The “End Citizens United” Super PAC has endorsed conservative Democrats over progressive Democrats such as Alan Grayson in Florida. They seem to have spent over ½ of their money on fundraising and for donor refunds. Only 2.5% of the money raised went to candidates. I believe this is not a group for your donations.
According to their through 6-2015 FEC filing 78 donors requested their money back from the “End Citizens United” PAC between April 2 and June 30, 2015. They refunded $78,381 (5% of the total amount raised). The average refund they made was $1,230.70.
During the Jan-June 2015 reporting period raised $1.4 million that could have gone to Move-To-Amend, a real organization working to build the coalition necessary to end Citizens United as the law of the land.
During the Jan-June 2015 period “End Citizens United” spent $608,946 (43% of amount raised) on “fundraising” costs. $35,100 (2.5% of the amount raised) was donated to actual candidates.
