OBAMA FOR AMERICA — 2012 cycle receipts

The 2012 overlay on presidential committee C00431445

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 2012. $738,503,770.41 is the receipt total on that intersection from cycle-details topCommittees. It is not the 2012 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 (C00494740) is type N. Adding that victory-fund cell to this type P cell would mix committees.

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 $738,503,770.41 funded federal awards.

Type P again, still not Obama Victory Fund 2012

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 2012 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $738,503,770.41 would break the join. C00431445 returns in 2012 with a receipt total close to its disbursement total. That tightness is an arithmetic observation on two packet columns, not a statement that every dollar was spent the same week it arrived.

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 2012 total.

2012 cycle context without mixing 2008

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2012 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2012/ lists many committees; OBAMA FOR AMERICA is one row in that ranking extract. $738,503,770.41 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2012 is a presidential cycle tag. The 2012 cycle hub still holds other top committees. This URL isolates one authorized committee.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $738,503,770.41 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2012 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

2012 receipts almost in step with 2012 disbursements

Receipts $738,503,770.41 and disbursements $737,507,855.44 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $738,503,770.41 and disbursements $737,507,855.44 sit within about one percent of each other. 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 and disbursements differ by a thin margin. Quote both columns rather than rounding them into one 'spent it all' headline.

Two Obama-titled committees, two IDs

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. The 2008 Obama for America packet is not a running balance that rolls into 2012.

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 2012, receipts $738,503,770.41, disbursements $737,507,855.44, source FEC.gov.
