PowerPAC in Politico
Ben Smith writes about our plans for the Fall in today's Politico:
PowerPAC.org, which aided Obama in the Democratic Primary, is launching a voter registration drive in the African-American south and a media campaign targeting Hispanic voters in four Western states, said the group's president, Steve Phillips. He said the aim was to capitalize on Obama's momentum to benefit progressive causes and candidates around the country."This is a larger movement—it's not just a question of getting one man elected," said Phillips, a former president of the San Francisco Board of Education.
Contrary to the headline, we don't actually have $10 million -- though that is our fundraising target for the Fall program.
