Hillary Clinton hasn’t even announced whether she is running for president yet, but a Republican super PAC is already taking preventative measures.

America Rising launched a website Thursday, StopHillary2016.org, which solicits money from donors to “prevent Americans from ever having to see another Clinton in the White House.”

The PAC’s executive director, Matt Rhoades, who had managed the Romney campaign in 2012, wrote in a new fundraising note, according to CNN, “President Obama started his reelection campaign on his first day in office. I saw firsthand how big of an advantage that four year head start gave him in 2012.”

“We can’t allow that competitive advantage [to] occur again,” he continued.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) became the first lawmaker Tuesday to endorse a PAC backing the yet-to-be 2016 presidential contender Clinton.
