The Press ever since the end of the Democratic Convention has been saying that Kerry would not spend any cash doing advertising and would be letting others work create advertisements....IE the 527s picked up the slack.
Today they said the change would be the ad released today.
Pssstt ....big secret....even the press has not commented on this yet, but you can be pretty sure that Moveon.org is funded by Democrats.....Shhhhhhhh the press is keeping this story under wraps, until they have time to verify it, heard the story is targeted for December |

Sorry to disappoint you, integrityCounts;
Most 527s are being financed by internationalists and socialists.
(But don't tell anybody, OK?)

FYI, the CEO of Progressive Insurance Company has donated over 10 million to left wing groups this election year alone.
Remember that when you shop for car insurance. |

Here is an article that puts it all into perspective from way back in 2003 (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/11/11/politics/main582932.shtml
Note that he contributes only to Democrats (with the notable exception of John McCain!) and has ties to Podesta and other DNC/Clinton heavyweights.
And the Kerry Dems have the gall to complain about a measely $200K from a Republican? Kerry, thy name be hypocrite!
Billionaire Bankrolls Bush Bashers
NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2003

"George Soros has purchased the Democratic Party."
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson
(CBS) Billionaire George Soros has pledged $15.5 million to efforts to unseat President Bush in an election that he sees as a "life and death" struggle to defeat the administration's "supremacist ideology," a newspaper reports.
"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," the 74-year-old Soros tells The Washington Post. "And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."
Calling the 2004 race "the central focus of my life" and comparing the president's ideology to what he witnessed in Nazi occupied Hungary, Soros is fueling attacks on the president that campaign finance reform might have prevented, The Post reports.
Last year's soft-money ban is starving the national parties of the cash they once used to finance advertising and door-to-door campaigns. Soros is filling the gap by donating to independent groups bent on defeating the president, like MoveOn.org, to which he and a partner pledged up to $5 million this week.
He has also raised money directly for former Vermont governor and Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, and supports Democratic runners Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, retired Gen. Wesley Clark and Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri.
Republicans see irony in Soros, who has spent millions promoting open societies abroad, is helping Democratic adherents skirt campaign finance laws.
"George Soros has purchased the Democratic Party," Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson told The Post.
Campaign finance advocates have also expressed concerns over Soros' spending, The Post reports.
Soros says his motivation is deeply personal, the result of deep anxieties over the nation's direction that sometimes wake him at 3 in the morning. The Post quotes the billionaire comparing the president's phrase "You're either with us or against us" in the war on terrorism, to Nazi slogans he saw in his childhood Hungary, like "The enemy is listening."
Soros also believes Mr. Bush feels "anointed by God."
In his efforts, Soros has been allied with former Clinton chief of staff John Podestra and liberal heavyweights. Soros' willingness to part with massive sums has spurred other wealthy people to ante up as well — the day after Soros offered $10 million to Americans Coming Together, five friends donated an additional $13.5 million to the group.
This is not the first year Soros has been generous with campaign funds. According to a database run by the Federal Election Commission, between 2000 and 2002 Soros gave $153,000 in soft money to the Democratic National Committee in three massive installments.
Since 1998, he donated $125,000 directly to candidates and committees. Except for one $1,000 check to Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, it all went to Democratic candidates or PACs that favor Democrats.

The 527s are required to file reports with the IRS listing donors, and the top five donors are all Democrats or of their ilk, with contributions totaling 39,300,273. You can get the info from opensecrets.org. These Guys think they can hide, when their deception is tranparent to all. I think Rush said it pretty well on his show "Look at the power of quality over the power of volume of money. One hundred and fifty grand, the mainstream press and the Kerry campaign are in full-fledged panic mode, folks. They're out there saying don't know what's hit 'em. It's a two-by-four upside the head, and it's making a mockery of McCain-Feingold. It's making a mockery of campaign finance reform, a $150,000 ad, one ad. How many ads does MoveOn.org run? How much in conjunction were they with Howard Dean, and then when Dean bombed out they joined forces with Kerry. And Soros is out there doing who the hell knows what but he's spending all that money, a hundred thousand dollars is a wake-up call, a hundred million, a yawn.
