Good. I like the idea of these groups, but don't like the abuses.

Here's the scorecard:

* League of Conservation Voters 527 and 527II -- $180,000
* MoveOn.org Voter Fund -- $ 150,000
* Swiftboat Veterans and POWs for Truth -- $ 299,500

The announcement also includes the following:


Hopefully, we won't see organizations like these get carried away during the '08 presidential campaign.
MoveOn.org was very busy this past election organizing phone banks to call voters in other states and tell them how to vote.
