There is a new 527 with an interesting sounding name!
http://www.moveonforamerica.org/
The first ad will expose John Kerry’s role in securing freedom and parole for would-be cop killer who escaped a Massachusetts prison during a furlough, just like Willie Horton!!!MoveOnForAmerica.org was created due to the Bush campaign’s largely timid ads against Mr. Kerry, and will air this first ad starting Tuesday Sept. 7th in the Washington D.C. market and in key swing states beginning Monday September 13th. Since the organization is a “non-connected” committee, the ads will run non-stop until Election Day, and are not subject to the McCain-Feingold ban during the campaign’s final 60 days.
The first ad will feature John Kerry’s role as a private attorney in 1982, when he secured freedom and parole for his client George Reissfelder who pled guilty to attempted murder of a police officer, bur never served his 15-year sentence because Kerry successfully secured his parole. The parole was in Florida because Mr. Kerry’s client had escaped during a furlough, just like Willie Horton. Once a free man, thanks to John Kerry, Kerry’s would-be cop killer client brazenly continued his life of crime as part of a Mafia-controlled drug ring.
The second ad, which will be aired at a later date CLICK HERE TO VIEW (or "right click, then "save target as") will feature the political alliance John Kerry has forged with Al Sharpton, focusing on Mr. Sharpton’s history, which was rarely mentioned during his 2004 run for president. Instead of the charismatic and witty Sharpton seen during his presidential bid, Americans will be educated about the real Al Sharpton, who recently blamed America for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Sharpton who called Adolph Hitler “a great man”; the Sharpton who urged college students to kill police officers; and the Sharpton leading the picketing of a white-owned store in Harlem [calling the Jewish owner a ‘white interloper”], resulting in the store being burned down by one of Sharpton’s followers, killing seven people. The ad will include footage of Sharpton in his own words, and Mr. Kerry’s hinting of Shartpon becoming part of a Kerry administration.
Later ads will feature John Kerry’s raising political funds from known leaders of the Cali drug cartel, as well as other unethical [and possibly criminal] behavior by Kerry regarding his finances when he was dead broke between his two marriages.
MoveOnForAmerica.Org is a group of citizens created by its president, DC-based GOP political consultant Stephen Marks. Specializing in opposition research and media, Mr. Marks has consulted dozens of candidates at all levels from presidential to congressional, including consulting for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the Republican Governors Association. Mr. Marks has also been a press secretary in GOP campaigns [including Jeb Bush’s bid for governor in 1994], as well as an investigative journalist for such publications as Penthouse and New York Newsday. Mr. Marks also currently hosts The Stephen Marks Show heard weekly on KFNX Radio in Phoenix, and has appeared regularly on TV and radio, including The O’Reilly Factor, and Hannity & Colmes. Mr. Marks’ created TV ads in 2000 spotlighting Al Gore’s record, and now in 2004, Mr. Marks and MoveOnForAmerica.org. will do the same with John Kerry on a much larger scale.

Just thinking now, of a great ad.
Via an ad, bring to attention Kerry's vote to stop the death penalty for terrorists. Perhaps ending with the question whether kerry is tough enough to stand up to the terrorists.
Despite the legitimate point the ad may be trying to make, is bringing up Willie Horton again in an ad the smartest move?
Yikes. The first ad is absolutely horrible. Harping on Kerry acting as a private attorney and securing parole for his client is not going to hurt Kerry in any way, shape or form and might even help him due to its sheer silliness. That he was a lt.gov. of Furlough Mike says very little. Then to point out that Kerry's _private_ law client resumed a life of crime is just useless. Finally, showing Horton's big, ugly mug again, in 2004, is worse than useless -- it's like handing a big wrapped gift to the Kerry campaign.
My first reaction to seeing the first ad was that it must be some sort of plant by Kerry supporters.
The second ad is not that bad, but, alas, I just don't think people care that much. Personally I think it should be a huge deal that Kerry embraces Sharpton, but it's not and it won't be.
Let's leave the 527s to the Swift Boat Vets and support them to the hilt. They are a fantastic, genuine story. They ooze grassroots, which people love. Show anybody a graph comparing Moveon.org spending/budget to the Swifties organization and _that_ is powerful.
Pushing with other 527s, especially those with spurious claims, is going to backfire. At this point people just don't like 527s. And a new 527 whose website's front page ends with the following is going to suffer -- rightly or wrongly -- an enormous backlash:
"MoveOnForAmerica.Org is a group of citizens created by its president, DC-based GOP political consultant Stephen Marks.

These guys look like a Dem. 527 running a pseudo-Republican ads. Look at the first video, it's a stretch at best and comes of as an act of despiration. There is no way in hell those ads should be run.
I'm thinking this is satire.
I'd like a couple of nation wide ads of Kerry meeting with the enemy in Paris Illegally I might ad, there are pictures of this meeting...use them against him.
These are as juvenile as Move On's ads.
Check out the John F. Kerry Timeline. Email it to your friends.
.
I know I saw one on TV but it's been awhile ago...wonder if you can get into that vietnam war hero museum, if they have a site, bet their are pictures there of it.
Knowing Kerry he would probably want to give the terrorists weekend furloughs.
I'm confused about the whole Paris thing. How many different times did he go there? The timeline mentions May 1970, then later says (in the Summer 1971 entry) he went in 1971. How many times did he go to Paris and specifically meet with VC or NV reps?
Another thing that strikes me about the timeline: for a guy who "resigned" from the VVAW, he sure represented them an awful lot for the next few years.
Here is what I've been able to piece together. Kerry definitely went to meet with the NV in 1970. He admitted this in his April 22, 1971 testimony in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is in the Congressional Record. Nicosia found a mention of a 1971 meeting in the FBI files he acquired. (And Newt Gingrich alluded to a third meeting we'll hear about.) We'll wait and see.
Kerry said he resigned from the VVAW, now the explanation is that he resigned from the Executive Committee or such. He did represent VVAW for months after he so-called resigned.
Considering Kerry's flip-flops, I'm sure there is a lot that confuses most of us.
Thank you.
I thought I'd heard something about a third meeting! Can't wait to get the details.
I'm astonished to no end that someone who actually met with VC/NV leaders in a foreign country (France) at a time when he was still a member of the US military (reserve or otherwise, makes no diff to me) is running for POTUS. In my opinion, this should be the single most damning thing about Kerry. All of the swiftie stuff is also interesting and damning but _should_ pale in comparison.
Thanks for the very useful timeline. And my point about Kerry going on to represent the VVAW was definitely meant as a poke at him, not a questioning of the timeline itself. Flippety flop.
It's interesting that this memo from the director was sent because of concerns that "the tempo of VVAW activities has been increasing with several developments of direct concern to the FBI's responsibilities in the internal security field." The various memos around this time seem to make it clear that the VVAW was being infiltrated.
I'm in complete agreement.
Another thing that is bothering me is the history Kerry has of leaking information to the press. This has come out in several stories, from when he was Assistant DA in Middlesex County, MA to the Iran-Contra scandal. If someone did a good investigation, we might find out that much of the disinformation that came in the the Reagan-Bush era came from John Kerry's office. Probably too hard to prove, but the method of operation is there.
(Just in case anyone is following this...) page 230 of that same PDF quotes Kerry himself saying on 8/25/71 that he had "just returned" from Paris, where he met with delegates of the peace conference.
Wonderful. Kerry virtually acted as a spokesperson for the NV: "he indicated that as far as the North Vietnamese are concerned, 'Everything is on the table,' and that if the United States would set a definite date for the withdrawal of troops, the prisoners of war would be released and negotiations could start. He characterized the Nixon administration as 'absolutely immoral, and intends to play out the war.'"
