State-level PACs are planned, once we have enough members in a state to make a difference. [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value.

In our defense, I'd point out two things: 1.) MoT's girlfriend, CITS, doesn't work for the PAC in any capacity, so we have no control over anything she writes in her diaries and she doesn't represent us. 2.) MoT's style is bombastic, it gets noticed and gets on the rec list at DailyKos. At the end of the day, we don't control what he writes either, even though he does represent us - I'm sorry you've taken issue with his latest effort. We'll discuss what you've written at our next steering committee meeting and I'll personally let you know what shakes out, ok?

After reading the latest rant by Ministry of Truth filled with profanity, insults, ignorance and just overall unbalanced rage, I can't join or help you out. It's a very bad reflection on your organization, and I'm just not comfortable with becoming a member after reading his work. But I wish you much luck and support the same people you chose. I hope you can make a difference. You need to tell him that if he is trying to sell your brand, not to insults a large swath of potential clients with this insulting diary. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/5/25/869388/-CLAP-LOUDER-or-Tinkerbell-WILL-DIE-and-Obamas-approval-rating-will-drop#c64 The same goes for the person he said is his girlfriend who he lives with, who tries to help him pull in new members.

I go by ladykline in my online political activities, because some of my clients are allergic to politics. I'm an energy efficiency and sustainability consultant and advocate. Born and raised in California by a couple of socialist eco-freaks, and determined to keep fighting to pull our country back from the far-right policies of the last decade. Trying to maintain hope for true progress, even in the face of recent disappointments. Happy to have a place like PBPAC where I can give money to candidates that actually excite me! Hello All!

I've been having a difficult time deciding between Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner in this race, often for the reasons you mentioned: Fisher is favored by party leaders (and they must know something, right?!?) but Brunner is a breath of fresh air with solid Progressive ideas. Your article, along with following the two candidates campaigns, has helped me make a decision to support Jennifer Brunner! Thanks for your wonderfully well written article.
