Soros/SEIU The Fund for America 527
George Soros, SEIU Each Contribute $2,500,000 to The Fund for America, a Recently Formed Pro-Democratic 527 Group

George Soros, SEIU Each Contribute $2,500,000 to The Fund for America, a Recently Formed Pro-Democratic 527 Group
In a report filed on January 31, 2007 with the Internal Revenue Service, The Fund for America, a recently formed pro-Democratic 527 group, reported receiving total contributions of $6,750,000 for the period from November 6, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
The contributions included $2,500,000 from billionaire George Soros, $2,500,000 from the labor union SEIU and $1,000,000 from Donald Sussman, President of Trust Assets Management, LLP.
The Fund for America was formed in November 2007 by Rob McKay, President of the McKay Family Foundation and a Taco Bell heir, Anna Burger, Secretary-Treasurer of SEIU, and John Podesta, President of Center for American Progress and a former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton.
McKay and Burger are also the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Democracy Alliance, a group of wealthy progressive donors that provide financial support to think tanks and advocacy groups.
The Fund for America is expected to be the leading 527 group making expenditures to support the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2008 presidential election.
It is the successor group to two 527 groups, ACT and The Media Fund, that played the same role for the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2004 presidential election and are no longer functioning.
George Soros provided more than $19,000,000 and SEIU provided $5,000,000 to support the efforts made by ACT and The Media Fund in the 2004 presidential race, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Three years after the 2004 presidential election, the FEC found in 2007 that ACT and The Media Fund made massive illegal expenditures to influence the 2004 presidential election.
The FEC found that ACT made $100,000,000 in illegal expenditures and The Media Fund made $53,000,000 in illegal expenditures in the 2004 presidential race. The FEC, however, imposed relatively minimal fines on each of the groups, equal to one percent or less of the total amount of their massive violations.

Soros Funding Obama?
Samantha
Feb 25, 2008
A little research turned up the interesting fact if you connect the dots that Obama is being financed by George Soros through Moveon.org. Now it makes sense where Obama is getting his money in such large numbers. How much of his donations are being funneled through Moveon.org members from overseas?
If you hear any Republican saying Obama wouldn't be so bad, then hand them this. Soros is working to tank the dollar and see America fail so who does he support? OBAMA! They might want to ask why? More to come in the days ahead about why Obama would be costly for America as President.
MoveOn.org is but one agency of international financier George Soros, from which it has received millions of dollars. Soros, who calls the United States a danger to world peace and blames Israel for anti-Semitism, wants to subordinate the United States to the United Nations or some other international government.
Most of what anti-Semites say about ZOG (the so-called Zionist Occupied Government) is true of SOG (the Soros Occupied Government). SOG is like a world-spanning octopus whose tentacles reach into numerous governments and non-governmental organizations. Rebecca Peters' IANSA (International Action Network on Small Arms), ACT (America Coming Together), and the Tides Foundations are but a few of the other tentacles of the Soros-Occupied Government.
Any politician like Bob Casey (D-PA), Ned Lamont (D-CT), John Kerry (D-MA), or Bill Nelson (D-FL) who accepts MoveOn's money and support must be suspected of serving two masters: George Soros and the United States. One cannot serve George Soros and remain a loyal citizen of the United States.

Obama Thanks You!
POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Satire with a lot of truth)
BY SEN. BARACK Hussein OBAMA (D- ILL)
My fellow Identity-Americans: As your future president I want to thank my supporters, for their... well, support. Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.
I would also like to thank the Kennedys for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King Jr. and Teddy killed a teenage girl. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.
I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
Americans are tired of thinking.
It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.
So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think, just do.
And do it for me.
Thank You.

North endorses McCain; Farrakhan endorses Obama
http://www.collinsreport.net/
February 25th, 2008
By John F. Allen
Saying John McCain is the only candidate that wants to win the war on terror retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North has endorsed the Republican front runner. Col. North, a man who has been to Iraq more times than any politician, warned of the serve consequences of a loss in this battle with those who want to murder Americans.
As an American, a Marine and a most knowledgeable observer, North has stepped forward to support the safety of America. He recognizes the danger we are in and the best course of action to win out over terrorists. He is a conservative who sees national security as the central issue of the election.
Given the chance, the Islamist terrorists would capture and torture Oliver North to death, even before they would turn to us.
By contrast, Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan has endorsed Barrack Obama.
Should the same terrorists ever gain control of America they would recognize “Brother Farrakhan” as a hero.
Farrakhan’s endorsement came during a speech in which he favorably compared Barrack Obama to the founder of the Nation of Islam.
Farrakhan has called Jews and other Americans bloodsuckers, but he is more widely noted for calling Jedaism a “gutter religion.”
Minister Farrakhan lauded Barrack Obama as a young man that will change America and make America better.
The NOI is known for recruiting from inside the worst prisons in America and elsewhere. Richard Reid and Malcolm X come to mind.
The United States Marine Corps recruits patriotic Americans, some who fight and die for our freedoms and some who are awarded Medals of Honor.
Those who hate John McCain enough to join Farrakhan in supporting Barrack Obama by voting for him or staying home to help me win, will have to reconcile these few basic facts for themselves.

Clinton Aide Compares Obama to Jesse Jackson
February 25, 2008, 11:12 am
Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race.
Despite the backlash against President Clinton when he compared the candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama to that of Rev. Jesse Jackson after the South Carolina primary, a top Clinton adviser evoked that comparison again today.
Long-time Democratic National Committee member Harold Ickes, who served as deputy chief of staff for President Clinton and is a top aide to Sen. Hillary Clinton, made the comparison at a breakfast with reporters today when asked if he thinks stretching the Democratic primary on for three more months will hurt the Democrats in a general election.
“We have two really strong and very good candidates. This party has been blessed … to have a woman who, I think will be the next president of the United States [and] to have a powerful spokesman in the form of Sen. Obama and he is, that’s one of the reasons I supported Jesse Jackson in 19894 and 1988, I thought we needed a strong, powerful candidate, a black candidate, running for president,” Ickes said.
Indeed, Ickes did work on Jackson’s presidential bids. But the comparison is a sensitive subject for voters, who felt President Clinton’s comment comparing Obama’s decisive South Carolina win to that of Jackson was inappropriate and racially charged.
Some say the comment could have contributed to some of his wife’s losses in the February races. Ickes repeatedly told reporters that he does not feel the race is over, despite Clinton losing 11-straight contests to Obama. When asked whether she should withdraw her candidacy so that the Democratic Party can focus on beating the Republicans in November, Ickes gave a strong “no.”
“We don’t think we’ve reached that point,” he said. “There’s always a drumbeat by the front-runner of ‘Oh, we’ve got to shut it down, we’ve got to close it off, we’ve got to get on with the business of taking on the other side.’ But my view is if you look at the closeness of where we are today, compared to elections of the past, all of which I’ve participated in some shape or form since 1968, I just don’t think we’re anywhere close to that and I think we ought to let it go further down the line.”
Clinton will give a foreign-policy speech today in Washington, followed by a fund-raiser. On Tuesday she will meet Obama in Cleveland for their final one-on-one debate before the four March 4 nominating contests in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Will Sen Obama stand with Muslims?
Samantha
Feb 25, 2008
What do we know about Barak Obama?
In a passage from his book "Audacity of Hope" Senator Obama says he would "stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" is an extremely troubling comment. From another of Obama's books, "Dreams of My Father" a passage reads: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." What do these mean?
If Obama's books are an insight into how he would govern, then the voters of this Country need to take a 2nd and 3rd look at this man who may become the Democrat candidate. Are the American voters willing to turn over the keys to the White House to someone with so little track record who writes in his own books he will "stand with the Muslims" or his animosity against the white race of his mother?
He speaks fluently with a teleprompter but what does he really say? Without a teleprompter, he becomes another Bush bashing Democrat.
Obama is supported by Moveon.org which is now supported by George Soros. Does that mean that Soros will be pulling the strings of Obama? Do we want to turn the White House over to a puppet of Soros? Did Soros donate money in Africa to get Oprah to endorse Obama? Why support Obama and not Hillary?
These questions and more need answered about a candidates whose wife, Michelle, says, "“People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” What do the Obama's really think of America and what Change would they want for this Country? The picture of Obama not putting his hand over his heart or wearing a flag pin is very telling.
Are members of the media going to ask the tough questions of Barack and Michelle Obama or is it going to be up to the Internet community to inform the public about Obama? My money is on the latter.
