Notes
Alliance for a New
America - a 527 funded by several state branches of SEIU.
It had a
one-page
website at http://afnamerica.com.
Alliance
for a New
America
believes that Washington is broken.
Special interests control
our government while members of the middle class who work hard and play
by the rules are left behind. We have to fix the problems in Washington
first if we are going to strengthen the economy and make sure every
American
has quality health care.
We
are encouraging
voters
to ask the candidates how they will make the middle class and working
Americans
their top priority in Washington, while ensuring that special interests
and corporate America lose their stranglehold on our government.
American Leadership Project
- "an unincorporated association organized under section
527 of the IRS code, dedicated to highlighting issues of importance to
the American middle class, such the economy, jobs, the rising cost of
health care, and the mortgage crisis." Chairman Jason
Kinney. Major support from AFSCME and IAM (Machinists).
Working for Working Americans
- "a non-federal political organization under Section 527 of the
Internal Revenue Code. It is supported by members of the United
Brotherhood
of Carpenters."
