War chest to defeat the Rove/Koch/Chamber attack on democracy in America

I have posted two threads recently. One, advocating counteraction against the war on democracy that Karl Rove launched in February 2000, by offering the U.S. Chamber a blank government check for their support for G.W. Bush in the Republican primary and general election. Rove promised that his candidate would deliver "Everything business wanted." Rove's good buddy, Tom Donohue, took the check, provided unprecedented help to Rove, and received unprecedented favors from Rove in the form of wars, unregulated bubbles and bailouts, yielding the greatest transfer of wealth in history from our middle class and our treasury to global financial elites.

"The biggest political bribe in history . . . You guessed it: Karl Rove took it."

In the another thread I exposed how I believe Karl Rove fixed the FBI's investigation of his theft of the 2004 Presidential election which enabled him to place John Roberts and Samuel Alito onto the U.S. Supreme Court to vote to gut 100 years of legal restrictions upon corporate domination of our politics. This enabled bailouts of the banks for the financial crisis they recklessly created, rather than for American homeowners, students, and borrowers those banks had systematically victimized in highly innovative forms of predatory casino capitalism.

Jill Simpson, whom Governor Siegelman describes as an American hero and Modern Day Joan of Arc for her courageous stand against Karl Rove at the pinnacle of his power, leads our two organizations. Jim March, a man of considerable ability and background in this field, is Secretary. I serve as Treasurer. I have been litigating against Karl Rove and his accomplices for the last 12 years.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Thanks, Ellen.

One of our major voting rights leaders/clients asked me if we had tried tapping into the Obama's "Organizing for Action."

My impression is that can be used for supporting the President on many things, but not on the things we are trying to address like criminal election fraud and racketeering by Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers and Tom Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

OfA is 'strictly' political, and while 'related' to your work vis a vis ultimate goals, http://www.electionprotectionaction.org./ takes a different tack.

I hope to clarify this for DUers.

Our work in combating election fraud and political racketeering is also off limits for all of the public interest foundations and groups of which I am aware. George Soros, for example when asked by john a. powell, then of the OSU Kirwin Institute on Race and Ethnicity, for help on this replied he was not interested in supporting work on election fraud.

So, if it's going to happen, it's going to be ordinary people acting together who make it happen.
