So this "grassroots" organization is really based out of Virginia.....

1. More fascist astroturfing.

Thanks for the useful information.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. No.

Network Solutions is based out of Herndon VA. They are using NS's address as their registration address. Many people do this.

3. As Far As I'm Concerned...

...any organization that conceals their address is suspect.

And this organization is totally suspect.

4. What sort of ads? Do you have a link?

I'm in Chicago, so they don't need to run anti-teacher ads here...education is pretty universally derided in all sectors.

[CO Liberal]

5. Basically....

...their ads imply that all teachers care about is what the union tells them to do, and to hell with teaching the kids anything.

ON EDIT - Here's a link to their lie-filled ads:
