One to watch
At the GOP presser today, I ran into the guys from IMPAC, the Independent Minority Political Action Committee.
They’re a relatively new group, and if nothing else will add to the groups and organizations that do endorsements this fall.
There’s also the potential for them to do some fund raising and campaign donations, as they have filed an organization statement with the State Board of Elections.
The group is lead by Jerry McClough, who is writes the ThatsWhatzUp! blog.
I asked McClough to talk a bit about his group:

- Click here to listen to him talk about the older, better known Simkins PAC.
It was an interesting conversation, one I hope to continue for a story before too long.

I knew Jerry had started ImPAC, but I didn't realize they were going to formalize the PAC part. Good for them. These guys are going to make things happen -- a Simpkins PAC for the next generation.

The links are broken to the audio, but still... Go Jerry.

Not sure when you logged in, but I just checked from my home computer and they're running fine here.

Jerry McClough is a young man on a mission. The brother is all about change. My brother has it in his heart and that is no doubt in my mind. You have my support. I am just a phone call away.

IMPAC would like to thank everyone for their support.
We know that this is not going to be an easy journey, however together we can make it...
It's time for us the righteous to come together and stand up and say enough is enough. We the righteous must rise up...
