OBAMA FOR AMERICA — 2008 cycle receipts

Obama for America locked to the 2008 cycle

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is OBAMA FOR AMERICA (C00431445), stored as a presidential candidate committee (FEC type P). The other is election cycle 2008. $778,642,962.27 is the receipt total on that intersection from cycle-details topCommittees. It is not the 2008 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not OBAMA FOR AMERICA's receipts in any other even-year window. Obama Victory Fund 2012 is a later committee with a different ID. The 2012 Obama for America cell is a different cycle on this same ID.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Source: FEC.gov committee receipts by election cycle. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $778,642,962.27 funded federal awards.

Presidential committee C00431445, type P

Committee C00431445 files as OBAMA FOR AMERICA. Type P is a presidential candidate committee (FEC type P). The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. The committee hub at /committees/C00431445/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2008 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $778,642,962.27 would break the join. C00431445 is the authorized presidential committee name stored as OBAMA FOR AMERICA. 2008 is the first even-year window in this slice for that ID. A later 2012 packet for the same committee is a separate join.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00431445 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2008 total.

2008 is the cycle tag, not a 2012 rerun

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2008 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2008/ lists many committees; OBAMA FOR AMERICA is one row in that ranking extract. $778,642,962.27 belongs only to this committee in that window. The 2008 election-cycle hub still lists other top committees from that year. Obama for America’s 2008 receipts are one committee’s column, not the 2008 presidential-system total.

2008 receipts beside 2008 disbursements

Receipts $778,642,962.27 and disbursements $760,370,195.37 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $18,272,766.90 in this extract. Neither figure is an independent-expenditure-only total unless the packet’s Super PAC flag says so. This extract does not split operating expenditures, transfers, refunds, or cash-on-hand. Receipts sit slightly above disbursements. Near-match columns still are not a net-cash statement and not an independent-expenditure book.

Mean dollars per donor cannot be computed: the packet has no contribution count and no unique-donor count. Unitemized receipts, if any, are not separated here. Quote $778,642,962.27 and $760,370,195.37 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov.

Limits of a candidate-committee × cycle page

This join does not name donors, unique contributors, or employers. It does not convert campaign receipts into USAspending obligations. FEC reports and federal award tables are different datasets even when a famous name overlaps. Do not invent bundled donors or joint-fundraising partners. The packet supplies committee totals only.

Independent expenditures by other committees that mention the same public figure are other tables. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here. Keep the citation to OBAMA FOR AMERICA, C00431445, cycle 2008, receipts $778,642,962.27, disbursements $760,370,195.37, source FEC.gov.
