This is a pass-through group. It's not a separate entity. And it's definitely not splitting hairs because you are most certainly getting the description wrong. ActBlue doesn't "decide" how to spend the money.

It's a new model for fundraising in Illinois legislative campaigns. This PAC is fairly new, I find it interesting to see how it's working out in practice, and I think others will want to see how this model works.

ActB...Yeah, I was just going to say the same thing. ActBlue is basically an online fundraising tool, not a PAC in it' own right.

Take a look at the <A HREF="http://www.actblue.com/" REL="nofollow">parent organization</A> and you'll see it's a national group which has been around a while and acts as a centralized clearinghouse for Democratic Internet users. Because of IL law, it had to form that state committee here. It's not a top-down group, it's bottom-up.Rich Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405714376169753223noreply@blogger.com
