Obama asks Organizing for Action to help him pass his policy agenda

The Washington Post reports:
President Obama on Wednesday night pleaded with some of his most enthusiastic campaign backers to mobilize support for his domestic policy agenda, telling them, “I actually want to govern.” The entreaty came in Obama’s first address to Organizing for Action, the nonprofit group formed from his reelection campaign, as it kicked off a two-day summit to chart its future. The president said the group will work not to elect political candidates but instead to help pass his policy priorities.
