TestPAC (formerly known as "TestPAC, Please Ignore") is a crowdfunded, non-connected political action committee in the United States. Its Chairman is Jeromie Whalen. It is best known for its 2012 campaign to defeat incumbent U.S. Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) in response to the Congressman's introduction of the Stop Online Piracy Act and H.R.1981 〔http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.1981:〕
==History==
TestPAC was registered with the Federal Election Commission on January 31, 2012.〔http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?C00511055〕 TestPAC started when several members of the Reddit community initiated a netroots boycott of GoDaddy.com and "Operation Pull Ryan", where Reddit members helped Paul Ryan's opponent, Rob Zerban raise $15,000 in 48 hours. When Ryan eventually came out in opposition of SOPA, activists Andy Posterick and Jeromie Whalen formed a political action committee for potential future campaigns.
TestPAC was originally registered as "TestPAC, Please Ignore." The name is a play on an inside joke on Reddit;〔http://thenextweb.com/us/2012/03/30/meet-testpac-an-upstart-political-action-committee-that-calls-reddit-home/〕 the site's most popular post ever was titled “Test Post, Please Ignore.” 〔http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/92dd8/test_post_please_ignore/〕
