Former Internal Revenue Service commissioner Douglas H. Shulman, a frequent White House guest during the period when the IRS was targeting conservative nonprofits, is married to the senior program advisor for Public Campaign, an “organization dedicated to sweeping campaign reform that aims to dramatically reduce the role of big special interest money in American politics.”

Before coming to Public Campaign, Susan was at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, where she received a master’s degree in public administration. Before resuming her studies, Ms. Anderson spent more than 10 years working on democracy and governance issues in Southern Africa while affiliated with the African-American Institute in New York.

So Mrs. Shulman is being paid by special interests to ensure that special interest money is taken out of politics, or something like that. I guess they just mean “our” special interest money. Eeegads, it just gets worse and worse.
What is her maiden name?
“Curious that Anderson was a regular tweeter with over 1,000 tweets but she stopped tweeting completely a couple days after the IRS story broke.”
Curious that Mrs. Shulman’s cohort, Nygart, delivered the talking points to Politico after the IRS story broke.

IRS apologizes for targeting conservative groups
By BYRON TAU, LAUREN FRENCH and TARINI PARTI | 5/10/13
EXCERPT
“There are legitimate questions to be asked about political groups hiding behind a 501(c)(4) status,” said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO, Public Campaign. “It’s unfortunate a few bad apples at the IRS will make it harder for those questions to be asked without claims of bias.”
Correcton: Nyhart
BTTT
Al Salvi was on FOX news this morning. What he disclosed about being dragged through the courts and Lerner demanding he wouldn’t run for public office should be the next WH scandal. His story needs to get out to more media outlets. This is something even the low information voters can comprehend.
Kentucky Progress: Did the Left Put A “Hit” On Senator McConnell?

EXCERPT
Last Tuesday, Public Policy Polling released their data on McConnell, and Senate Majority PAC launched their McConnell microsite. This is probably aimed to push Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) into running against McConnell. Grimes is still on the fence on whether or not she will mount a senatorial campaign. Now, the Soros-funded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed an ethics complaint with the FBI – and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics – against Sen. McConnell for allegedly “misusing official staff” for his campaign. It's odd, since CREW’s co-founder is Obama ethics czar that has kept the D.C. watchdog community from attacking the president, except when it evidently comes to Republicans.
After Obama’s 2008 election, he tapped Norm Eisen, successful attorney, CREW co-founder, and major fundraiser during his campaign, to be his ethics czar. Yet, as Paul Thacker at Slate noted on March 12:
“Eisen was likely handed the ethics portfolio for a specific reason: He was steeped in the world of Washington watchdogs. (Eisen is one of the co-founders of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW.) With Eisen on board, the administration was able to make cosmetic changes and neutralize harsh disapproval with a classic Washington maneuver—inviting potential critics to the White House for meetings. The administration understood that many of these groups would be satisfied by getting meetings with the ethics czar, and would calculate that if they became too critical of the president that their newfound “access” would be in peril. So the watchdogs have scampered up to the White House time and again, hopeful that maybe with the next election, the next initiative, maybe even the next meeting, something would change.”
As a result, the administration was able to escape harsh criticism in the Fast and Furious fiasco. Nonetheless, Thacker mentioned that when Obama won in 2012, some watchdogs, like Kathleen McClellan of the Government Accountability Project, tweeted if they could now slam the president for his covert operations in the War on Terror.
With McConnell, it seems like Eisen’s group has unleashed the hounds. However, what's more glaring is the fact that Mother Jones, who released the tape, admitted to coordinating this attack back in December when the key players of America's left wing gathered to discuss ways to change American politics – and defeat the conservative movement.
It's called the Democracy Initiative. Yet, during the meeting, “[T]he attendees focused on opportunities for 2013. On money in politics, Nick Nyhart of Public Campaign, a pro-campaign-finance-reform advocacy group, singled out Kentucky, New York, and North Carolina as potential targets for campaign finance fights.
In a recent interview, Nyhart said the Kentucky battle would likely involve trying to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Public Enemy No. 1 for campaign finance reform, who faces reelection in 2014.” Furthermore, “a non-editorial employee of Mother Jones also attended” the conference. CREW was another participant of this progressive cabal.
(Note: Public Campaign has received funding from Open Society Institute.)

Susan Anderson was a tweeter! I bet she and Dougie know how Harry Reid got the Romney information.
