Ever wanted your own PAC? You’d take in money from friends and family and distribute the money to your favorite Democratic candidates around Virginia — people like Peter deFur, Supriya Christopher, and Linda Crandell — in lumps of a few hundred bucks apiece. Would it be cool if you could do that?
Well, now you can.
ActBlue, the website that allowed activists from across their country to form their own quasi-PACs, has expanded to Virginia for this year’s election. Beginning immediately, you can create an account on their site, select the candidates to whom you’d like to direct your giving, and e-mail a link to your quasi-PAC to friends and family. Their giving will be divided up among the candidates that you specify, with ActBlue handling all of that messy paperwork that the SBE requires of PACs.
Create an account today and start raising money for your own slate of Virginia Democrats.
Heh. I should sign up and direct my payments to be made to GOP candidates. Wonder what they’d do…
I think you’d have a hard time finding the name of a Republican on that website by whose name you could input a dollar value. :)
Oh.. It’s thataway… forgive my failure to visit the site…
