I’ll give the Fight PAC a little and see how it goes. I’m intrigued by the idea of fighting to win on our side, instead of holding back so much out of political politeness. Normally I wouldn’t support this tactic, but there’s just too much at stake.

I’ve been an activist union member for decades and know first hand that it’s when you stop asking politely like Oliver Twist and start using the courts as a means to force your requests be taken seriously you get real results. Avenatti is a pro in this system of getting fair justice. I trust that part of him.

I’m also not averse to him running for office. It’s our American right to do so. If he fails then best to know it for a fact.
