Soros Funded Group Forces States To Fund Special Voter Registration Drives For Welfare Recipients

The Takers vs. The Makers indeed. It's what this election is all about.

The left is pulling out all the stops to win this one. Their latest gambit is using lawfare to force states to make special and sustained efforts to register welfare recipients...at taxpayer expense.

The key group involved is the ACORN affiliated Demos foundation funded by George Soros. It still lists President Barack Obama on its masthead as part of its founding board of directors.

What they've done is to find a poster child on welfare in various states who claims they were not offered a voter registration form, per Bill Clinton's 'motor-voter' legislation from the 1990's. Then they've sued, and forced state governments to spend taxpayer dollars to go to extraordinary lengths to register welfare recipients.

As Bill Jacobsen relates, what's happened in Massachusetts is particularly egregious,because the Massachusetts state government is not only actively complying but enthusiastically behind these efforts:

The news broke today that Massachusetts has taken extraordinary efforts in response to a lawsuit by a former ACORN affiliated, Soros-funded group to register 500,000 welfare recipients to vote (who would have thought there were that many people on welfare considering Mass has only 6.5 million residents).

Republicans cried foul, as this was a transparent attempt to register Warren’s base, while no similar efforts were made to register voters who might be more favorably inclined towards Brown.

Rob Eno of Red Mass Group, however, took the story to an entirely new level by discovering that the group in question is run by Elizabeth Warren’s daughter:

Elizabeth Warren’s daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi is leaving nothing to chance in the 2012 election for her mother. Warren Tyagi, the chair of the George Soros funded Demos Foundation, has bankrolled, through Demos, former members of ACORN in their pursuit to have the Commonwealth’s welfare agency perform a voter registration drive. The Boston Herald has the story, although they missed the Warren familial connection….

The article goes on to show that NEU4J ( New England For Justice United) was aided financially in this effort by Warren Tyagi, who runs...wait for it..Demos.

The name demos, by the way is a cynical but entirely accurate inside joke. In Greek, it means 'the mob'.

NEU4J, along with the NAACP New England Area Conference, reached an agreement with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 5 — just two months after the suit was filed, which means they essentially rolled over and gave NEU4J pretty much whatever they wanted..

The deal requires state officials to mail vote registration forms to the 477,944 welfare recipients who were on the books between June 1, 2011 and May 31, 2012. The mailings will cost the state $275,844.

Massachusetts also agreed to run public service announcements on TV and radio stations from mid-July through mid-October publicizing the registration push. And welfare office waiting rooms, which will soon be equipped with TVs, must make announcements explaining how to register to vote.

The office of Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin, who was also named in the suit must take part in three voter outreach activities in communities with a high concentration of welfare recipients.

Let's chew this over for a minute..in a state with a close senate race at hand, the daughter and son-in-law of one of the candidates are in charge of spending tax payer dollars to register her base!

GOP incumbent Scott Brown had it exactly right:

“I want every legal vote to count, but it’s outrageous to use taxpayer dollars to register welfare recipients as part of a special effort to boost one political party over another,” Brown said in a statement this morning. “This effort to sign up welfare recipients is being aided by Elizabeth Warren’s daughter and it’s clearly designed to benefit her mother’s political campaign. It means that I’m going to have to work that much harder to get out my pro-jobs, pro-free enterprise message.”

Not only that, but the money and manpower the state of Massachusetts is spending could and should be considered campaign contributions.

Also, as Professor Jacobsen reveals: the claim was not that people were not offered registration forms, but that Mass officials should have take more steps after over 90% of welfare recipients said they already were registered to vote (far above the actual number). The Sec. of State attached to the Answer the steps which already had been taken to assure adherence with the so-called Motor-Voter law. Rather than defend the case, Mass just decided to agree to a mass mailing.

I'll just bet they did.

And it isn't just Massachusetts. So far Demos has sued 9 states, including the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

The cases are still pending in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Louisiana but settlements have been reached in Ohio, Missouri, New Mexico, Indiana and Georgia. Meanwhile, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado and Mississippi have all agreed to comply without being sued.

This, of course isn't the Democrat's normal tactic of voter fraud. This is just a way of attempting to maximize their base..at taxpayer expense.

It remains to be seen how successful this will end up being on election day.

Old White Multi-Billionaire Targets Uppity Black Man Who Doesn’t Know His Place

Yes. That 'uppity black man' would be war hero Rep. Allen West. And the old white billionaire would be George Soros, via a special super PAC called 'Dump West'. Soros has promised to fund it with $5 million of his ill gotten gains:

The Super PAC has been christened “Dump West” and is expected to file with the Federal Election Commission early next week. Sources have told The Shark Tank that a website along with a targeted web advertising campaign will soon be launched. Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asked former Congressman Larry Smith, who’s now working as a lobbyist, to help line up initial funding for the group. West is said to be at the top of Pelosi’s hit list.

Sources have also us that left wing billionaire George Soros is among those who committed to a $5 million war chest to defeat West. “It’s not surprising that the hard Left is seeking to beat West” said Florida Tea Party leader Eric Von Tausch “West’s a conservative hero.”

Larry Smith, Larry Smith..former Congressman Larry Smith, Florida...processing...oh yeah, this guy!

How typical of Democrats..use a convicted felon, tax cheat and grifter to try to take down a war hero and patriot.

The headline, by the way, is exactly what it would be in the dinosaur media's various outlets if West was a Democrat targeted by say, the Koch brothers.

Of course, this headline could also have read 'Former Nazi Kapo Targets Pro-Israel Congressman'.

Nevertheless, I have a feeling West will prevail. He's been in far tougher situations, fights his enemies couldn't even imagine let alone survive.

The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy Meets Secretly In Miami

This week, at an exclusive resort in Miami Beach, George Soros and other prominent left-wing billionaires and their political operatives held a top secret meeting at the ultra exclusive Biltmore Hotel to discuss strategy for the 2012 elections.

The conference was held under the aegis of a group known as Democracy Alliance (DA), a collection of heavyweight wealthy leftist donors formed in 2005.

Dues start at $30,000 per year, and additionally, members pledge to contribute at least $170,000 per year to groups sponsored by DA.

In the luxurious 150-acre resort, attendees spotted included Andy Stern, the former president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and frequent White House visitor, DA board member and Soros spokesman Michael Vachon, Ari Rabin-Havt, the executive vice president of the Soros-funded Media Matters for America (MMFA), and a number of other familiar faces:

The Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank with deep ties to the Obama administration, was also heavily represented. CAP president Neera Tanden joined former Rep. Tom Perriello (D., Va.), president and CEO of the CAP Action Fund, and Van Jones, a senior fellow and former White House green jobs adviser, among others.

Jones did not respond to the Free Beacon’s requests for comment.

The Center for American Progress has been at the forefront of a coordinated campaign to discredit and demonize conservative donors and to demand transparency in political giving.

However, CAP does not disclose its donors, nor does it mention its participation in the Democracy Alliance on its website.{...}

Inside the rooms, which cost as much as $3,000 per night, guests are invited to enjoy $8 bottles of Evian. The accompanying literature features advertisements for private Swiss banks such as E. Gutzwiller & Cie.

Controversial former Rep. Alan Grayson (D., Fla.), who nicknamed his most recent opponent and current congressman Daniel Webster (R., Fla.) “Taliban Dan,” cracked jokes in the elevators.

DA board members such as Steve Phillips, Donald Sussman, and Kelly Craighead, each with connections to major left-leaning political organizations, were less recognizable, but perhaps of equal or greater import.

Phillips, who serves as secretary for the DA, oversees a number of political action committees such as PAC+, which focuses on Latino voters, and PowerPAC.org, a “statewide social justice organization working with community organizations and activists to build political power in California.”

Sussman, a hedge-fund manager who invests in Chinese companies, is married to Rep. Chellie Pingree (D., Maine) and currently serves on the board of CAP.

Another prominent hedge fund manager, Thomas E. Steyer of Farallon Capital Management, also sits on CAP’s board.

Craighead is the DA’s president and managing director. She formerly worked as a “strategic consultant” to liberal groups like MMFA.

Other notable attendees include Cynthia Ryan, a principal at the investment firm Schooner Capital, who has bundled between $200,000 and $500,000 for Obama’s reelection campaign.

The SEIU’s Larry McNeil, identified as a long-time “Saul Alinski organizer” [sic] in one online biography, was there with his wife Anne Bartley, currently a trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and a top contributor to the EMILY’s List Women Vote! PAC.

Sandor Straus, a prominent investment manager who has given at least $115,000 to Democratic candidates and liberal organizations this cycle, and Al Yates, the former Colorado State University president who played a pivotal role in the DA’s formation, were also in attendance.{...}

DA chairman and Big Taco baron Rob McKay, who also sits on the board of Priorities USA, hosted a $35,800-a-head fundraiser for Obama earlier this year.

Visher, the DA spokesperson, told the Free Beacon that the group’s members should be allowed to meet and advance their agenda in private.

She cited the New York Times’ Nicholas Confessore as a reporter whose work was appropriately respectful of the network’s privacy.

Confessore reported last week that the DA was planning to “convene near Miami,” but did not provide additional details such as the exact location of the event or notable invitees.

When contacted by the Free Beacon regarding his reasoning for not reporting such information, Confessore referred us to Eileen Murphy, the Times’ vice president of corporate communications.

“You are getting into a level of detail regarding our reporting and editing process here that we do not typically discuss publicly,” Murphy said in an email. “Sorry I won’t be able to be of much assistance.”

Attendees and operatives who weren't privy to several top secret meeting of this Left bent one tenth of one percent elite were invited to attend workshops with titles like “Occupy the Voting Booth” and “The 1 Percent Rule.”

In case you haven't realized, this was a sitdown to determine not just how to get President Obama re-elected, but what kind of payback to extract from him in exchange. There has been much talk in 'progressive' circles about either abandoning the Democrats or pressuring the party to move even further Left, if that's possible.
The patrons of the DA and similar groups represented at this gathering will dicker with President Obama on a price to gain the assistance of their troops and their resources to create a new order that leaves them permanently in place as the aristocracy behind the throne.

Hitler and the German industrialists made a similar bargain.

But then, if you research George Soros' history, he's very familiar with this sort of thing. And intimately familiar with the Nazis and how they operated.

Proof That Being An Activist For The 'Occupy' Protests Pays Pretty Well

As Scott Johnson from Powerline reveals , there are help wanted ads on Craigslist from the Working Families Party looking to hire protesters for Wall Street and offering $350-650 a week, depending on responsibility and length of time on staff.

I suppose there are bonuses for things like defecating on a police car.

The Working Families Party, as you may know, is a hard left local NY outlet of the Democratic Party that receives funds directly from George Soros ' Open Society via the Tides Foundation.

And it's not just George Soros. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the House of Representatives is actively fundraising to finance the 'Occupy' protests. More proof, if any was needed that the 'Occupy' protests are directly linked to the Obama campaign and coordinated out of the White House. The protestors for the most part are simply hired, ginned up shills without a clear idea of what they're actually protesting. They simply follow the orders of their employers.

This is simply a foretaste of the class warfare campaign this president plans to wage in an effort to secure four more years in power.

Who's Profiting On the TSA's Use Of Scanners? George Soros And Michael Chertoff

Wonder why the TSA spent billions of our tax dollars on scanners that don't detect explosives hidden in body cavities and can be easily fooled by someone who knows what he's doing?

Wonder no more.

One of the major contractors for the machines is a company called Rapiscan, and their political connections are impeccable.

One of Rapiscan’s chief lobbyists is Susan Carr, a former senior legislative aide to Rep. David Price, D-N.C., chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee who personally approved the contract.

Another shill for Rapiscan is George W. Bush’s Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, who earned part of his salary going on a media tour promoting the use of these scanners without disclosing that he was a paid employee of Rapiscan.

And finally, the big enchilada. None other than George Soros, Obama intimate and the primary financier of the Left's infrastructure owns 11,300 shares of OSI Systems Inc., the company that owns Rapiscan. Not surprisingly, OSI’s stock has appreciated hugely since Rapiscan got their lucrative guv'mint contract.

Amazing how the dots connect, isn't it?
