Very interesting. I didn't know this site existed. #17 hummm
I click on most of the names listed on the website and all of the ones I clicked on were democrats. Are there no Republican 527's....???
And the SwiftVets get grief because of a $100,000 donation by Bob Perry. Perry doesn't even make the top 50 on the 527 total donation list.
If you are a Republican and support George Bush be aware that Progressive Insurance is a major contributor to Moveon.org If you have Progressive Insurance you are contributing to that 14 million contribution.
3 things:
1. Print this list out and send it to McCain and Feingold to show them how money has been "taken out of" politics.(/sarcasm)
2. MoveOn.org really rakes it in from the credulous (read: stupid) billionaire group, doesn't it?
3. What is Joint Victory in 2004?
If the GOP doesn't get off the ball and get some major 527s, the last month of the campaign is gonna be dominated by propaganda by Rat organizations.
Amazing, isn't it?
Looks like Kerry's campaign is brought to you by the same guys who want to legalize drugs in the US and have been floating all those legalize drug use propositions the last few years.
Cleveland’s Plain Dealer newspaper has reported that Lewis was a champion of marijuana law reform in the United States as one of three financial backers to a $5million television advertising campaign in 1998 which pushed for the legalisation of cannabis for medicinal use.

Just sickening, and they squeal because of a measly 100,000 donation to the SwiftVets? This should be in hand whenever the Dims start their talking points.
And they call themselves the Party of the "average man".
If I am not mistaken, these top 5 are all HARD FAR LEFT!
Too bad these idiots that speak for so much supposed good won't just take their millions and:
- fund some homeless people or
- fund some homeless people project or
- create a business that makes environment-friendly cars or
- create a cleaner running factory or
- DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY WANT ALL OF US TO PAY FOR!!!!!
I would love to tell all of these hippy tree-huggers to be good examples and donate all of their profits. If they are not willing to do that, SHUT THE HELL UP!
George Soros is even worse in his goal to legalize all type of drugs.
Joint Victory Campaign 2004 is a joint fund-raising committee run by America Coming Together and the Media Fund. Money raised by JVC is divided between these two beneficiaries.
