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.

Note: Thus far humblegunner has been compiling the ping list. I am doing research and plan to write a summary for group consideration. Neither humblegunner nor myself are attempting to manage this effort. All ideas are welcome.

To move forward, we have to make some decisions. That's the purpose of this thread.

“All 57 states”, LOL. JimRob, you crack me up! ;-)

Okay, first things first. In order to set up a “Nonconnected” PAC, we must designate a Committee Treasurer whose name and address will be public information; We’ll need to select a bank to handle our account/ funds; We’ll need an address for the Committee; We must file with he FEC before we collect or spend $1000.

If we need attorneys to handle/file the federal paperwork, do you want to use FR’s regular attorneys or should we plan to find another firm? I know several FReepers who are attorneys. Maybe they’ll do it pro bono or at cost.

Everything needs a manager, or it becomes a headless horseman.

Do we have a mission statement yet?
(just something so everyone knows in general where we are headed and so won’t get their panties in a bunch)

[MamaB]

Me, too. Thanks,

[Prov3456]

Please add me to your ping list. I’ll participate as I’m able.

[steveab]

Sounds like a plan being created.

[Syncro]

Do we have a mission statement yet?

Here's a couple of short versions from the text in the body of the thread:

Form a Political Action Committe to organize an effort to defeat the RINOs in the upcoming 2012 and 2014 Congressional elections.

And

An anti-RINO PAC and get it going in all 57 states to support and elect True God and Country Conservatives™.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m in. Please add me to the PAC list. I’ve had it with this out of control “government”.

[steveab]

The loony left progressive have the Tides Foundation to help set action groups. You may want to check with conservative foundation for guidance.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I agree. I wanted Jim to designate someone to manage it. I also think we should break down tasks into assignments and create small groups each lead by a senior FReeper.

I willing to do whatever. I’m hesitant to jump up and start giving direction, because let’s be honest, I’m not the most popular FReeper, and also because long-time FReepers don’t want a snot-nose newbie managing anything.

So I’m just fascilitating discussion and tossing out ideas.

Good start, thanks very much.
I’ll check with you all tomorrow.

[goodnesswins]

I’m in....we would need legal advice....there are varying kinds of PACS....some 9-12 groups have caused problems for themselves by the way they set up their PACs....tread carefully....and be certain of the goal(s) the PAC is interested in before making that decision.
