Speaking of 527 groups and MoveOn.org. Please read the following especially the last two sentences! All - A friend of mine is on MoveOn.org email list to follow what the enemy is doing and just received this (30 June). Check out the bottom of the email. This is an obvious coordinated message since the Kerry campaign approved the message (see end of email) which we believe is against the law! What do you think? Isn't this against CFR? Sharon From: "Eli Pariser, MoveOn PAC" Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 14:53:58 To: xxxxxxx Subject: Send Kerry a message before his deadline Tomorrow night marks a critical fundraising deadline for the Kerry campaign. Send him the message that progressives support him and want him to fight for our values by contributing now at: Dear MoveOn member, Fahrenheit 9/11's record-breaking box office sweep this weekend is just the latest indication that times are changing. A new poll released this morning finds President Bush with lower job approval than at any time in his presidency. Thanks to your hard work and inspiring activism, we stand a better chance of firing George Bush than we ever have. This is the moment for us to send Kerry a powerful message, one he'll want to hear. The more we show Kerry that real people with strong, progressive values are key to his success, the more strongly he'll fight for our values as President. Of course, those values include everything from opposing Bush's policy of endless war to making sure our kids have a real chance at success -- through good schools, affordable health care, and a strong economy. Given a critical fundraising deadline tomorrow night, it's an especially good time to reinforce that we value this kind of leadership from John Kerry. Help send this message now by giving to his campaign through the link below, which will track donations from MoveOn PAC members and put a progressive stamp on our funds. https://contribute.johnkerry.com/contribute.html?team=2566 Already, we may have had a dramatic impact, encouraging Kerry to stake out a leadership position. Not long after we called on Kerry to go big, he released a bold new health care plan that would provide coverage for millions of Americans without health care. Just a few short months ago, as the primary season drew to a close, few people thought that John Kerry could match George W. Bush's massive campaign war chest, filled to the brim by Bush Pioneers who each raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from their wealthy friends. We have proven that conventional wisdom wrong. Small donors, hundreds of thousands of us, have helped ensure that John Kerry's campaign to beat George Bush is competitive. And our small donations have helped the Kerry campaign get a strong message out to undecided voters across the country about Bush's failed policies and Kerry's own plans for America's future. Contributions from grassroots activists like us have helped shape the course of the 2004 campaign and have changed political history. We have shown that the average college student, senior citizen, or working person contributing $25 or $50 can have a real impact in a presidential election campaign. And through our dollars, as donors and supporters, we are sending a message about the new direction we want for our country and the kind of progressive message and issues we want John Kerry to emphasize in his campaign, and in his presidency. The next few weeks will be the Kerry campaign's last opportunity to accept and spend individual donations. After he accepts the nomination at the Democratic Convention on July 29th, he is legally obligated to begin the Presidential Public Funding period, and will have approximately $75 million to spend to run his campaign between August and November. After July 29th, his campaign will no longer be allowed to accept or spend individual contributions from the public. Because the Republican Convention begins nearly a full month after the Democratic Convention, George Bush and the Republicans will have an extra month to raise and spend money attacking Kerry. While Kerry will be at a distinct disadvantage in August, contributing today -- and inviting others to join us -- will help minimize the effect. That's why the Kerry campaign needs your help today. If you can, please consider giving $25, $50, $100 or more today at: https://contribute.johnkerry.com/contribute.html?team=2566 Sincerely, --Eli Pariser MoveOn PAC June 29th, 2004 PAID FOR BY MOVEON PAC Authorized by John Kerry for President, Inc.

Sure looks like a violation of CFR to me. My suggestion would be to print it out, save the email in the archives, and report it to the Attorney General (not the state AG), by reporting it to the local US Attorney's office. Also, the FBI is instrumental in investigating and reporting crime, so a call to them might not be a bad idea. And your elected Republicans might also want this information, don't you think? LOL! My last suggestion is to consider taking this to the media; even though it is probably a yawn for them, because there are still some reporters who relish the idea of "breaking" a scandal story.

Thanks so much for keeping me in the loop, even when I'm not able to respond the way I should!

It probably is but the democrats are well known for violating every law known to man with total impunity.

With the minstream media and most judges on their side, who is going to stop them?

Our Nation is in stage two of a communist[socialist] revolution.It progressed rapidly toward socialism and total depravity during the clinton administration. It has been slightly slowed and in the process of being stopped.The socialists are trying to get it back on course. This is what john kerry means when he says he does not like the way the Country is heading.When hillary says that they must get the Country back to where is was.

The mainstream media, the democrats, socialists, communista, gerrns, and environmentalists all envision a United States where the government bureaucrats have total and complete control of the people. They, of course, being the bureaucrats. Where the mention of God is forbidden and punishable by either death or imprisonment. Where every type of sexual act is permitted, no matter how unnatural, perverted, obscene, or degenerate.

As a practitioner before the Federal Election Commission, I agree with your conclusion. The final line, that this is "Authorized by Kerry for President" makes this a felony under the existing laws.

The only out for a solid felony charge for the Kerry Campaign is to say they knew nothing and authorized nothing in advance. There is no out for MoveOn.org They are criminals, if the FEC has the integrity to pursue the matter.

Yep .. it sure looks like a violation to me .. but Moveon.org has done them several times .. A while back a guy speaking for Moveon.org was on Hardball claiming the were endorsing Kerry

Here is what keeps getting my attention ..

What are they going to do with all that money they are collecting after Kerry accepts the nomination??

Also .. I keep hearing how he is spending BIG buck on ads

We keep hearing about how much he has collected .. but I wonder what his finances really look like

The next few weeks will be the Kerry campaign's last opportunity to accept and spend individual donations. After he accepts the nomination at the Democratic Convention on July 29th, he is legally obligated to begin the Presidential Public Funding period, and will have approximately $75 million to spend to run his campaign between August and November. After July 29th, his campaign will no longer be allowed to accept or spend individual contributions from the public

Hmmmm? I heard Kerry got over $140 mil .. so why is he down to $29 mil - which is close to one month's expenses.

Looks like Kerry does need Hillary after all.

This absolutely IS against CFR and Moveon.org needs to be reigned in by the powers that be.

Let's see.....

MoveOn email dated TUESDAY, 29 Jun 2004 indicating a CRITICAL DEADLINE for contributions with a link to the Kerry campaign.

Drudge Reports today:
"Kerry raised more than $3 million online WEDNESDAY, setting a record for single-day Internet fundraising and causing the campaign's computers to crash... Developing..."

ALSO....Carl Cameron, Fox, reported that the Kerry campaign won't say how much money they have left, but the campaign will be minus $6 million because Kerry's loan on the house is due. If the campaign doesn't pay the loan before the convention, payment will have to come out of Kerry's pocket.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124468,00.html

Those responding to the CRITICAL DEADLINE have probably just helped pay off a billionaire's house loan!
