Two new articles came out today eliminating any doubt that Fair Fight Action is simply a Stacey Abrams dark money slush fund masquerading as a non-profit organization.
After the revelation last week that Fair Fight Action amended its bylaws to allow the group to directly involve itself in political campaigns, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Fair Fight Action plans to run a Super Bowl ad in Georgia featuring Stacey Abrams, and host State of the Union response watch parties in wealthy liberal donor enclaves as well as politically strategic venues around the country.
After Stacey Abrams’ national political tour wraps up, she’ll have a lot of questions to answer from Georgians about her personalized dark money organization. But the first question is: when will the Georgia press interrupt their breathless coverage of Abrams’ potential candidacy to start asking them?

Days before she delivers the biggest speech of her political career, Stacey Abrams will have another super-sized moment during the most-watched television program of the year.
The Democrat’s voting rights group, Fair Fight Action, reserved airtime for a 30-second TV ad that will air in Georgia during the Super Bowl….
It’s the latest step by Abrams to continue to elevate her profile after her narrow November defeat to Gov. Brian Kemp. The capper comes next week when she gives the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
The ramp-up in political activity, which also includes the recent launch of a “thank you tour”, heightens the likelihood that Abrams will challenge U.S. Sen. David Perdue in 2020. She’s given herself a March deadline to decide and faces pressure from state and national figures to run.

…Abrams machine launched a full-scale barrage tied to her official Democratic rebuttal.
Fair Fight Action, the group Abrams started after her defeat to Brian Kemp, announced two dozen watch parties for supporters to “cheer her on as she stands up for voting rights and the will of the people.”
Many of the events are scattered around Georgia, including parties in Albany, Dahlonega, Macon, Savannah and several around metro Atlanta.
But the group has also arranged watch parties in a sweep of places across the nation – including every early-voting state in the presidential primary. That means there will be Abrams parties in Columbia, S.C.; Iowa City, Iowa.; Las Vegas and Manchester, N.H.
Other events will also be held in major cities where she drew many of her donors: Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington.
