Reply #27: Unity08 and the Bloomberg Express seem to be 2 different entities. Unity is a definite Obama backer. [View All]

Unity08 apparently has some financial backers (low profile) because the BofD members they list do not seem to be big money people. Their college campus organizer is listed as Lindsay Ullman-Yale grad. They are a pro Obama organization and have definitely infiltrated the college campuses.

Here is some of Lindsay's message:Part of being involved with the effort is participation in discussions of issues that Unity08.com believes people should be discussing, but are not. Such issues are the national debt, dependence on foreign energy, education, healthcare and global terrorism. Growing from this discussion and the overall Unity08.com effort will be an online convention and a Unity ticket in the 2008 election.

“Basically what we’re doing is looking to run a Unity ticket with one Republican and one Democrat or vice-versa in the 2008 presidential election,” Ullman said. “And what that means is in the spring of 2008 roughly — maybe a little bit later or a little bit earlier — there would be an online convention where any American who’s registered to vote can participate in selecting the Unity ticket that will be on the presidential ballot in 2008.”


I haven't found any complaints about media concentration or media bias from Unity08 or job outsourcing, or corporate control of US. They describe themselves as "centrists".
