I've been receiving snail-mail propaganda from this Clarence-Thomas-defending, anti-feminist conservative (and former Bush/Cheney inaugural committee worker). I think DUers should know who this woman is and the source of their anti-Obamacare propaganda. You can see scans of the junk they've been sending me from "Independent Women's Voice" here:

And I assure you there is NOTHING "Independent" or "Non-partisan" about their crap (the word "Non-partisan" is used on their website). They are affiliated with Grover Norquist and are one of those goddamned 501(c)(4) orgs. The woman is a neo-con and trying to turn women voters in swing states (like me) against Obamacare and towards Romney, who says he will overturn it (even though it's his OWN plan from MA).
Here's what DailyKOS said about this oh-so-ethnic-looking little conserva-pundit back in 2008: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/06/14/535833/-A-Wolf-in-Sheep-s-Clothing-Who-is-Michelle-Bernard
Pass it on, in case anyone else you know receives any propaganda from this smarmy outfit and this smarmy woman, and let them know from whence it comes. Knowledge is power.

(11,119 posts)Karen Finney is a Demo, tho. She worked with/for Dr. Howard Dean when he ran the DNC. I figure that in 3 or 4 years, Karen Finney may have her own show on MSNBC.

(4,982 posts)from her org in my mailbox, so I went looking for the source and was NOT impressed (other than with how convoluted and smarmy all these 501c4s are) .
