Organizing for America was a community organizing project of the Democratic National Committee.〔"A project of the Democratic National Committee" http://www.barackobama.com/index.php〕〔"DNC Announces Key Staff for Organizing for America" January 23, 2009 DNC press release http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/dnc-announces-key-staff-organizing/story.aspx?guid=〕 Initially founded after the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, the group sought to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities, particularly health care reform. Eventually, the organization played a role in the midterm elections of 2010. Later, it became the grassroots arm of Obama for America. 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. ==History== The formation of Organizing for America was announced by then-President-Elect Obama on January 17, 2009. The group officially began operations on the third day of the Obama administration, January 23, 2009. On the same day, it was announced that Mitch Stewart would serve as the first Director. Jeremy Bird, a former Obama for America field operative, was named Deputy Director. In mid January 2013 the organization was transformed into a nonprofit group Organizing for Action. The president's 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina, was announced as the group's national chairman, and White House official Jon Carson will leave the administration and become the executive director. Campaign senior adviser David Axelrod will serve as a consultant. The organization will accept donations from individuals and corporations but not from lobbyists and political action committees. Offices will be in Washington and Chicago. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Organizing for America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
