Isn't the number one job of conservatives at this moment to force the repeal of Obamacare?

It's all open for debate. If we are concerned about alienating libertarians from donating then we can make the mission statement broader and general.

As Nachum mentions, and I concur, being Jewish and more aligned with (small L) libertarian activism than the variety of intermountain West and Deep South social conservatism of many on FR....

And if the mission statement is any broader, how different from the RLC PAC will FR PAC really be?

Economies of scale become an issue as stated above, the regulatory and bureaucratic barriers to entry require a large start-up fund when their isn’t a corporate backer for a PAC.

I think there are a few fundamental positions that should not be compromised even if it potentially may alienate the little 'l' libertarians.

Pro-life, pro-gun and pro-marriage (defined strictly as between a man and woman) are key tenets in my opinion. They are among the non-negotiable items set forth in Jim's founding statement. Yes, by definition there will be give and take on certain issues that might rankle we Social Conservatives. At the same time, the FReeper PAC ought to take measures very early to avoid big-tent "Log Cabinism".

All IMHO and with due respect to those with tenure here who have fought the good fight year after year.
