Despite assurances to the contrary, the former website of Obama for America, now Organizing for Action (OFA), continues to be used to promote Democratic party causes and candidates. Two weeks ago, an event for the Terry McAuliffe campaign for governor in Virginia was listed for several days before being removed. Now, the regional field director of the Ed Markey for U.S. Senate (Massachusetts) is listed as the host of a phone bank event to “let people know that Ed Markey, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate will be in Pittsfield on Tuesday, February 19th.”

Several local Democratic party groups recently had listed “watch parties” on the website for President Obama’s State of the Union address.  Arguably these events could have simply been informational.  However, another event hosted by the Democratic Women of Wiregrass (Alabama) sounds decidedly more partisan in nature.  Participants are urged to “catch up on the latest plans and activities of the Democratic Party in Alabama.”
