Organizing For A¢¢e$$.
Via The Hill:
President Obama will speak Wednesday to the nonprofit organization that grew from his reelection campaign despite questions over the group’s fundraising practices, an official for Organizing for Action (OFA) confirmed Monday.
The president will address the advocacy group’s “founder’s summit,” a two-day event for donors and supporters at a Washington-area hotel.
According to The New York Times, donors will pay $50,000 to attend the event, and other speakers will include OFA Chairman and former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, as well as Jon Carson, the group’s executive director and former director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.
At the event, the president and OFA officials are hoping to rally supporters for efforts on the president’s gun control, immigration and budget initiatives.
