National Journal's Under the Influence

In a sign that Obama-style online fundraising is here to stay, political donation site ActBlue outspent any other PAC during the first six months of 2009, according to a report released last week by the Center for Responsive Politics. The left-leaning group sent nearly $8.5 million to Democratic candidates during that period, $3 million more than EMILY's List, the next-highest spender.

Unlike other PACs, which focus on particular issues or agendas, ActBlue is a fundraising tool people can use to send money to whichever Democratic candidates or causes move them to open their wallets. Its quick climb to the top of the list -- the site launched in 2004 -- represents less the rise of any specific issue than it does candidates' growing reliance on online fundraising methods.

And, as quickly as it sends the money out, more keeps coming in. The group announced today that it had hit the $100 million mark in cash raised since its founding, with a reported median donation of $50. And a fundraising drive begun last week to support legislators who favor a public health care option is still bringing in cash and recently surpassed $400,000.

Maybe there should be something said about auto donations as well. People today have started to donate less because of the crisis. Maybe the government should do something about that and solve the problem. There are lots of people who need help from charity organizations.

Wow I was unaware that such huge amoutns had been made to the democratic group during the first quarter. I understand that money must be sent but that number is pretty rediculous! <a href="http://get-rid-of-acne-overnight.org/get-rid-of-your-acne-overnight-free-tips-and-tricks/">Get Rid of Acne Overnight</a>

From election-oriented PACs to cause-oriented PACs such as the Human Rights Campaign, these groups differ greatly in their beliefs, but all use lobbying to reach out to politicians.I don't know if the cause-oriented PACs have other kind of fundraisings or if one can make material donations to them,to donate a car for example.Because of the political nature and lobbying activities, PAC contributions cannot be deducted on taxes.
