Hey, punk.... ; ^ )

It would make my day... if somebody could find out if kerry's wife tereza's group TIDES funds any of these functions or organizations?

Kerry's wife's foundations provided $4.3 million to the Tides Foundation, a "portal" operation through which money flows to a variety of leftist groups, including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center, which is the force behind International ANSWER, which sponsored the major antiwar (and anti-Bush) rallies before the invasion of Iraq. When ANSWER was outed as a Communist organization, United for Peace and Justice, headed by longtime Communist Party member Leslie Cagan was created as a "moderate" alternative.
