BMG PAC: we’re off and running!

By

Well, we’ve gone and done it.  We’ve registered BMG PAC (formally known as “Blue Mass Group Political Action Committee”) with the Mass. Office of Campaign and Political Finance.  You can see our organizing document here (PDF).

We’ve even done up a press release (PDF), since as far as we know this is the first PAC in the country to be organized around a single blog.  (Although some Texans did something similar with TexBlog PAC, a PAC organized by a sort of consortium of several bloggers.)

As soon as we work out a few more paperwork details, we’ll be able to accept contributions.  More to come!

UPDATE: Here’s a story in the Herald (via State House News).

    p>Seriously, though, if there’s anything I’ve learned in politics it’s that nothing makes people take you more seriously than being able to write a $500 check (or bigger, nationally). Nothing.

    p>Just look at Obama — he hasn’t budged on glbt issues yet, but finally throws a (pretty lame) bone because major donors were bailing out on a big gay fundraiser with Biden after the DOMA DoJ flap.

    p>Let’s make it happen

  3. What happened?  Didn’t you just say this?:

    Now, the most important thing is what to call it.  We could just go with “BMG PAC.”  But that’s a little predictable.

      • Next time, isn’t there some way to link this to the original thread even while making it it’s own new post?  I’ve been repeatedly, in vain it appears, returning to the oiginal post for info on this.

  5. A minor question…before giving any money to this PAC, would you mind telling me how you’re planning on spending it?
