FReeper PAC discussion thread
Free Republic ^ | 12/18/2010 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 12/19/2010 7:55:43 PM PST by BuckeyeTexan

Saturday night, December 18, 2010, Jim floated the idea of forming a political action committe to organize an effort to defeat the RINOs in the upcoming 2012 and 2014 Congressional elections.

"Yup, I do believe it’s time. We need to organize an anti-RINO PAC and get it going in all 57 states to support and elect True God and Country Conservatives™. We can do it!! FReeperPAC is born!"

Many FReepers expressed interest in helping with the PAC, posted research/resources, made relevant suggestions, offered advice, etc. It's time to move that effort to its own thread.

Please continue you contributons here. If you posted important information to the other thread, please consider re-posting it here. You will not automatically be added to the FReeper PAC ping list. You must request to be added if you want to receive pings to important updates.

Seems like the value of FR is in the awareness and news distribution. Not sure how much pull we could have in the big-mo arena.

So the fundraisers for FR.com have been, what? About $80k/quarter?

$250k/year? Roughly.

So if FR PAC could match the FR budget/take, let's say, that's 3-4 30 second prime TV commercial ad buys, neglecting cost of creating the ad. Drop-in-bucket.

If FR PAC raised 10x that amount, then it would still be less than half as much money as Christine O'Donnell spent for her single race.

Please add me to the ping list. I was recently laid off when my job was shipped to India. I was a medical transcriptionist for over 25 years but that profession is fast disappearing, so it's back to school for me now. However, I will still have a lot of free time, which I can contribute to the cause.

I was thinking the same thing. However, other PACs can donate to us. We don’t have to depend on FReeper donations.

Besides being a monthly donor to FR, I also donate directly to political candidates of my choice. If FReeper PAC was targeting my top five choices, I donate to FReeper PAC instead. I suspect others would do the same.

Thoughts?

But then that becomes a zero-sum game.

What FR adds to the national scene is it's unique news aggregation, but not for the moneyed elites with a "man in Washington." That's where PACs have leverage.

FR is Drudge Report but with comments.

If that base could be turned into an influential PAC money machine, then Freepathons would already only last minutes, not weeks.

humblegunner- will you please ping the group to this important discussion item?

Sam - I wasn’t here back in ‘98, but as I understand it, FR used to be far more than news aggregation with comments. What I’m hearing people say is that they want FR to get back into focused political action. Perhaps we don’t need a PAC to do that. I don’t know.

The group needs to discuss what it is we want from a PAC. What is our goal? We want to target RINOs. How are we going to do that? With money? By educating the public through targeted information about specific RINOs?
