Former Clinton Aides Launch New Super PAC
https://www.nbcnews.com/politi...?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma

Former aides to Bill and Hillary Clinton are launching a new super PAC to upgrade Democratic organizing and fundraising in support of the party's candidates around the country, NBC News has learned.

The new group, called Party Majority, would act as a parallel structure to Democratic Party committees at the national and state levels while coordinating with them. Its creation comes at a time when party committees are struggling to maintain their relevance as donors increasingly push money to political organizations that can raise and spend money with less regulation.

Party Majority co-founder Mike Lux, a former aide to President Bill Clinton

Lux and the other co-founder, Adam Parkhomenko, who built Ready for Hillary, later served as director of grass-roots engagement on Clinton's presidential campaign and is currently a paid adviser to Clinton

Ultimately, Party Majority is designed to address what its founders see as deficiencies in the way Democrats run campaigns right now — too much emphasis on data analytics, television advertising and raising money for specific candidates and not enough on building the networks of personal relationships that activate voters and keep them engaged from election to election.

isn't that what Donna Brazille said ?

A hybrid PAC is defined by the Federal Election Commission as one that collects and spends money using one bank account that is subject to federal limits and a separate account that can receive unlimited contributions for expenditures that are independent of federal campaigns and committees

sounds like a Clinton approach

Yeah, but Brazille isn’t a team player now.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

So, if the DNC finally falls because of the corruption and Obama's robbery, this alternate or parallel party structure is ready to be deployed?

No need to rebuild from the ground up. That's smart.

Interestingly enough, that was precisely what Bill is supposed to have said to Hill during the election last year.

They've always been spinning off PACs according to one book that I read. One reason is to hide where the money goes and where it came from.

Another reason is that it's usually the same people who head these many "different" pacs usually headquartered in the same location. Hard to believe that the reason is so that those involved can get another paycheck. Imagine that.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

A parallel to the DNC, 'coordinating' with state and local parties? Wasn't that exactly the issue with HRC controlling the DNC's purse strings?

dicks.

fuck the Clintons.

I can't help but think that from this sentence, they don't know what Grass Roots really means.
It doesn't need a "director" unless your aim is to massage it and turn it into virtually nothing that resembles what it started out to be.
