I apologize for being unnecessarily combative in my post.
I’m inclined to believe you here
Thank you for correcting this error (though it’s still a bit weird, pennies per item of bacon is not the exact same as pennies per dollar, though maybe it’s roughly the same...). Your not checking comments a day after posting makes the error make more sense and be less bad.
This updates my estimate of P(AMPA spends all their money on defeating SOB) to a bit higher. I still wish I could see a primary source say this though.
I’m confused as to how Angie Craig’s campaign would help defeat the Save Our Bacon Act. Elections are in November, and the Farm Bill will be done by then, right? I may be confused about this.
Any money sent to a 501(c)4 organization cannot be used on political donations, PAC activities, or advertisements recommending votes for a specific candidate.
I don’t represent AMPA and can’t speak to their fundraising strategy. Our teams work pretty closely together on implementation and will be meeting with Angie Craig together in DC soon.
Please just know that any money sent directly to their c(4) can only be used on issue advocacy, not direct political activity. PAC spending comes from an entirely separate pot of money with similar names and, often, people on the operations side.
2. If it’s pennies per dollar it’s still pennies per item of product, but I’ll change.
3. Remember Craig is supported by the PAC not the 501(c)4. So your money that goes to the 501(c)4 is going wholly to direct issue advocacy (see Leah’s comment as well). Just fwiw this isn’t disputed by the people in the know who are involved.
