Another Bob Adams' Fake Grassroots League of American Voters missive


This from Bob Adams, League of American Voters:
======================================================

Dear Friend:

Late last week I was simply shocked by a letter I received. I was sitting in my Washington, D.C. office when an office assistant said an urgent letter had been delivered to our office. I opened the letter – from the League of Women Voters – demanding that the organization I run – the League of American Voters – cease to exist!

Incredibly, the letter was signed by Mary Wilson, the president of the League of Women Voters. Wilson makes no bones about it – she wants me and the League of American Voters to shut down because she doesn’t like our views opposing Barack Obama’s radical health care plan.

Astroturf built on Corporate, Political Parties, and Industry Trade Association Funding


Astroturf describes fake grassroots groups that are created and funded by corporations, political parties or industry trade associations to advance a political agenda.

Astroturf groups fighting media reform manufacture the impression of public opposition to issues like Net
Neutrality to sway policy makers and the media. What these groups won't tell you is that they're bought and paid for by the phone and cable industry. FreePress.net
