Jeff Brooks has created The Committee for the Advocacy of Space Exploration, a "Political Action Committee" recently created to step outside the lines of a the traditional 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Basically, a PAC can endorse candidates and sink it's teeth into elections and issues with more freedom than a non-profit. Investigate this organization. Size Jeff Brooks up. Read his stance on the issues. Donate. I have asked that they provide a Paypall web widget to make it easier to donate and available to put a donate button on your one blogs, websites, facebook profiles, etc.
I appreciate the stance of promoting multiple enabling space initiatives and technologies, rather than focusing on one over another.
Of himself, Jeff says:"In my time, I have worked on political campaigns as a policy analyst and staffer, learning the ropes in the cutthroat world of Texas politics (if you think politics in Washington is rough, try spending some time in Austin). I have walked the halls of the Texas Legislature and the United States Congress as a professional lobbyist. The issues on which I have worked run the gamut from children’s health insurance and identify theft protection to reducing interest rates on student loans and reforming the electoral process."
Contact the Space PAC at:
PO Box 200243
Austin, TX 78720-0243
and call them at 904-382-8348
Read the blog. Send Jeff an email. Put your money where your mouth is.
