PFAVoterFund is paying for tons of Pro-Bush ads on CNN

Who is behind PFA VoterFund?

from www.pfavoterfund.com's own web site, there's this:


About PFA VoterFund

The liberal politicians are working overtime to push their failed policies on America and distort the accomplished public policy records of conservative leaders across this nation.  Everyday their campaigns engage in double-speak designed to bring us back to the days of tax-and-spend, government-knows-best policies.  These policies thwart the ability of American families to keep more of what they earn and provide a safe environment for educating their children and growing the economy.


Progress for America Voter Fund ("PFA-VF") is a conservative issue advocacy organization dedicated to keeping the issue record straight on the campaign trail and serving as a "Political Truth Squad".


Here are the goals of the PFA-VF media campaign:


Level the playing field on ads — it may not be possible out raise even George Soros alone, but the PFA Voter Fund must try to reduce the lopsided advertising advantage the Democratic 527s have on the campaign trail today .

1. About PFA , Their Morons................
Here's how I see it:

The Dollar is in a fall. “The Bush” says he wants a strong dollar, yet his policies prove otherwise.

Countries that are our Competitors are financing the “Debt” of the country.

Corporations received Welfare from “The Bush” in hope of creating jobs, which did not happen. His economic plan has not produced a net job yet.

A Lawsuit Bill which makes filing a lawsuit against corporate malfeasance harder.

A Bankruptcy Bill which makes most Americans unable to get out of debt, leading to Banks being able to seize property and garnish wages with little effort.

“The Bush” is trying to push a Privatization of SSI that will funnel Billions of dollars to Wall Street in handling fees. And by doing this, is trying to prop up the Stock Market.

The Cost of Iraq is 4-to-5 Billion Dollars a week.

I see a President that is trying to cushion the next “Great Depression” at the expense of the Majority of Americans.

2. More about them
It's a hard-core group of long-time Bush supporters, masquerading as an "independent" 527.

This from the WaPo:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52857-2004May24.html

...

James Francis Jr., who put together the 1999 to 2000 Bush Pioneers, one of the most successful fundraising operations in U.S. history, has been asked to chair the lead GOP organization, called Progress for America (PFA), Francis and other Republican activists said yesterday.

...

Tom Synhorst, a direct-mail and phone-bank specialist, is a key strategic adviser to PFA. He is a partner in a direct mail and voter contact firm that has major contracts with both the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign and the Republican National Committee. Brian McCabe is the executive director....Synhorst's company, Feather, Larson & Synhorst, has already been paid at least $1.6 million by the Bush-Cheney campaign. Tony Feather, the lead partner, was political director of the 2000 Bush campaign.


...

Francis said he raised some money for Bush early in the current campaign but has not been active since then because he knew that he might be needed in helping out a separate, "independent" campaign and it was important to keep his distance from Bush-Cheney '04.


McCabe said Francis and Cicconi are both PFA board members, along with C. Boyden Gray, White House counsel in the administration of George H.W. Bush, and Marilyn Ware, chairman of American Water in Pennsylvania. Ware has raised at least $100,000 for the current Bush-Chaney campaign and has qualified as a Pioneer. Francis said he has agreed to help but has not yet agreed to an official role.
