Politics shouldn't be a get-rich-quick scheme for consultants with no morals or conscience.
Have you heard of scam PACs?
They're political action committees that raise money under the pretense of supporting certain causes or candidates, but then spend most or all of the money they raise on "consultants" instead.
They're a shameful way to make a quick buck—and Katie introduced a bill to crack down on them.
Politics shouldn't be a get-rich-quick scheme for consultants with no morals or conscience. When you donate to a political organization, you should be able to expect that your money will go to supporting the candidates or causes that you intend to support.
Scam PACs are also some of the worst offenders when it comes to some of the more unscrupulous fundraising tactics: Things marked with "Warning: Payment Incomplete" to scare people into donating under false pretenses. Or fundraising appeals that promise your contribution will be "400% matched" when no such match exists.
As a consumer protection attorney, Katie has despised these tactics for a long time. It's why she's always insisted that our email program be among the most ethical in politics, and why she introduced legislation to finally crack down on these scammers.
If you agree with Katie that we need to crack down on these types of scams, will you pitch in $5 or any amount today to help send her to the Senate?
