“They helped to elect Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizer Mark Ritchie, the ACORN-loving Minnesota secretary of state who presided over Al Franken’s theft of incumbent Republican Norm Coleman’s U.S. Senate seat in the 2008 election cycle.” ~Matthew Vadum at the American Spectator
In 2008, SOSP backed winning candidates in Montana, West Virginia, Missouri and Oregon
In 2010, just two of SOSP’s candidates won their elections, in Minnesota and California
The project is a 527 political group, therefore benefits from a soft-money loophole
Internal Revenue Code: 527 political groups have no upper limit on contributions and no restrictions on who may contribute in seeking to influence the selection, nomination, election, appointment or defeat of candidates to federal, state or local public office
Many of SOSP’s founders and supporters have long-standing ties to George Soros

Anti-Obama leaf, you would have a room in my attic on the day of the rake
Yes
holy shit leaf this is amazing
I looked at a few at random and while true, they're a bit misleading;
>Obama administration attempted to blocked the full release of White House visitor records
>Judicial Watch brought suit seeking access to visitor records from January to September 2009
>A federal judge ruled that White House visitor records were subject to FOIA requests (2011)
>Justice Department argued that the visitor records could implicate national security issues
Bush 2 did the same, and so has Trump, even sighting the same security concerns. I've saved the page for later analysis anyway, thanks again you maple syrup madlad.
bump.
hey leaf, can you put this up on scribd or something? maybe a jpeg too? this is important shit.
