McConnell has spun up a separate Super PAC called THE PEACHTREE FUND for the express purpose of hiding its funders from the public.

THE PEACHTREE FUND has spent nearly $20 million in Georgia over the last week.

It's last filing, on 12/3, reported ZERO in contributions

THE PEACHTREE FUND is being run by McConnell's other Super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund. There is absolutely no purpose to it, other than to keep the funders secret for as long as possible.

Obscene, actually. There is that much disposable money from PACs for elections n no PACs for the hungry, unemployed, soon to be homeless.. I don’t begrudge anyone’s money..it’s their money..but.. it just is so damn lopsided that one goes down the television ads n hats n shirts while the other side is in dire straits. The candidates should tout their platforms and the voters should be informed so big money stays out of elections. O..wait..silly me.
