Our Country Deserves Better PAC (OCDB) is a political action committee (PAC) formed in August 2008 to oppose the election of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama. The organization, based in Sacramento, California, is one of the largest conservative PACs in the United States. Its current mission is to challenge President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress for their stance on raising taxes on the wealthy, health care, national defense, energy policy, immigration, and judicial appointments, as well as defeat the election of liberal Democratic candidates. In February 2010, Our Country Deserves Better was among the twelve most influential groups in the Tea Party movement, according to the National Journal.
According to its website, Our Country Deserves Better PAC is "leading the fight to champion the Reaganesque conservatism of lower taxes, smaller government, strong national defense, and respect for the strength of the family as the core of a strong America".
The organization stands for lowering taxes, opposing bailouts, a strong national defense, secure borders, sound energy policy, and judges who respect the constitution and is committed to defeating the candidates backed by liberal Democratic Senate and House leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, in the 2010 congressional elections.
In October 2008, leading up to the presidential election, Our Country Deserves Better PAC held a national bus tour called the "Stop Obama Tour." The tour held over 30 rally stops across the United States to campaign against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The organization's name, "Our Country Deserves Better," was their rallying cry.
