Head of "Move America Forward" sounds like a con-man
I collected information on Howard Kaloogian for my Right Wing Infopedia a while back. Today, I went into the Infopedia and read some of the articles.

Remember now, Kaloogian is the co-founder of this group. Melanie Morgan, I bet most of you have heard of her, is also connected to the group.

False endorsements
Fake Photo

False endorsements

In February 2006, Kaloogian placed an ad in a Washington, D.C. newspaper that falsely claimed the California Pro-Life Council endorsed Kaloogian, they however, did not endorse any candidate for the race. (1)
Another claim for endorsement by the conservative Center for Reclaiming America also proved false — the organization stated they don't endorse candidates. (2)
Kaloogian said that he was endorsed by Tom McClintock, a California State Senator, he however has said, "It has come to my attention that a campaign mailing on behalf of Howard Kaloogian includes a picture and quote from me that suggests that I have endorsed his candidacy for U. S. Congress. I have not." (3)

Fake Photo

Kaloogian used a photo taken in Turkey and said it was a photo of Baghdad in an effort to say that Iraq was "much more calm and stable than what many people believe it to be." (4) (Ironically, the photo was from a so-called 'truth tour' that Kaloogian took in Iraq.)
