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.

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)

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

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.

Add me to the list.

While you’re doing that, add this thought to the mental mulch:

Much time has been spent in the drive-by media and on talk radio as well (e.g. Rush) trying to analyze just who it is that comprises the “Independent” voters, who ultimately decide most elections.

Popular wisdom has it that those folks are “moderates” and that those candidates who have the most “moderate” views (read that as “unprincipled’) will appeal to this bloc.

My opinion is that nothing could be further from the truth. I believe that the great majority of Americans - especially those inclined to vote - are principled people. They take a stand in the way they live their lives and respond to candidates who will do the same.

Sometimes their reasons are thoughtful, even esoteric. But whether they get their opinions from careful reading of history and political philosophy, or just from the gut-felt sense of right and wrong that comes from their Christian and American upbringing, they naturally gravitate toward candidates who echo that sense in their hearts.

They have lines in the sand drawn on many issues, and whether they say it out loud or not, the spirit says “This far and NO FURTHER!” - and today, more have reached that point than ever before since the first American Revolution.

The time is right for a Conservative PAC, a Conservative party and truly Conservative candidates.

Compromise be damned. It serves only the end of evil. There is such a thing as right and wrong and America’s wars were not fought so that perverts, misfits, looters and leeches could feel warm and fuzzy about themselves at our expense.

There are different catergorizations of Political Action Committees: connected and non-connected. Have you decided which one.
