      I see @speroman retweeted the Flip The Senate campaign, so I bet he doesn't know he contributed to Mitch McConnell's re-election campaign via Google PAC.

      Oh shit I do see his name in that pdf. @Speroman I'm also seeing other names there that I find hard to believe are knowing contributors to the list of deplorables mentioned by @Pinboard in the thread. Would love to know more.

      Most people donate to the PAC by automatic payroll deduction and have little idea of where the money goes. That's why talking to them and showing specific examples can be so effective.

      When I worked at Google I asked what policies netpac would back. I assumed it would be eff lite or something. Nobody would give me a straight answer so I wouldn't donate. This is why.

      I think the concept is also quite confusing for immigrants who aren't intimately familiar with us politics, I remember being really confused what I was being asked. Not many immigrants are as willing to rock the boat as I am, I think a lot of people probably just sign.

          That's a good point -- does the UK even *have* PACs? I felt like the initial pitch for netpac was something like 'support google's values and business'. Which made me think: "Ok, free speech, fewer dumb regulations about technology..." not "try to buy off a bunch of racists."

          As somebody who had donated to political orgs like the EFF or the ACLU in the past, and had seen Google and other more progressive tech companies do the same, I almost was ready to donate money immediately.
