Matthew T. Sanderson was part of a panel discussion organized by Netroots Nation where he and other organizers of three unconventional super PACs shared stories of why their work broke through in substantial ways—one using satire (Stephen Colbert's), one using jujitsu to take on money in politics (Friends of Democracy) and one using grassroots power (CREDO). They were joined by Mother Jones' money in politics reporter to help crystallize how using innovative electoral strategies can help to upend the dominance of big money in politics.
