To me that is a great article because it gives some info about how much money has come in, where it has been spent and how much is left in the kitty. I like to know the nitty-gritty. And best of all is that more ads are planned.

It also points out to all of us how expensive it is to run ads. I'm making another contribution after this message.

I like this paragraph best:

The group today claims to have raised $6.7 million from 53,000 people. Much of that comes from small contributors giving $100 or less, the group says. "A grass-roots effort," spokesman Mike Russell calls it.

But a report the group filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission showed that big money from Texas Republicans continues to fuel a major part of the anti-Kerry effort. The report showed that T. Boone Pickens, a Dallas oilman and corporate-takeover specialist, gave $500,000, and that another Dallas oilman, Albert Huddleston, gave $100,000.

Fueled by this money, the group's three TV ads and one Internet ad have been seen by millions of Americans. On Friday, an ad blasting Kerry for renouncing his war medals 30 years ago was re-released on national cable television. The group says it's spent close to $3 million to air its ads.
