The coordinated campaign

Thanks to the man from Greasy Creek for noticing that the Coalition for Arkansas' Future had filed another quarterly report with the IRS.

There's never been any doubt that this so-called 527 organization is nothing but a vehicle to evade hard money campaign finance limits and pour bucks into the campaign to elect A$a (though he's done pretty well himself tapping pals in the D.C. lobbyist racket for cash). The state Republican Party provided most of the early seed money and it's run by a former employee of state Republican boss Clint Reed.

Now we see where the Republican Governors Association money, which we mentioned over the weekend, comes in.

The Coalition reported receiving $541,900 in the third quarter of the year -- $70,000 more from the Republican Party of Arkansas and $450,000 from the Republican Governors Association. The bulk of the money, $390,000, has gone into those TV ads echoing A$a's ads about what a tax-raising jerk Mike Beebe is.

Yet, if you say to their face that the Coalition to Destroy Arkansas' Future is totally owned and operated by the Republican party, they fall over themselves to deny it.

I'd rather live in Canada than in the future they envision, full of hate, debt, war, poverty and restrictions on our rights as free people.

When and just what can be done to stop these facades?
Thank you for the exposure!

This is the same group that is slandering so many state reps around the state. Don't forget about that either. They are tearing down good people despite not having anyone worth a nickel that's on the ballot.

Even more reason to get out and vote against the GOP!

One word:

MoveOn.

I think the leader of the group, Katherine Cherry, shoud appear in the ads. People would definately pay attention then. She is a babe!
