Informative article: Friends Of Democracy, PAC-Super PAC Hybrid, Launched To Go After Other Super PACs

The article below discusses an effort to put a harsh spotlight on the coercive effect super PACs are having on the political process, Ilyse Hogue, a former top official at MoveOn and Media Matters, and David Donnelly, the Executive Director of the Public Campaign Action Fund, will file paperwork with the FEC on Monday to formally create an entity called Friends of Democracy.  Friends of Democracy will aim to demonstrate the need for campaign finance reform by using its limited resources to shame the biggest donors and their recipients. The hybrid PAC will have more operational flexibility than a traditional PAC established as an arm of existing campaign finance non-profit.
