These were some of the "links" I used to look this stuff up.

Please feel free to "Edit" this post; my Composition is terrible; it is hard to really STUDY English Grammar and Structure when your teacher is ALWAYS quoting lines from the Communist manifesto..if you know what I mean.

Welcome to FR with one of the best opening posts you could have. Been using Open Secrets for sometime and think everyone needs to bookmark the site to follow the donations.

I just pinged the Bush-Cheney '04 list.

Thanks for posting this info.

[AirBorn]

Thanks for the owrds of encouragement.

Between trying to get info to expose the " Do as we SAY..NOT as WE DO" philosophy of the left.

I try to get sites some my brother like;

http://www.glenbeck.com/news/01302004.shtml

about "WHAT DID the Democrats SAY about the Iraq's WMD "
too.

Just that, even as a kid, I can see that the Mulitude of AVERAGE AMERICANS accross the land SUPPORT the simple , heart felt beliefs of a Conservative life and party--while it just seems to me that...to have a FEW,RICH, FOREIGN people with their OWN agendas try to "SWAY" other just because THEY are individually rich --is, in no better words,

" UN-American" somehow. Like..what happened to
" One Man/Woman= One Vote " ??
And despite the lies form the Lifet--it is NOT the "Right" doing it.

FREEREPUBLIC ROCKS!!

Tom.

527 Committee Activity
Top 50 Organizations

527 groups are tax-exempt organizations that engage in political activities, often through unlimited soft money contributions. Most 527s on this list are advocacy groups trying to influence federal elections through voter mobilization efforts and so-called issue ads that tout or criticize a candidate's record. 527s must report their contributors and expenditures to the IRS, unless they already file identical information at the state or local level. The figures below are taken from 527 group filings with the IRS. (To view 527s for state party or candidate committees, such as the Republican Governors Association and the Democratic Governors Association, click here.)

* Joint Victory Campaign 2004 is a joint fund-raising committee run by America Coming Together and the Media Fund. Money raised by JVC is divided between these two beneficiaries. Combining receipts for these three groups would result in double-counting.

HOW TO READ THIS CHART: This chart lists the top donors to these committees during the 2004 election cycle.

Contributions may come from the organizations themselves or its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

AirBorn, great links and welcome.

PhiKapMom, thanks for the ping.

Amazing how the liars and pyschotics in charge of the lefts media in the US are worried about the Texan donors to the Swift Boat Vets, and they ignore the millions and millions donated by the super rich elite lunatic lefties like $oreA$$, Lewis and others.

Ummm .. Total Expenditures means total money spent right???

[PhiKapMom]

Thank you much! Nice to have that added to this thread!

[Reagan Man]

The conservtive Club for Growth, a Bush supporter, have numbers along the same lines.

Total Receipts = $4,818,063
Expenditures = $6,610,032

I'd say both are spending beyond their means and will have to play catchup later on.

[Reagan Man]

Links come and go. This stuff is from the "source" and will live on FR forever! ;^)

[AirBorn]

Wow!!

Thanks for the GREAT LINKS and PIC of Sorros!!

I think I will get my bro to put this one on one of his T-Shirts for me for when I go to classes!!

I had hoped to write a book BEFORE the election since everyone else had this year. I was going to call it,
" The Plight of a Conservative Teenager in the Libbie-land of the Public School System."

But since a photo of when Presdient George Bush was Campaigning here accidentally took it showing ME in the 37th row of the gathering, way in the back, almost behind a speaker tower, with my hat on....I wouldn't want ANY CHANCE that the left would put ANY CONNECTIONS to ME working hand in hand with the Re-Elect George Bush Campaign now..would I!!? You know..conflict of interest stuff.

Thanks again everyone. My brother is the "Old Timer" and, with the exception of the time he let me borrow his car for prom night--him letting me use his computer and directing me to this wondersful site is the best that "old-Timer" had done for me!! ( okay--beside giving me money to donate to here and a few other Conservative sites too!)

"Liberal press?? Liberal media?? NONSENSE--nothing but a CONSERVATIVE BIAS REALLY!!"--I guess this is their NEW ATTACK now!!-- I guess THAT is why with the INTERNET, Sites like FreeRepublic, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, NewMax, etc.--The Liberals are Fighting like NOTHING BEFORE to HIDE information like this!!
My brother said--there's a WHOLE LOT MORE HIDDEN behind the Gore, Hillary, Kerry, Ted, ATTACKS than POLITICS--HE said he has in his last 5 election cycles has NEVER SEEN!! :

@THIS much HATE and
@PUSH for the left to get BUSH out and THEM IN!!

And HE thinks it is because people like ME can come here on the INTERNET and BY-PASS all the Liberal Newspaers, Mags, Talkshows, movies, news commentators, pundits, local liberal papers, liberal TV stations, shows, "news" stations, Liberals leaning TV 'movies', talk shows, "Doctumentaries",liberal advertisements, campaign hand-outs and flyers, and Brokoffs,Jennings,Rathers, Cronkites, Courics, Andy Roonies,Wallace, Bradely, CBS, NBC,ABC,New york times, LA times, Distorted Rpatch.
I'd go on with the list, but don't want to crash anyone's computer.
Don't know if this theory is true--maybe some of YOU "old Timers" can tell if it is!

All I know is--WHAT would it be WORTH for the LEFT--to get RID of a "TOOL" like the Internet and to be able to stop people like ME to get things like the great Information YOU are giving me NOW!! Here!!??

I Think they would sell their SOUL to get "Control" of the INTERNET!--At least--from the "leaked MEMO's" and over heard "...their the most CROCKED!..lying...bunch of theives..." Kerry Quote-That would NEVER had made it into the LIBERAL MEDIA without FOX or the INTERNET!!-I think they would AT LEAST would want to try.

Sorry for the ' run-off-at-the-mouth! these last weeks may be the last I have to have CONTACT with ANY CONSERVATIVES after I start attending school again.

Thanks for the Support too! and Thanks MEEKONE for the Pic!!
