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

Two from Alabama to add to the hit list: Sen. Richard Shelby and Rep. Mike Rogers. There’s a few up north, too, who are not good. Let me hunt them up.
Oh yes! Please ADD me to the ping list.
Also, I can help now with some of the organization and contact here in central Alabama and some into GA.
I would like to be added to the ping list and I can contribute my political and fund-raising experience.
please add me to the ping list.
When you guys set this up, you have a donation and a volunteer sitting in my chair as I type this up.
Thank ya’ll!
I’m in!
I’m not sure those that would replace them won’t turn and be as bad as those they replaced. However, I MOST DEFINITELY AGREE in principle and want to be a part. Those two Senators in Maine have to go.
I support your goals...sign me up please.
Please add me to the PAC ping list.
From the Albany NY area, and I will
help this effort.
Great idea.
I would like to help.
I live in the DC area and have wanted an anti RINO effort for years.
I was thinking perhaps we could come along the side of the Tea Party PACs. It would give us a higher impact if we all had the same goals.
I understand the good intentions.
Playing devil’s advocate here:
1. FR is too diverse, even amongst the inner circle of long time moderators/contributors/donors.
2. Serious questions about religious bias amongst policy decisions.
3. The donor base, and the donations to candidates or other 507s or non profits etc would be token amounts that would only be significant through the amplificatoin and magnification of the cause or donation through the FR forum and long tail blogosphere, and that amplification effect will be good for one election cycle, or until the first serious mistake.
4. The long term viability of freerepublic.com is put into jeopardy. The forum becomes a de facto echo chamber of the inner circle of the PAC committee members’ personal biases.
5. Necessary separation of duties between FR 501(c) and FReeperPAC would create divergent agendas between independent posters on the forum and the views espoused and financially backed by the PAC committee and the PACs largest contributors and rented lobbying firm/agents.
6. FreeRepublic.com already hosts the Republican Liberty Caucus forum, RLC has a PAC, Freepers outside of Texas and New Jersey have never been active in RLC PAC. Why would the creation of a new PAC change the equation regarding participation/donation rates?
7. The FR 501(c) will be under constant scrutiny by Democrat administration IRS agents, combatant liberal media agendas, and every idiot or troll who posts of FR forum would be amplified even more than in the past to discredit the PAC, causing enough public scrutiny that intended recipients of FRPAC monies would be forced to publicly announce their position on various troll threads/comments in the forum before accepted or rejecting PAC donations.
8. A FreeperPAC removes the honesty involved in the “grassroots” descriptor from the FreeRepublic mission statement.
regards
I’ll do what I can.

Count me in if this is for primaries but after a primary, I’m GOP all the way. I will not do anything to undermine any Republican candidate. I despise RATS.
