You Can Still Donate To Avenatti's PAC

If you like the way he fights, don't forget, he is running The Fight PAC.

The Act Blue donation page for Avenatti's PAC is here:

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/the-fight-pac-1

The first quarterly report was filed two days ago:

http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/568/201810159125003568/201810159125003568.pdf

11907.98 in receipts

7804.78 in disbursements

Of that 7.8k in disbursements, the lion's share are to:

Act Blue (various amounts)

Break Something (internet advertising) $4500

NGP Van (database provider) $1000

Adam Parkhomenko (travel) $1491

Then there are a bunch of rides on Lyft and some shipping charges.

Advertising is more than half the disbursements so far, so its going to take a whole lot more money before the PAC can start directly supporting candidates.

Pony up.

Sometimes I like his grit and sometimes I think he is like Trump a media whore.

All the ad buys have been made, all the staff have been hired, all the print jobs have been ordered. Every campaign has programmed its resources for the last three weeks of the campaign.

He is running a PAC to fight Trump.

Aside from which it is not uncommon for campaigns to run debts which need to be paid off after the campaign is over. That you are discouraging donations to Democrats is odd.

With respect to Avenatti (whom I received a personal appeal from), his PAC funds MAY go to a candidate this late in the game (do you know which ones?) or they MAY go to his nascent Presidential campaign. As far as I'm concerned, absent a clear plan as to what he;'s doing with the money and why, I told his people to contact me after the Election.
