Why don't we start a PAC? MiddlePac..... |
|
This Pac would be a nonprofit group funded by paid subscribers. Let's say an initial $100 initiation fee.
It's function would be like other pacs, but it's focus would be on support for the middle and lower classes.
It would have an elected board of experts from different fields driving the process.
There would be grades assigned to congresspeople rating their contribution in votes and legislation. There would be publications going out regularly relating performance. There would be public and political outreach groups.
It would all be very public. Perhaps eventually having local chapters working on that level.
Let's face it folks, in our Democracy money talks.
Any ideas out there folks? I'm sure many of you are more savvy than I am.
Thanks,
Scuba

...we make public campaign financing the rallying cry of the Democratic party. The Republican Party can not/will not back this. How is that for "standing for something."
Screw the PACS.
