washington, and a personal story possible only in America.

But the truth is that nothing happened overnight.

That victory — and every victory that followed — is a credit to the power of this grassroots movement.

From the very first days of the presidential campaign in 2007 through the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in December — the relationships you developed on the ground took root in unprecedented ways, and together, we made history.

We have to do it again.

President Obama has laid out an ambitious agenda for winning the future, calling on Congress to come together to make key investments in innovation, education, and infrastructure. To reform government, confront the deficit, and make sure the economy works for all Americans.

He can’t do it alone. The challenges we’ll face over the next months will call on each of us to remember why we are a part of this movement: because we believe in something bigger than politics. Because we now know what is possible when we invest not just in a campaign, but in one another.

Your support will help us make key decisions about where we can place staff and resources as we rebuild and plan the next phase of this movement.

Seattle got the job done


Organizing for America

Hours ago, we shattered our By the People Fund goal. We’ve received more than 3 million grassroots donations to fund our work this fall.

We hit the mark a month early, and now have an incredible opportunity to expand the ambitious Vote 2010 plan we built together earlier this year.

But tomorrow, September 30th, marks a critical deadline. We’ll close the books on the quarterly fundraising numbers we have to report to the FEC and the national media.

And Thursday, at midnight, we’ll be finalizing much of our Vote 2010 budget. We’ll have to make tough decisions about which races we’ll be able to play a role in. What you do between now and tomorrow night will determine the impact we have on tight races across the country.

Can you donate $5 today to help us go big?

Right now, supporters in Seattle and around the country are helping to change the story of the 2010 election: the millions of phone calls you make, the numbers of voters you’re talking to, the more than 25,000 supporters who rallied last night with the President in Wisconsin — larger than any rally in Wisconsin during the presidential campaign.

How we do in the final days of this quarter will determine if we can keep telling that story.

Chip in $5 before tomorrow’s deadline — and help show the momentum we’re building:
