Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........
Durbin is quoting the Tides Foundation.
What the Tides Foundation does ought to be be investigated under the RICO Act.
The Tides Foundation, which is not a foundation but a public charity, funnels money from guilt-ridden rich folks to left and far-left activist causes.
From the donor’s perspective, Tides serves as a beard. It hides the true donor-recipient relationship, which, if revealed, would be an embarrassment to the donor.
From the recipients perspective, Tides serves as a legal and tax-exempt umbrella for a wide variety of leftist, “social change” groups that could never hope to pass the IRS’s tests on their own.
Tides makes a ton of money in the process, taking an 8 percent fee on all monies transferred as pure profit. (The same profit as the evil oil companies).
The guys at ActivistCash.com have an in-depth dossier on the Tides Foundation.
Among the most unbelievable “projects” of the Tides Center is something called the Institute for Global Communications (www.igc.org). IGC is a clearinghouse for Leftist propagandists of all stripes, including living-wage advocates, anti-war protesters, slave-reparations hucksters, and a wide variety of extreme environmentalists.
The Foundation is also a member organization of the International Human Rights Funders Group, that is a network of more than seventy grant-makers who are solely dedicated to financing leftwing groups and causes.
Immediately after 9/11, the Tides formed a “9/11 Fund” to advocate a “peaceful national response.” That fund was replaced by the “Democratic Justice Fund,” financed by George Soros’ Open Society Institute. George Soros has given more than $7 million to Tides over the years. In a quid pro quo, the Tides Foundation is a major funder of the Shadow Party, a devious name for a George Soros’ nationwide network of several dozen unions, non-profit activist groups and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left.
Tides and the Tides folks have established dozens of front organizations — all dedicated to funneling monies to the leftist of the left.
PLEASE don't insult a beautiful, talented singer/actress by equating her with this POS.

“If you think it’s socialist, just drop out”
Thought so ... He wants to pass on the trade. The donks stupid bill even makes it worse for doctors.
So, it won’t survive a pass through SCOTUS (said the same about McCain-Feingold, too!)
