When you donate to candidates make sure the money is going to the candidates. When you donate through @actblue they tell you who your donations are going to. If it states a “PAC” Political Action Commitee do more research as to who get that’s that money.
As an example @ElectroBoyUsa is tweeting ferociously all day about his “Win Back PAC”. Pushing a narrative we all care about, turning seats red and getting rid of the crazies. But where does the money actually go?
All Pacs need to file financials with the “Federal Elections Commission” which states all the financials for the PAC. How much money they take in, who donated, and who they paid the money to. https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?C00762856
When I reciew the 2020 statements for Win Back PAC there are a few concerning things.

Total Money Rasied $304,543

Donations to Federal Candidates
$8,400

Odd that he donated so little.
Total Donations to Campaigns

Warnock for Georgia $2800
Warnock Victory Fund $5000
Ossoff for Senate $2800
Ossoff Victory Fund $5000
Ammar Campa-Najjar for Congress $2800
Alex Padilla for Congress $5000
Expenses:

Foss Entertainment LLC $49,500
Olin Entertainment LLC $45,00

Additional: Act Blue Fees and other random fees not totaling much money.
When you do a simple White Pages address search for the address listed for Olin Entertainment LLC and Foss Entertainment LLC on the FEC filings, you see it’s a residential home with an occupant that is concerning....
Foss and Olin Entertainment LLC’s are located at the place Andy resides and those “consulting” companies paid someone at Andy @electroboyusa’s residence roughly $94,500...... while only donating $23,400 to campaigns.
So just remember when donating through @actblue make sure the money is going where you think it is. I only donate directly to campaigns or through forms that split between multiple campaigns, if it funnels through a PAC, do more research.
Act Blue isn’t the problem it’s grifters
Several grifters have found it easy money to solicit donations on social media through a PAC all while pocketing tons of money for themselves.

All FEC filings are public information. And you can see where all the money goes, wether to candidates or through “firms”, into pockets.
Andy is not appreciating me pointing out the above. @electroboyusa
