Draft Obama is an all-volunteer organization started in early 2006 by a group of people who were impressed with Barack Obama's landslide victory in the 2004 Illinois Senate Race, and his first 2 years as a United States Senator. Draft Obama is not affilliated with Barack Obama, Obama 2010, Inc., nor any other organization or group. (We are happy that there are some other Obama groups online, though!)

DraftObama.org officially launched in its current form Wednesday November 29, 2006. The site and Draft Obama movement was created by Ben Stanfield earlier in the fall of 2006. With the help of volunteers, who signed up via the original incarnation of the site -- a single webpage -- the site has grown to encompass a petition, blog, forums, and the grassroots participation you see today.

The DraftObama.org website is powered by Drupal with extensions from the fine people at CivicSpace and CiviCRM LLC. The earliest version of the site launched on October 1, 2006. A major update launched November 16, 2006 with a new design by Andrew Holden of Holden Creative. And working with political web design gurus at Webolutionary, the site was updated for the official launch, November 29, 2006.
