A new report lays out how liberal nonprofits are funneling millions to Democratic governors to further their agenda. This not only brings up legal concerns, but also raises questions whether this represents “government for hire.” Democratic governors want to mobilize $50 million a year by 2020 for their climate policy agenda.

Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown’s upcoming global warming activist summit is part of an effort to funnels millions of dollars from nonprofits to state politicians to advance a liberal climate agenda, according to a new report.

Brown’s so-called “Global Climate Action Summit” begins Wednesday and is sure to garner media attention. Its list of speakers includes former Vice President Al Gore, actor Alec Baldwin and former Secretary of State John Kerry. Indeed, the whole point of the summit is to give politicians and activists a platform on global warming ahead of the November elections.

However, Competitive Enterprise senior fellow Chris Horner wants people to remember one thing about the summit: “this is what activist government for hire looks like, and how it is brought about.”

Any possibility that tax dollars from grants are included in this bribery, uh, I mean research funding.

[Boomer]

Wouldn't it be great if those illegal bribes could be confiscated and put into the US Treasury general fund?

Leftists be like...

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

yes, of course there are.

They should immediately lose their ‘non-profit’ status.

I am amazed at the number of kids coming out of schools thinking they want to “work for a non-profit’.

I ask them who will pay them?

They all seem to want big bucks, so non-profit for everyone else except them, I guess.

This is nothing new. In 1953/54 there was the Reece Commission on Large Tax-Exempt Foundations. Tax-Exempt foundations like the Carnegie Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Guggenheim Fellowship, etc have been trying (and are succeeding) since 1909 to make America into a collectivist society that can one day be merged with Russia (the exact words of Carnegie Foundation President Johnson in 1953 (whom succeeded Alger Hiss)). Actually, I think this just means that they wanted a one-world government.

They purposely set out at the beginning, in 1913 or so, to keep America at war and to change the way education was taught.

Here is an interview taken in the 1980s with Norman Dodd, the lead investigator of the majority on the Reece Commission.

Yup. Not to mention some of the ‘titans’ that supported eugenics too. Just making the world a better place right?

[antidemoncrat]

“raises questions whether this represents “government for hire.””

Bill and Hillary can take credit for starting that years ago.

[Vic S]

They still support eugenics, except now they call it planned parenthood and genetic research.

[rktman]

Yup. Dang bothersome tissue masses.

[SMARTY]

research funding?

Yup-That goes without saying. BS Research drives the whole thing. Do you think these biased, lazy, academic windbags will give up their cushy jobs and princely income?

Not the longest day you live!!

Not one of them could get a job in the ‘real world’ ... trust me on that one.

[Little Ray]

Money is fungible. Any grant money enables these political contributions.

[headstamp 2]

There’s money to be made wielding government like a club.

Easy fix: No donation, of any shape, matter, form or kind, from ANY entity, that is not eligible to vote.

Too much common sense.
