Seems this is a DNC front group.....x42's fingerprints are on this one.....I will bet !!
The respondents could not identify the source, because the ads did not say that American Family Services’ main supporter was the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Nor is that information available on AFV's website (http://www.checkforyourself.com). AFSCME is one of America=s largest and most politically active labor unions, with 1.3 million members. AFSCME=s political action committee gave about $2.4 million to federal candidates in this election; roughly 95 percent to Democrats. AFSCME gave $4.4 million in soft money in the 1999-2000 cycle. [3] Not only was this more than any other entity gave in that campaign, but it set a new record for soft-money contributions.[4] AFSCME sent 270 delegates to the Democratic National Convention.[5] AFSCME president Gerald McEntee chairs the AFL-CIO political committee.[6]
AFSCME provided $800,000 to create American Family Voices in July 2000. American Family Voices is a social welfare organization organized under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, so it does not have to disclose its donors. Michael Lux, AFV's president and a former Clinton White House staffer, claimed in August that he had already raised an additional $700,000 for the campaign.[7] Later numbers were not available at the time of this report.
Considering McAullife was UOx42's hand-picked leader of the DNC, and considering his singular role was the creation of a legacy by getting Tree into the White House no matter what, I would say your theory is a safe bet.
The group's D.C. conference included Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe; Ralph Neas, president of the liberal watchdog group People for the American Way; Kate Michelman, president of NARAL; Ellen Malcolm, president of Emily's List; House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt, Missouri Democrat; former Clinton administration officials James Carville, Paul Begala and Joe Lockhart; former Gore 2000 campaign manager Donna Brazile; and representatives of several labor unions.
