Comcast's efforts to protect members of Congress who, in turn, protect Comcast

    So how does this work?

    I'm considering donating, but could you explain to the neophytes like me more precisely how you see this working? This vote is imminent, while the elections are months off, presumably. Is the idea just to scare these targets with the specter that the sum raised will be used against them in the future?

    Thanks!

    Gus
