Step 2: Vote for your choice for PAC name here!

[malkusm]

This thread is part of a process intended on developing a PAC name that is completely decided upon by the grassroots here.


Step 2: Forum vote

The nominations will be included in a poll. The poll will be here on Liberty Forest (if there are 20 or fewer nominations), or a link will be provided for members to vote (if there are more than 20). The voting will be open for THREE (3) days from the time that the poll opens.

Constitutional Alliance Fund FTW.

Easy to say, spell, rolls off the tongue, and sums us what we are about the best.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

having a tough time, wish it was a "pick 3" preference style poll.

 

[MozoVote]

Kind of agree with Gunny. Run this poll again with the top vote getters after it closes.

Here are my immediate thoughts:

Americans for Independence PAC - Sounds like a secessionist organization
American Liberty Alliance - "Liberty" is way overused, and does not poll well with the general public
American States for a Constitutional Republic - Too long
Bill of Rights Coalition - Great
Constitutional Alliance Fund - Decent
Destiny of Nations PAC - Too esoteric
Gadsden PAC - Too partisan and hard to spell
Laissez-Faire PAC - Too French
Liberty Caucus PAC - "Liberty"
Liberty Forest PAC - "Liberty"
Midnight Riders PAC - Esoteric
Political Action PAC - Political Action Political Action Committee?
Rightful Action PAC - Okay
Rightful Remedy PAC - Slightly better than okay
States Rights PAC - Too... confederate
Tea Party States Leaders Fund - Too partisan
Tree of Liberty PAC - "Liberty," and too... bloody

I think "Bill of Rights Coalition" is the best.

Kind of agree with Gunny. Run this poll again with the top vote getters after it closes.

We contemplated doing a multi-pick, but unfortunately, there is no way to limit the number of choices that anyone chooses. So someone could easily pick 14 of the 17 options...no way to say "pick 3" and have it really be scientific.

If you'll notice, Step 3 of this process is to have a "run-off" vote for the Top 3 votegetters if no option gets a simple majority. That should make it easier for everyone to decide. For now, vote for the best option as you see it.

I am in favor of "Rightful Remedy PAC" myself.

I'm kind of surprised nobody offered up Minute Men

 

[RPgrassrootsactivist]

Bill of Rights PAC sounds too general. Many organizations talk about the Bill of Rights. Regardless of one's political affiliation, most people would probably claim (though often incorrectly) that they support the Bill of Rights, meaning that such a name would not clearly reflect the type of organization this is.

 

[Cherder]

I'm digging Bill of Rights Coalition and Constitutional Alliance Fund.

 

[malkusm]

Bump for votes. Looks like voting will close in the early morning on Sunday.

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

It's not too long! It'll work

 

[BuddyRey]

"Midnight Riders PAC" kicks serious ass...really, I love it! But I'm wondering it might not be more strategically intelligent to use a very innocuous-sounding name instead.

 

[malkusm]

Bump for votes

 

[malkusm]

Bump -- ONE MORE DAY of voting. If you haven't voted yet, make your presence felt on this project. Since it looks like no name will get a majority, this is likely to go to a "Top 3" runoff, so each vote is very important....
