The watchdog group Common Cause is calling on President Obama to shut
down the outside group Organizing for Action after revelations the group
is promising high-end donors access to the White House. According to
the New York Times, donors who contribute $500,000 or more will be
appointed to the group’s national advisory board, which meets four times
a year with the President. Organizing for Action was set up by former
Obama campaign officials in order to push the president’s agenda. The
group’s 501(c)(4) tax status means it can accept unlimited donations
from corporations and individuals without revealing their identity. We
speak to Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause. Video
