So we can expect the jackbooted thugs from the FEC to descend upon Fresno and silence FR during elections?

If I ever hear that FR has been silenced by the government then it will have ceased to be my government.

Thanks! This is an incredible story re George $oreA$$ and his continual battle against America.

He is up to his billions in the murdering of Terri.

Overthrowing an abusive or tyrannical government in order to restore the Constitution is why we have a Second Amendment.

I'd hope that it won't come to that, but if no one stands up to say they are willing and ready to fight to protect their rights then someone will inevitably try to take those rights.

Before it is over, we will see the dirty handiwork of $oreA$$ financing: terrorism, eugenics, legalized drugs, abortion, enviral whackos, illegal aliens, illegal voters, the Nag gang, the ACLU and any other group to help weaken America.

The New York Post reports that, from 1994 to 2004, Pew and its allies dispensed $140 million to promote campaign finance "reform," of which 88 percent – a cool $123 million – came from just eight foundations, as follows: Pew Charitable Trusts ---------------------- $40.1 million Schumann Center for Media and Democracy ------------------ $17.6 million Carnegie Corporation of New York ------ $14.1 million Joyce Foundation ---------------------------- $13.5 million George Soros' Open Society Institute ---------------------- $12.6 million Jerome Kohlberg Trust ---------------------- $11.3 million Ford Foundation ------------------------------- $8.8 million John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation ------------------------ $5.2 million Recipients of this money included the Center for Public Integrity: the William J. Brennan Center for Justice; Democracy 21 and many more.

This reads like a list of the sponsors of National "leftist" Radio.

Good article.

Dave, as I recall, Pew was run by Andy Kohut- you used to see him on C-Span once in a while. While not of the thuggish Clintonista mold, he was definitely a left-winger.

Liberal trusts lying & cheating in order to push through unpopular changes, big surprise here. NOT!

Regulate the trusts - we need anti-trust legislation for trusts.

I don't know the answer there.

However, I have a feeling that once these guys got to the top of one of these phoney non profits financed by $oreA$$, they would move from NGO to NGO when $oreA$$ asked them to.

Leftwing media organizations such as National Public Radio and American Prospect magazine also received payment in exchange for pushing "campaign finance reform." For more information on Pewgate corruption in media, see "Pewgate: Leftwing Journalists on the Take."

Most of those are bigtime gun grabbers. Soros, Joyce, MacArthur, and Kohlberg I know of for sure. Pew and Ford do other Leftist groups.

reveals that a group of non-profit foundations, including the Pew Charitable Trusts and George Soros' Open Society Institute, bankrolled an array of front groups whose purpose was to deceive Congress into thinking that millions of their constituents across America were clamoring for Terri's death

Look forward to this headline soon.
