Progressive Politics

PAC money is a little bit complicated to discuss just because we think of PACs being corporate, but other orgs create them like unions. Also, there are times politicians have extra and so send money to those they want to support, and so it can mean the target gets indirectly funded by money, some of which came from PACs.

That said, as far as I can tell, there are around 20-25 members of Congress (a couple in the Senate, the rest in the House) that have pledged to take no corporate PAC money - but the good news is that list is slowly growing.

We need to continue to pressure them not to take PAC money and support them ourselves since the simple fact is that it takes money to get elected (among other things).

I think this is incredibly important and basically the only non-violent way out of this fascist mess - if we can get enough in Congress who won't take money from our oligarchs, since they (the oligarchs) are the root cause of our fascism.
