Talk:Organizing for America

Relationship with DNC
It is clear that Organizing for America is run by the DNC. At the bottom their web page it says, "A project of the Democratic National Committee". How is that not factual?--Davidwiz (talk) 01:01, 27 March 2009 (UTC) Organizing for America is indeed a component of the DNC. This was done to differentiate it from Obama for America, the actual Barack Obama campaign. You can easily find pictures of then presidental hopeful Barack Obama riding in a model T ford in St Paul square near downtown San Antonio. This was done with the help of Rep Charles Gonzales and the Texas Democrats. When the campaign leaders wanted to do another such photo shoot the Organizing for America group from Austin tried to get involved by saying that they had set this up it was pointed out that they did not even exist at that time. The DNC proper had an argument with Texas OfA that to this day has not been resolved. But it is very clear by this that Organizing for America is indeed an independent group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowthief (talk • contribs) 03:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Funding is not addressed specifically anywhere here. Does DNC also fund it, or does it get outside funding? 138.162.128.53 (talk) 17:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Number of things
Since at least 2006 the domain barackobama.com has been owned by "Obama 2010" according to web.archive.org which is an internationally recognized web archive. Unless web.archive.org was hacked there would of been no method for someone back in 2006 to put in there Obama 2010 if in fact the domain wasn't going to be used for Obama 2010. If the article is going to reference the domain it's not a post-presidency site/organization. Prior to 2006 the domain was also owned by Obama and/or his people used as a senate website.

How can the number of email subscribers be sourced? It's been said the this group was formed to get Obama elected and after his election the interest in it has diminished. Woods01 (talk) 11:51, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Merge the article with Organizing for Action
since they are the same thing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.90.111 (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2013 (UTC)


 * "After Obama's second inauguration, it was reorganized as Organizing for Action and returned to its previous mission of organizing around the President's agenda." Yep, they appear to be the same thing. ~ MD Otley (talk) 01:21, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
