Republican Meth House Papers Part Deux. More on the group who ran the puppet candidates
Mother Jones has a really good article on the group that has fallen under scrutiny because of the meth house papers. (If I am correct the WTP became the ATP after a name change.)
Here, this will catch you up:
Here is some of the Mother Jones Article:
A secretive nonprofit group that wants to nullify Montana's campaign finance laws received a $300,000 donation from an anti-union organization aligned with a Colorado furniture executive, an Internal Revenue Service document shows.
American Tradition Partnership, a pro-energy group known for successfully suing Montana to force it to abide by the US Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, has also sued the state to protect the identity of its donors—who have funded the ATP's attack mailers in state races.
An IRS document obtained by the Center for Public Integrity indicates one of its early donors was a nonprofit 501(c)(4) called Coloradans for Economic Growth, which spent millions of dollars from undisclosed sources to support a failed 2008 ballot initiative that would have made Colorado a "right-to-work" state.
Among the initiative's supporters was Jacob Jabs, president and CEO of American Furniture Warehouse. A 2008 letter to the IRS signed by former ATP employee Athena Dalton said Jabs was the "primary donor" and had promised to give $300,000 to ATP, but only if the IRS expedited its approval of ATP's application for tax-exempt status.
