“uuuhh, trick question right? All those organizations including the MCDC are all non-profits and they cannot directly support or endorse candidates, as far as I know.”
No, not a trick question at all. I think many would like to know which of these leaders and groups intend on supporting your candidacy. Many of these groups have PACS, like your MCDC, and have endorsed candidates as have their leaders and members.
For example: Simcox: “Both the MCDC PAC and Minuteman PAC ran ads in 2006 for some of over a dozen FEDERAL candidates for whose campaigns we either first endorsed, or gave direct money. We were fortunate to be able to raise and spend these additional funds to run independent expenditure ad campaigns in favor of some of our embattled “good guys” and to go after some bad candidate’s voting record or stance on our issues.”

Talking sense to Simcox is like tilting with windmills. This is my first post to FR and I’m trying to get the gist of this thread. But whatever the discussion, it must be pointed out that Simcox is NOT running for any office. Simcox declared his candidacy simply to garner checks to his campaign much like the ploy of building a bogus fence and having donors pad his bank account. Simcox cannot be found to be seriously campaigning anywhere except hitting lonely hearts’ clubs full of gullible seniors who give him their money. He is not accountable for a dime, and when he predictably drops out of the race, he takes the bucks with him. Same tactic perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes has used to build an untouchable war chest. My advice is to steer clear of Simcox.
