Fair trade IMO. Non-endorsees get space on the mailers + access to the voter database; ACDC gets the money to pay for them.
Quote Tweet
So if you were looking for a big discount on fees, you may be disappointed (or mad, if you are running for county council at large.) BUT the ACDC is trying to offer a different value proposition, one that better educates voters and reduces the risk of spending $ to help a rival.

For the snow lovers who want to reminisce, today is the 27th anniversary of the Blizzard of 1996, which struck on Sunday Jan 7 and Monday Jan 8 that year. It remains the storm of record for Philadelphia and Trenton, with over 30 inches in Philadelphia and over 2 feet in Trenton.

Powered by CSPAN hosts, who keep a straight face in situations that would kill a normal person.

The fact that CSPAN still has call in numbers for random people to use to just go off on air is the last vestige of democracy in this country.

Would be a shame if Congress started investigating billionaire team owners that play in publicly subsidized stadiums, enjoy antitrust exemptions, and pocket $$$$ without even pretending to want to win… #LetsGoBucs twitter.com/Travis_Sawchik…

What an incredible story

In 2010, Andrew Bellatti was speeding, lost control & hit a car, killing Dave Reid. Bellatti wasn't drunk or on drugs; he was running late. He wrote a letter to Reid's wife, Lynette, from jail. She found the note in June & began watching Bellatti's games inquirer.com/phillies/phill
