Organizing for Action’s core purpose has been to build a more accessible and participatory democracy. As we take a look back at the past six years, we couldn’t be prouder of this movement’s contributions to that fight. Nor could we be more excited to enter this new chapter together to further that goal — but more on that in a bit.

As we celebrate everything we’ve already accomplished together, I want to emphasize that none of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers, who have constantly inspired us with their tireless commitment to — as President Obama put it — “the joyous task we’ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

When Organizing for Action launched in 2013, it was a grand experiment. We set out to harness the power of the grassroots movement that had twice elected Barack Obama as president, and convert it into a nationwide organizing, training, and issue advocacy group that would continue fighting for the core values that brought it together in the first place.

OFA’s decision to make a massive investment in long-term, multi-issue, community organizing was both an obvious choice and a significant gamble. On the one hand, there was no way we were going to let this family — this network of impassioned and engaged citizens dedicated to making positive change — wither away when there was so much work left to do. On the other hand, there was no true precedent or blueprint for success when it came to the nature and scope of our endeavor.

Fast forward six years and this model no longer seems overly risky or audacious — after all, grassroots activism has been resurgent in the past two years, and volunteer-driven groups like Indivisible and Swing Left have quickly become

Illegitimate Obama MUST be exposed even if it takes down both parties.

This OFA is part of the Communist takeover of the USA run by the Chicago based CPUSA. They have placed their people in the highest positions of power over the last 100 years culminating in our first Communist President and his cadre composed of Bill Ayers, Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle Robinson Obama, Rahm Emmanuel. A group born and bred by Communists and educated in the tactics of Revolution. We are now in their final stage of promoting Civil War by pitting two well-armed groups against each other, armed citizens and Antifa. This is how Weimar collapsed and voted itself into slavery. We are one breath away historically from the end of the Republic.

How long we can linger before collapse is in Trump's hands. If he can get free of the doves who surround him and somehow find a way to get elected and legally place the Communists in prison, we may have a chance. There are so many landmines around him, it is impossible to know how this will end.
