A political action committee (PAC) is an organization set up under Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules that allow people who share common interests (i.e. employees of a company or members of an association) to provide financial support to candidates running for elected office. A PAC pools money to support those candidates whose views align with those of the PAC and its sponsoring organization.
Motorcycle Riders Foundation – Politically Active Cyclists (MRF PAC) is registered (C00298356) as a Qualified Non-Party, Special Segregated Fund (SSF) with the FEC. Solicitations for funds can only be made to members of our restricted class, which is the members of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF).
Communications with the general public are covered under FEC rule 11 CFR 114.5(i): an SSF may communicate with the general public using PAC funds on any subject (except soliciting funds for the PAC), including express advocacy.
MRF PAC provides MRF members with information on candidates running for Federal office (US Senator, US Representative) based solely on motorcycling issues, and operates under the federal election laws and regulations set by the FEC.
