But, like someone said on another thread today, when you have the truth on your side, you don't need a lot of money.
Note to self:
1. Cancel car insurance
2. Write letter to agent explaining the "boss" of his company is an idiot and that I don't do business with liberals pieces of America-hating scum.
3. Drive slow until I can get State Farm.
I have been in the securities business for many years - if any one invidual controlled more than 5% of a company, it had to be disclosed and he also would be deemed a control person (if he were a founder on the board or an officer.) If any of these "independent" individuals has contributed more than 5% of the assets of a 527 and was an officer, director or 5% contributor of any other 527, then he should be considered as a matter of fact a control person and the entities related. Where is the f**king press on this matter...does not the so-call independent, hard-charging, investigatory press have any professionalism left?
Yeah, but are any of them Texas Republicans?
The top 3 on that list, Lewis/Soros/Bing, are definitely big liberals. Their contributions alone are more than the rest of the list combined.
Top Contributors to 527 Committees, 2004 Election Cycle
These are the organizations that have contributed the most money to 527 groups that filed disclosure reports with the IRS. Unlimited soft money contributions to 527s may come from the treasuries of corporations and labor unions, which cannot give money directly to federal candidates and parties.

OK, that's all for now. It's kind of a pain in the butt to cut and paste these, though Firefox makes it easier than I.
But you can click on them yourself and see that the vast majority are liberal donors.

You provide us a good notice of who to not do business with. My list is small but growing.

That's it on the top 20, it looks like
