Easy one.
Every dollar given to Tides by Heinz was used to offset monies spent on radical, Left wing policies. If they don't get the Heinz money, they don't fund as many radical causes.
Heinz-Kerry affiliates herself with the Tides Foundation, who donates to anti-American causes. What more needs to be said?
Sort of like the United Way. You can specifically target your donation, but non-specifically targeted donations will be shifted away, so net-net, it all goes where the BOD whores want to put the money.
Of course they are going to deny it. They have learned very well the trick of foundation money laundering so it is very difficult to trace. Unless there is subpoena power and these people are dragged into court, it will never be able to be proven. But make no mistake, the money is funneled to extremists.
This is the second of these after one on Kerry's medals. Snoopes seems to have started taking sides and is pretty useless now as far as I am concerned.
snopes wasn't that useful when he was at his high-water mark for usefulness.
Snopes is wrong on purpose here. The site is run by liberals.
Who funds Snopes?
Yes Snopes is part of the vast left-wing conspiracy.
This is the 2nd or 3rd article from snopes that seems very defensive of Kerry/Heinz by centering in on nuances.
These articles seem more at being defensive than at being truth-bearers.
Here's mine,Scumbag left wing propaganda site run by Barbara and David P. Mikkelson both certified SCUM!
So her money is earmarked for certain projects?
SO WHAT?
It's her CELEBRITY that gives the foundation PR and gets donations etc.
Do liberals really think people are stupid?
Snopes is a Leftist site run by Leftist sympathizers who actively work to support the Leftist Agenda through disinformation to the Sheep.
They have declared their antipathy toward the War on Terror; they have "de-bunked" the Clinton Body Count, and have substitutued a Bush Body Count .
And now, they seek to go further, by "educating" the Sheep to the "truth" of Teresa Heinz and her support of Leftist entities in this country.
Do not give them the Web hit, and the advertizing dollars, that this propaganda organ so desperately needs.
Snopes is becoming obviously heavy left leaning. There have been several things they have been absolutely wrong on, but posted it to make Kerry seem better.
The Terror in the Skies thing was listed as false, but that was only because of ONE leftist article disputed it, where there were several articles that backed up what she said.

Remember PROGRESIVE IS LIBERAL
Engaging Communities of Color.
Operation Big Vote consists of 35 local coalitions
registering, educating and motivating black voters in over 75 target cities.
Avoid Another Florida Debacle.
People for the American Way Foundation’s Election
Protection Program educates voters in key states on their voting rights.
New Information Strategies.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has created
Election Center 2004 for people who want accurate and timely information about the
presidential candidates and their positions on issues of concern to lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender people.

Energize youth.
Hip Hop The Vote goes to high school football games and malls around
the country to register and energize 18-24 year olds. Youthvote’s Smackdown Your Vote!
aims to register thousands of new voters at World Wide Wrestling events in 2004.
Organize Low Income Communities.
The Center for Community Change’s
Community Voting Project is working to increase voter participation among communities
with histories of low voter turnout.

Build a vision for the future
As we mobilize voters, let’s move them toward a positive, vision of the future. For example, the Apollo
Alliance brings together labor, community, environmental and business leaders with common interests in
energy innovation and rebuilding communities. Center for American Progress is a think tank
challenging policies while promoting a long-term vision of America. Campaign for America’s Future
offers talking points, research, polling, and other material to promote public debates about failed
government policies and provide positive alternatives.
Rebuild democracy
What’s the use of voting if the system is corrupted by money and not accessible to all? Among the
groups working to secure voting rights, promote electoral reform, or other structural change are: Demos,
working to raise public awareness about the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and its fair implementation;
Fannie Lou Hamer Project trains community-based organizers throughout the African American and
Latino communities; and Democracy Matters, organizing college students about campaign finance
reform.
Beyond the obvious targets
As major national efforts focus on “big targets,” what about other states and constituencies? Arab
Americans and South East Asians aren’t the “new soccer moms,” but that won’t stop the Arab
Community Center for Economic and Social Services voter registration program. The Western
Organization of Resource Councils has developed a successful and innovative state-based and local
organizing system over a broad region.
If “early money is like yeast” what about late money?
In every presidential election year, early money is always needed to get voter registration
and education campaigns started. But financial support that comes later can help
groups to hire more field staff and bridge funding gaps that emerge in the weeks
leading up to an election.
Tracking your dollars
If you’re looking to give money that can be tracked to measurable outcomes, voter
registration efforts are your best bet. Studies show that GOTV efforts, while more
expensive, are the most effective at increasing voter participation. Paid media
campaigns—billboards, print and broadcast advertising—are expensive and hard to
track back.
Movement building for 2004 and beyond
Obviously, the need for strong social movements doesn’t end on November 5, 2004. While we support
organizations in 2004, we also should consider how we are building the capacity of organizations to
sustain their work in the future.
We should help build the membership, volunteer and leadership base of
organizations. We should support organizing work that will further
engage and empower communities beyond 2004.
Snopes has been politicized on a wide variety of issues.
