Sure we get worked up at critical bill-passing time, but we need something like Nachum's List of Barack's awfuls to be able to document opposition....and frankly, to decide who's been naughty and nice! That's something FR is well suited to do without any changes.

There are a host of critical issues for any PAC to consider. The obvious practical issues have to be the specific planks, or platforms the PAC is for. I must have a clear message and a defined goal. The next practical issue is who runs this PAC. There is a legal necessity of banking, collection of funds, mailing lists, and exactly how our message gets out. Somebody has to run it.

We have three or four freepers with PAC leadership experience. No one has yet officially offered to run it. But I don’t think we’ve reached a decision on whether or not we need a PAC. It could be that we need directed political activities assigned to members of the group.

I know some are waiting for my “executive summary” of forming and operating a PAC. Perhaps I should focus on that so we can get the group to review it and open discussion on whether or not we want/need a PAC.

I have been a treasurer for a couple of organizations (not of a PAC) but IANAL, so I’m not sure I should offer to do that job. I will if we can’t find an exerienced treasurer or an retired attorney.
