Organizing for America (OFA) is a grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee. OFA's network of volunteers and staff is actively working in all 50 states to promote the President's agenda for improving the country. Since 2009, OFA supporters have played a key role in helping strengthen America's middle class by creating jobs, passing health insurance reform, building a clean energy economy, improving education, and reining in the excesses of Wall Street.

OFA- Statement of OFA-NH Director Tim Arsenault Urging Congress to Pass Unemployment Insurance Benefits Extension

CONCROD – With federal funding for extended unemployment insurance benefits running out earlier this week, 800,000 Americans have already lost their benefits and nearly two million Americans are expected to lose them by the end of December. In response, Organizing for America-New Hampshire State Director Tim Arsenault released the following statement urging Members of Congress to pass an extension:

“Although the economy is on the road to recovery, the job market remains extremely tough for millions of Americans. For many of these individuals – who lost their job through no fault of their own –  unemployment insurance provides a lifeline during tough times. During the Bush Administration, Members of Congress put partisanship aside to extend these vital benefits for those Americans most in need. Unfortunately, since President Obama took office Republicans in the House and Senate have opposed, obstructed or delayed the extension of unemployment benefits and are doing so again. 

“OFA volunteers across New Hampshire are urgently calling on Members of Congress to stop playing political games and immediately extend this important lifeline to millions of Americans who depend on them.” 

DNC - Chair Kaine to Participate in President Obama's Webcast Town Hall

TUESDAY: DNC CHAIRMAN KAINE TO PARTICIPATE IN PRESIDENT OBAMA’S WEBCAST TOWN HALL FROM HOUSE PARTY IN MANCHESTER, NH

*** You can watch the Town Hall live at www.BarackObama.com/live ***

Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, October 12th, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine will give remarks at a Moving America Forward house party in Manchester, NH as part of President Obama’s webcast Town Hall. Kaine's remarks from Manchester will be streamed online at hundreds of house parties being held across the country as OFA  supporters gather to watch President Obama’s webcast Town Hall from George Washington University. Supporters will use the President’s Town Hall as a way to talk to their friends, families, and neighbors about the stakes this election season and get them engaged for the midterm election.

With less than a month to the Election Day, the President will use the Town Hall to answer questions from voters and lay out the choice the country faces this November: whether to support Democratic leaders and continue to make progress for American families and small businesses—or to return to the failed, Bush-era policies that nearly drove the nation into a second Great Depression.

Since taking office, President Obama has made major strides in pulling the economy from the brink of a depression, reforming the health insurance industry to give power back to consumers, and reforming Wall Street practices so that Americans are never again left footing the bill for the mistakes of bankers. The President is rallying support for Democratic allies who will continue to support his agenda to strengthen the middle class, combat global climate change, and improve the American education system so that our children can compete in a global economy.

The webcast Town Hall event will be the third in a series of “Moving America Forward” events the President is doing prior to the election.  He has previously held rallies in Madison, WI, Philadelphia, PA and will go to Columbus, OH and Las Vegas, NV in the coming weeks.
