Just looks like somebody is trying to run damage control to me.

Follow the money...looks like the boycott campaign against Heinz is working.

Heinz Kerry's foundation money was directed to projects such as "Sustainable Pittsburgh," which promotes "smart growth" strategies.

Supporting "Smart Growth" (i.e. denying landowners fair use of their property) is just as bad as supporting the Islamofacists through the Tides Foundation. I'd like to see her and her family squeezed into a tiny urban apartment and forced to use mass transit. Typical limousine liberal nonsense - we're too good for how we want "little" people to live.

Well here is the Tides Foundation's latest 990 form;

http://www.tidesfoundation.org/documents/Form990_2003_TF.pdf

Look through it they gave money to the National Lawyer's Guild, an old communist front group still plugging along.

Other then that it is the normal range of Leftist causes, but I leave it to others to find if they are laundering dollars to terrorists, which is hardly unlikely.

Looking through some other years, they *have* given money to terrorists directly.

Most notably in 2000 to Friends of the Earth - an enviroterrorist group.

Plus .. early on the Heinz Foundation stipulated THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN. That was a lie! There were staffers with Heinz Foundation who were proven to be working for the Kerry campaign.

I don't believe anything these people say!

Tides Foundation funds a group called Rukus! These are the sweet darlings who trashed Seattle's downtown during the WTO meetings.

The Tides Foundation also says that no Heinz funds have gone to any of the groups named in the e-mail.

Does this asshole think that we are not aware that money is fungible?

Here is the real info on Mr. Heinz' wife:

Following is a brief background on Mrs. John Kerry. She hates being called
that, by the way:

Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry. Married Senator Kerry
in
1995. She only took his name eighteen months ago and she is an
"interesting"
paradox of conflicts.

If you thought John Kerry was scary, he doesn't hold a candle to his wife!
Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique,
the daughter of a Portuguese physician, was educated in Switzerland and
South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was working as a United Nations
interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a "handsome" young
American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in Geneva. He told her
his family was "in the food business."

They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran
the giant H. J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the US House of
Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first of three
terms in the United States Senate. A Republican, he wrote a burning
diatribe
against some of the causes backed by young House member John Kerry.)

Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided with a
Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb. The senator, his
pilot and copilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed. He was
survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.

Four years later, having inherited Heinz's $500 million fortune, she
married
Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal then-junior senator from
Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of her
radicalization was set in motion.

Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign
a prenuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have
check writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he is
certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it.

A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup,
mustard, and pickles has fallen into the hands of two people who despise
successful entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory
redistribution of wealth.

So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money?

Just one example:

According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of
WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million
to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides
Foundation do with John Heinz's money?

They support numerous antiwar groups, including Ramsey Clark's
International
Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried.

They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides
Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice
Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist"
states.

They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are
known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.

They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front
during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been
arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with
terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind
of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary
goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to
Mexico.

These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the
anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our
would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz,
and
now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th
President of the United States.

Aiding and supporting our enemies is not good for America, regardless of
your political views.

If voters will open their eyes, educate themselves and see the real
Teresa Heinz Kerry, they will not appreciate her position as ultra rich
fairy godmother of the radical left. They will not want to imagine her
laying her head on a pillow each night inches away from the President of
the United States.

Hopefully they love this country enough to decide that the only way these
two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved
invitation in hand.

Instead of deleting this, pass it on. Let everyone know these people may be
unfit to represent this great nation. The uninformed will never hear the
truth from the press, who want Kerry elected!

Those who buy the Kerry facade, beware of what you vote for - - - you
may regret what you get!

King: Neither she nor her foundations has ever funded any of the extremist organizations or unpatriotic causes listed in the email you forwarded. Period."

But the interpretation of "extremist organizations or unpatriotic causes" is in the eye of the beholder. Heinz and Kerry think "extremist and unpatriotic" describes CONSERVATIVE organizations, which, as King states, they would EVER fund.

As George Costanza once wisely said, "It isn't a lie if you believe it!"

That's what I always say. Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting to see Kerry's annulment.

Lovie Heinz has already threatened to buy the presidency for Kerry if she sees any 'negative campaigning' by the republicans. She's delusional. She could spend every cent of her three billion and she'd end up broke and still married to Kerry the loser. Her money's protected in Swiss banks and the Cayman Islands, etc., but we're keeping an eye on any Buddhist temple fund raisers she decides to throw.
