Very interesting. I didn't know this site existed. #17 hummm
I click on most of the names listed on the website and all of the ones I clicked on were democrats. Are there no Republican 527's....???
If you are a Republican and support George Bush be aware that Progressive Insurance is a major contributor to Moveon.org If you have Progressive Insurance you are contributing to that 14 million contribution.
3 things:
1. Print this list out and send it to McCain and Feingold to show them how money has been "taken out of" politics.(/sarcasm)
2. MoveOn.org really rakes it in from the credulous (read: stupid) billionaire group, doesn't it?
3. What is Joint Victory in 2004?
If the GOP doesn't get off the ball and get some major 527s, the last month of the campaign is gonna be dominated by propaganda by Rat organizations.
This certainly is eye-opening. Worth emailing to a few folks I know, who will not be happy to receive it...
Can people email the talk shows on this? Seems newsworthy now.
An investigative reporter could really run with this for awhile.
Can someone explain this to me?
Joint Victory Fund is made of the Media Fund and America Coming Together. So if you go to the OpenSecrets.org link and click on "Top 50 Cmtes", the top three are:
1) Joint Victory Fund
2) Media Fund (TMF)
3) America Coming Together (ACT)
The total receipts from these three added together is almost $100 million. Why is the Joint Victory Fund even allowed to exist? Doesn't it seem a little weird that both TMF and ACT are getting multi-millions of funding and then the Joint Victory Fund receives money and then splits it between TMF and ACT. Any illegal activity going on here?
Good Stuff ~ Bump!
Looks to me like an even $35 million is being double counted. $21,800,000 to the Media Fund from JVF 2004 and VF 2004, and $13,200,000 to ACT from these same two.
Just some citizens taking advantage of 'free speech' - political ads. Funny how CFR has worked so well. :)
With all that money they sure aren't getting much bang for their bucks.
