But who were the move-on.org's sponsors?

And WHY did McCain come with this stupid scheme in the first place?

And WHY are these groups tax-deductible?

They are not tax-deductible.

However, most groups have several different corporations with similiar names. MoveOn has a PAC, a c4 and a 527.

I'm almost positive that contributions to a 527 organization are not tax-deductible for the donor.

Mc Cain came up with this scheme so we could have more senitive elections. Elections where the truth could not come out about encombants. He bought in to all the crap that Taxocrats were ready to leave all the Chi-com money out of our elections.

McCain is a fool!

The MoveOn family of organizations consists of three entities. MoveOn.org, a 501(c)(4) organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues. MoveOn PAC, a federal PAC, primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values. And MoveOn.org Voter Fund, a 527 organization, primarily educates voters on the positions, records, views, and qualifications of candidates for public office.

I believe the 527 section of the tax code existed before McCain's Campaign Finance Reform was passed. McCain didn't expect the pubbie chairman of the Federal Election Commission to believe in the 1st Amendment.

Besides Soros, another bigwig is Peter Lewis from Progressive Insurance, IIRC. But there are plenty of other left-wing big-shots donating. Tax-deductibility is determined by Congress or the IRS.

In answer to your questions, we know who the sponsors of MoveOn.org are. The lamestream media are hiding that info because they are bigots for the left.

McCain came up with this stupid scheme because he wanted "to make his mark on national policy" and he's incapable of thinking the subject to its logical conclusions.

My understanding is that these organizations are NOT tax-deductible.
