Obama Grassroots Group Holds DC Fundraiser

Obama Grassroots Group Holds DC Fundraiser

ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: There will be, as President Obama reminded us this week, “ample time for campaigns down the road.”

But for the Democratic National Committee and Organizing For America — the offshoot of the Obama campaign, and the main entity of what’s referred to as “Obama 2.0” — the campaign continues. At least the money side, that is.

Organizing For America — which is being run through the DNC — tonight is holding its first fundraiser since the president took office, at Lima Restaurant and Lounge in Washington.

It’s billed as a “grassroots” fundraiser, so a ticket costs only $44. To get access to the open bar and “special guests,” the price tag for a VIP ticket is $250.

Alas, those special guests don’t include the president himself. They are actress Laura Breckenridge, from “Gossip Girl”; Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo..; Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.; and Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y.
