Do you donate to the DNC, to PACS, or individual candidates?

Here is my favorite (and the only one I have donated money to this year):

"Citing the need to help Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans’ campaigns for Congress become sustainable without party support, New School President and former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey joined the Board of Advisors of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Political Action Committee (IAVA PAC) today.

“Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans running for Congress represent the new generation of leadership that this country desperately needs. As newcomers to politics, however, these candidates need a certain level of support that IAVA PAC will provide,” said Senator Kerrey. “Neither party can afford to discourage this new generation of Veterans from serving in public office. I am proud to stand with an organization that is doing the opposite – encouraging more Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of both parties to run for office.”

“I am excited that Senator Kerrey has decided to join our movement, and help me as an advisor,” said Jon Soltz, a 28-year old Iraq combat Veteran and Executive Director of IAVA PAC. “From the moment I met Bob Kerrey, it became very clear that besides being an American hero, he is also one of the most intelligent minds in any business. He has credibility as a non-partisan voice on the issues our organization is addressing, and will be a powerful ally.”

Mr. Kerrey joins retired General Wesley Clark, Iraq Veteran and former US House and Senate candidate Paul Hackett, former President of the Council on Foreign Relations Leslie H. Gelb, best-selling author and Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran Nathaniel Fick, and Iraq Veteran Paul Rieckhoff on the Board of Advisors."

Although they are non-partisan, they support Democrats overwhelmingly. My support for them is my way of supporting the troops, and I get satisfaction from knowing all my $$$ are to support these brave men and women who deserve to be heard. I also think getting Democratic veterans into congress is the best way the Democratic Party can improve it's image on national security and "take back the flag."

I would be interested to know what PAC(s) other DU'ers support and why, or if you exclusively support the DNC and DCCC. I think this is a good topic for discussion because in 06' it is critical our resources go to where they will do the most good and revitalize the Democratic Party.
