Beginning on Obama’s birthday, August 4, OFA will spend the month promoting the administration’s top issues ahead of the 2014 midterm elections: the benefits of enrolling early in Obamacare (August 4), immigration reform (August 5), climate change (August 13), gun control (August 21), and immigration reform again (August 31). “I’ve always said that running for office is not just about getting elected. I believe in winning. Winning’s good. But you run for office and you win so that you can actually get things done. All right? It’s the beginning, and not the end of a process,” Obama said in his recent speech at the OFA summit in Washington, D.C., a video of which was sent to supporters Sunday to rally support for “Action August.” “I’ve got a little over twelve hundreds days left in office. I am going to spend every waking minute of every one of those days thinking about, and then acting upon, any good ideas out there that are going to help ordinary Americans succeed,” Obama said in the speech, again noting how many days he has left in office. “Thank you very much, OFA. I love you guys. Are you still fired up?,” he added, echoing a 2012 campaign rally mantra. </blockquote>
