Billionaire Soros takes on Bush
Ousting president ‘central focus of my life,’ he says

snip

NEW YORK, Nov. 11 —  George Soros, one of the world’s richest
men, has given away nearly $5 billion to promote democracy in
the former Soviet bloc, Africa and Asia. Now he has a new
project: defeating President Bush.

“IT IS THE central focus of my life,” Soros said, his blue
eyes settled on an unseen target. The 2004 presidential race,
he said in an interview, is “a matter of life and death.”
Soros, who has financed efforts to promote open societies in
more than 50 countries around the world, is bringing the fight
home, he said. On Monday, he and a partner committed up to $5
million to MoveOn.org, a liberal activist group, bringing to
$15.5 million the total of his personal contributions to oust
Bush.

He's walking his talk, then. He wants democracy back right here in the USA.

4. Bush is giving Democracy a bad name.
I think we should E-mail Soros and hit him up for a contribution. Also we should offer suggestions as to where he may most effectivly spend his money to defeat Bush. Also, I hope he is careful about the airplanes he rides in.
