So, I looked up about the group who put on the Add for Craigs list and found out that the Director of citizen outreach for the group is one 'Ed Johnson'.. So I did some investigation and found out that he is tied in with Moveon. org. Check this information I found from this web site,
MoveOn PAC
| Campaign Director |
Ed Johnson |
>On Election Day, MoveOn PAC set up hospitality tents near hundreds of polling places. Citing reports of MoveOn activists operating within 100 feet of polling places, the Minnesota Republican Party sought unsuccessfully to obtain a temporary restraining order against the group. MoveOn PAC's Eli Pariser issued this statement from Washington, DC:
A Hennepin County, Minnesota court this afternoon threw out a Republican request for a temporary restraining order against MoveOn PAC for lack of evidence.Republican witnesses were unable to testify under oath that any of the volunteers involved in an alleged incident within 100 feet of the polls were associated with MoveOn PAC. Both witnesses, it turned out, were volunteers for the Minnesota Republican Party. The judge found that they were not credible.
"This supports our contention that this was a harassment lawsuit, not based on facts," explained Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn PAC. "It's purpose was to make news today to suppress voter turnout, and build a false record to use for any possible voter challenges."
"Republicans have been smearing MoveOn all year," Pariser continued. "This is nothing new. It's their modus operandi. Early results today tend to suggest that the American public is not falling for lies and smears."
This guy has been a party activist involved with moveon.org for quite some time./\
