According to Politico, Netflix is starting a PAC, (FLIXPAC) The most likely target of their PAC spending will likely be directed towards the next version of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) There are a number of cybersecurity and piracy bills working their way through congress and Netflix wants to be part of the discussions and have input in the final results.
Since 2009 Netflix has increased political spending from $20,000 to over $500,000 in 2011, the creation of the FLIXPAC will only increase their political spending.
Netflix Official line during the SOPA debates was that its stance was neutral, however, any anti-piracy bill will help cut off free/cheap entertainment and by default make Netflix an attractive avenue for entertainment. It will be interesting to watch how the pac spends its money on capitol hill.

Recently, the BGA successfully complete two years of Freedom of Information Act litigation with the Governor in which we forced him to release federal grand jury subpoenas issued to his office in the first half of 2006.

After winning at the trial court level in early 2008, we sent in a second Freedom of Information Act request asking for a broader range of subpoenas. Although we were denied at the time, after winning an appeal related to the litigation we reminded the administration early in January of this year that our second request was outstanding.

We made it clear that if our second request wasn’t complied with by the close of business on January 23, 2009 we would sue them again and the result would be the same. Thankfully the Blagojevich administration decided a second beat down in court wasn’t in their interest and gave us copies of more subpoenas.

However, before giving us the documents on the 23rd the administration helpfully gave the records many media outlets before giving them to us. In an even more generous gesture, they gave the media an even broader range of subpoenas than they gave to us (our early 2008 request only asked for subpoenas through served on the administration through January 4, 2007).

I can’t really claim to be too upset. We have been very critical of the administration and beat them in court. It is probably a bit much to expect them to extend us a courtesy. Besides, in a few days we will be rid of the Governor and that is far more important than his tweaking the BGA.

There are times when nursing mothers can’t or are unable to provide their babies with natural breast milk. A great solution during these times is Baby Formula.  It’s quick and easy, just add water and warm it up and when you have a baby that’s hungry and crying, especially during the middle of the night, quick and easy is your friend.   One downside to baby formula is the cost, while prices of baby formula vary by size, store and maker, they tend to average around $40 for a can.  One solution to help ease the cost of purchasing baby formula is COUPONS FOR BABY FORMULA. In order to win over buyers of baby formula, the makers over coupons, sometimes as much as 15% off the cost. Finding coupons for baby formula isn’t as hard as it used to be as there a numerous websites that now either provide coupons that can be printed and taken to the store or provide links to where you can download coupons for baby formula.  Never has there been a time where it’s been easier to find coupons for baby formula, it’s just a click of the mouse away.
