Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp and former White House Counsel C. Boyden Gray are joining forces to counter MoveOn.Org and other liberal Democrat groups in the November elections.
Mr. Armey, chairman of Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), and Mr. Kemp, a co-founder of Empower America, are merging their two organizations into FreedomWorks to foster a "freedom agenda."
Billionaire currency speculator George Soros has pledged $15 million to liberal campaign groups, including those known as 527s for the tax-code section that regulates them, seeking to defeat President Bush in November.
"We believe that hard work beats daddy's money," Mr. Armey said. "MoveOn is doing all kinds of high-profile, big-dollar deals with money from George Soros and other rich Democrats."
"We can match that with people on the street who really care about Social Security retirement accounts, tax simplification, smaller government and freedom from frivolous lawsuits," Mr. Armey said.
The merger gives FreedomWorks the CSE membership of 360,000 activists and donors across the country. It also brings Empower America's donor network.

They will get some of my money too! About time is all I can say!
Sounds promising!

They've already got some excellent ads out on TV and radio and are looking to put out many more :-)
Sign me up!
Sound investment in my opinion. Jack Kemp and Dick Army are two steady conservatives. Lets hope they can draw some of the Fortune 500 Companies to contribute to the cause of keeping a flip flopping, UN worshiping, Terrorists appeasing, spineless worm from getting the keys to the White House
I love the smell of Partisan Vitriol in the Morning!
FINALLY the right punches back. Get the word out!
You're still up?, This is one Berger being grilled, that I don't mind witnessing being burnt to a crisp
