A note on ActBlue
I have to say, I'm not familair with the ActBlue website, but just giving it a cursory look right now, it doesn't seem to be working too diligently against Chris Carney. While the site DOES provide links for opposition to him and against retroactive immunity, it also has 'Carney for Congress' links to contribute to his campaign and 'Spread the Word' about him.
As I indicated in the post, the general purpose of Act Blue is to help elect worthy Democrats. They actually raised money for Carney in the 2006 cycle, and that's one of the reasons they were so disappointed with his performance since being elected.
As I also indicated, a new organization is being created in order to do more things like the Carney ad campaign. For this campaign, Act Blue was used just to enable the raising of funds because it was already up and running. The account for the Carney campaign is completely segregated from all other parts of Act Blue and is being used exclusively for this FISA/amnesty campaign and nothing else.
