Editor’s Note: Details of the WFB’s Democracy Alliance exposé can be found here.
A leading voice in the world of liberal foundations has a side project funding the left-wing billionaire’s club known as the Democracy Alliance, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Judith Avery, who serves as chair of the $24 million Durfee Fund and president of the $38 million Baytree Fund, is also a member of the secretive network of Democratic millionaires and billionaires.
Avery’s father, R. Stanton Avery, invented stickers and turned the product into a multi-billion dollar industry. He founded the Durfee Foundation, named for his wife Dorothy Durfee Avery, in 1960, to pursue the type of progress he witnessed during the early days of China’s communist revolution. Avery inherited her father’s ideology, along with his considerable wealth. She has donated more than $245,000 to Democratic candidates since 2008, including donations of $30,000 to two liberal super PACs and $25,000 to George Soros’ secretive Secretary of State Project in 2008.

Ah good. Now one more slime that finances the slime has a face and a name ...
Wonder if Obuma would say...She didn’t earn that money!
And one more company/industry to whom I will never pay another dime.
Target
Progressive
Costco
Hollywood (any first-run movie)
Avery or Avery Dennison
GM
Citgo
Caribou Coffee
Pepsi
In 2010, the foundations headed by Avery donated $25,000 to Planned Parenthood, $75,000 to the Tides Foundation, $90,000 to Media Matters, and $80,000 to the Rockefeller Foundation.
Under her leadership, the Baytree Fund also pumped $230,000 into the Center for American Progress between 2005 and 2008, as well as $145,000 into Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a former Alliance-sponsored organization that files ethics charges against Republican lawmakers. They pledged further contributions in the future, including a $150,000 grant to Media Matters.
What I don’t get is: how is this money laundering between and among ‘foundations’ legal?
what is Costco up to? and Pepsi? I must have missed that.
Costco CEO and founder Jim Sinegal is an ultra-lib and Obamanoid.
However, the Costco business model -- to simplify -- seems to be to take shareholder equity and give it to the employees and customers. I wouldn't invest a dime in the company, but if he's going to be giving stupid investor's money away, sure, I'll take some!
(He is 76 and appears to make very generous use of his company's products. I'm unsure as to how long he'll be running the company. Probably not 20 more years.)

Oops, Pepsi is off the list. They were using aborted fetal stem cells in their research, but no longer:

Costco’s management have long been BIG time supporters of anything DNC.
A much more extensive list:
