Soros Pledges $5 Million for Obama Healtcare Marketing Push
Economic Policy Journal ^ | 8/10/09 | Robert Wenzel

Posted on 08/10/2009 5:58:52 PM PDT by FromLori

Oligarch George Soros is sending a $5 million check to Health Care For America Now, the leading coalition of pro-reform groups, unions and providers, reports Greg Sargent.

Among the 21 members of HCAN's steering committee are ACORN, MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress and the Campaign for America’s Future (CAF).

CAF is another institution that has received funding from Soros and the Rockefeller Family Fund. (The Rockefellers have always been major investors in the pharmaceutical industry, and have always been instrumental in directing legislation in a direction that benefits there pharma investments.)

CAF also pushes for national health care as one means to transform the United States into a European social welfare state. Co-founder Robert Borosage previously served as director of the overtly Marxist Institute for Policy Studies, while co-founder Roger Hickey also co-founded the Economic Policy Institute. Other CAF co-founders include socialist columnist Harold Meyerson, Sixties radical Tom Hayden, socialist feminist Barbara Ehrenreich, Service Employees International Union president Andrew Stern, AFL-CIO president John J. Sweeney, Jesse Jackson, and Julian Bond, Sargent reports.

Combined with AARP’s ads, the ads on Craigslist seeking paid protestors, and now George Soros, the Astroturf issue is conveniently no longer raised.

Soros obviously hates America and is determined to bring it down. I am sure he is set to reap huge profits when he does.
He is Public Enemy #1 as far as I am concerned.

Only $5 million? He must not have much confidence that it can pass, so is only putting down a token amount in a symbolic gesture.

I am amazed that a Jew hasn't taken him out by now, given how he helped Nazis during WWII, and said he doesn't feel at all guilty about it.

He should not be on this planet except behind bars or 6 feet under.

Guy is PURE EVIL and will reap the financial profits he will get off the backs of hundreds of million's. He has done it with many countries already and the USA is his, in words "His greatest accomplishment"!

I am sure that the Sept 2008 run on the US banking system was him and his cronies doing.

At times like these, this video seems quite appropriate so we remember what evil is:

You can hire a lot of union thugs for that much money. Has anyone asked why George Soros cares sooooooo much about health care?

Only $5 million?

The people they hire for their "rent a crowds" don't cost that much ... most are unemployed young people, street bums, and union thugs. Most make minimum wage...

The people they hire for their "rent a crowds" don't cost that much ... most are unemployed young people, street bums, and union thugs. Most make minimum wage... ( and they DON'T get health care from their "employers"... ) Yeah, these people really care about the poor getting health care...

President Obama’s top priority for Congress is health care reform. Insurance companies are spending over a million dollars a day lobbying against the reform, while feeding myths and fears to America. It will take the same grassroots energy that got Obama elected to see the change we voted for. Our work isn’t over. Build support for health care reform with U.S. PIRG. Mobilize activists to cut the cost of health care, expand coverage, and stop sick from getting dropped by insurance companies. Go out in your community and make change happen. Make friends and money along the way. Earn $400-$600 per week. To apply for a job, call Chris at 612-331-1434.

Just what I was thinking. The Dems can have that spent in about a week or so....then what are they going to do?
