New PAC to fight New Hampshire's primary power grab

With just over three years before the 2008 presidential election, it is no surprise that presidential candidates have already begun to visit the state of New Hampshire, site of the first primary election, traditionally the only primary election that matters. Potential Aught-Eight presidential candidates who have already made an appearance in New Hampshire in recent weeks include Wesley Clark, John Edwards, John McCain, Chuck Hagel, Sam Brownback, Hillary Clinton, Charles Barkley, John Wayne, Big Bird, and George W. Bush.

What does come as a surprise is a swelling grassroots movement against the general supremacy of New Hampshire in picking the major-party nominees for presidential elections. A new political action committee (PAC) has been formed, called Citizens of America. The members of Citizens of America are the citizens of America. The spokesperson for Citizens of America, some guy on the street who didn't immediately run away, said that it was "time for the people to wrench their democracy out from the clasped claws of New Hampshire." The controversial PAC has only one major objective at the moment: move every member of the action group to the state of New Hampshire in time for the 2008 primary election. Then and only then, says the spokesperson, will the voices of the Citizens of America be heard.
