1. They appear to have been around since the 60's
In the last election cycle they supported mainly repukes and dinos. It's no secret that pro-business pacs have worked against us for decades. They supported a loser in my state in the 2000 election cycle.

What did you hear about bipac that leads you to believe they are an increasing threat?

2. Check their website: BIPAC - Electing Business to Congress
Their agenda is to essentially place business interests in control of government, and they are organized about it. We already know this, but BIPAC is one of those on the front lines doing it.

About BIPAC

And that’s why hundreds of the nation’s “blue chip” companies, the more prominent business and trade associations and small, family-run companies have turned to BIPAC. They support BIPAC because we help American business meet the challenge of identifying, endorsing and electing pro-business candidates with state-of-the-art strategies, tactics and tools.

What makes BIPAC different? We exist to enhance the political success of American business. We even play by the same rules – quality, cost control, return on investment. BIPAC protects your bottom line while increasing your effectiveness.

“For decades, BIPAC has helped energize private sector involvement in the political process. We have learned much from you.”

Lee Raymond, Chairman, President and CEO Exxon Mobil Corporation
