This may be a topic for our regional FReeper conventions coming up, but how many of you would be interested in forming an official conservative FReeper PAC for raising funds to help replace Dems and RINOs and to get conservatives elected?
Yes include me in.
Can you ping your lists to this thread? Jim is asking about a FreeRepublic PAC, and thanks!
Yes, count me in...
But I dont know what to do...
Full pingout for a seriously good idea.
PING to JimRob’s idea for a Conservative FReeper PAC
The keeper of the pings lists, cgk, has a ping list thread here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1811878/posts
I don’t have any money and I’m trying to get into law school, but I’m interested
Can you collect donations here? Or would it have to be a related website? Whatever, make is easy to donate!
Thanks for the ping. I told him I’m interested.
Sounds interesting. I don’t know what’s required.
South east region FReeper meeting?
It is not just Soros’s billions. I suspect he has access to far more resources than are openly attributed to him. That 550bil bank run looked awfully like his sort of operation.I believe he is truly the richest man on Earth. I think he controls many billions that are under other peoples’ names.
Generally speaking, it looks like the Free Republic could magnify and focus its strong voice in getting actual Conservatives elected and re-elected. I do not like titles, but to me a conservative is simply someone with common sense (i.e. someone who can connect the dots) when it comes to borders, language, culture, and citizenship responsibilities in the community, the USA, and the world. A FReeper PAC may very well be the logical next step.
I’m here. I’m not sure how I can help but I’m interested.
Oft repeated concerns arise,
1. Invitation for further lawsuits and DMCA take down notices by media corporations.
2. The trove of incendiary comments in your databases will be exploited.
3. FR’s advisory board is not of one mind, setting up a PAC charter on polcies id the PAC is a multi-issue advocate is going to problematic.
4. You already host the web forum for the Republican Liberty Caucus PAC, yet I have not seen any new freeper activity inside RLC in over 2 years.
5. A FR PAC would immediately put you in (friendly) competition with otherwise longtime associates on the right, be it for publicity, advocacy, donation dollars, web traffic etc.
6. Many Freepers are appointed, elected or career government employees, the FR PAC website and forum would have to be COMPLETELY separated from freerepublic.com or the government employees could run afoul of the Hatch Act. Also, freerepublic.com forum could be added to (more) blacklists used by government IT admins, this time with justification.
7. Crosspostings from the FRPAC website to freerepublic.com forums could lead to malicious prosecution under 11 CFR 104.20.
/not a lawyer, don’t play a lawyer on tv, and have been known to be wrong before.
Free Republicans?
The man (JR) keeps saying to ping your lists....
Consider yourselves pinged!
Jim, GREAT idea....I’m sure this will be discussed tonight...
Sounds like a plan I can support! My senators and reps aren’t too bad, but there are MANY that need booting out!
Proud of Judd Gregg today for saying “no” to stupidy, waste and fraud on the American citizenry!
YOU GO GUY!! You da man!
I have the perfect picnic grounds for a gathering, up in East Tennessee. Even have camping space for tents and such.
Count me in for Nor Cal.
