CHICAGO - Pittsburgh is home to a new liberal funding organization that lists its priorities as the local environment, land use and "sustainability." However, its affiliations raise questions about its real purpose. Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, heir to the Heinz food company fortune and wife of Democrat presidential contender Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

-"What makes the pairing with Tides troubling is that organization's secretive funneling of cash from private foundations -- such as Heinz, the Pew Charitable Trusts and many others -- to extreme left-wing activist groups whose interests include exclusion of humans from both public and private lands, anti-war protests, opposition to free trade, banning of firearms, abolition of the death penalty, unlimited abortion rights, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy, as well as and environmental extremism.

I saw on another thread that the Tides Center has some ties with the Peaceful Tomorrows group that has been complaining about the new Bush ads.

O'Reilly and Rush need to take a look at this. . .even Neil Cavuto would be interested.
Incredible; clear why the Dems make such a show over campaign finance reform; knew it was a bad joke; just not how big!

Funny thing, now I am wondering if this info has been put into public view, compliments of the Clinton's.
Okay; I will 'get a grip' here; they are certainly not under every rock - just most of them. . .
