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. Politics shouldn't be a get-rich-quick scheme for consultants with no morals or conscience.
Unfortunately, a new article from the ABA Journal highlights scam PACs could be on the rise:
Scam PACs are some of the worst offenders when it comes to the more deceptive and cynical 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 it's why she introduced the Stop Scam PACs Act and SCAM PAC Act to finally crack down on these scammers.
Thank you,
Team Truth to Power
