I am honored to be nominated to serve as the Political Action Chair. If elected I will work to formalize the endorsement process for local and state candidates and work with local chapters so that we can help them support local candidates of their choosing. Each chapter will be encouraged to have a member on the PAC board and the board will make all decisions regarding which candidates to endorse.
Heath Shuler is the one Bush Dog in North Carolina that has signed a letter calling for Telecom Immunity and threatening to vote against a Protect America Act extension if it does not contain Telecom Immunity.
John McCain is trying to opt out the spending restrictions that he agreed to when he opted into the Federal public financing system last fall. TPM has a complete run down of the details.
The problem is that the head of the FEC has ruled that since he used the public financing as collateral for a loan he is bound by his spending commitments until the general election. The general election starts for Mr. McCain after he is officially nominated as the Republican candidate at the Republican convention.
