George Soros and Other Rich Guys to Infuse Democrats With $100 Million for Grass-Roots Efforts -- Daily Intel
George Soros and Other Rich Guys to Infuse Democrats With $100 Million for Grass-Roots Efforts -- Daily Intel
Billionaire investor George Soros will be supplying $2 million to independent Democratic groups focused on grass-roots election efforts as part of a greater donor initiative to enhance outreach and voter registration operations. Soros will divide his donation equally between America Votes, a group that provides coordination and campaign support to progressive organizations; and American Bridge 21st Century, a super-PAC that focuses on communications and election-oriented research. Soros's contribution will be part of a nearly $100 million boost from other major liberal donors to like-minded causes and efforts. According to a New York Times report, Soros and others are pledging funds to grass-roots-type groups in part because they don't believe they can match the massive Republican super-PAC-funded negative television ad bombs, but also as a symbolic rejection of the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision, which gave birth to super-PACs that may spend on campaigns without limits.
