MoveOn & Liberal/Progressive Groups Stealing Pepsi Charity Money From Kids With Cancer

Stealing from taxpayers isn't enough it seems, so liberal and union groups are gaming the system using their political operations to win charity donations Pepsi to be used for political purposes.

They are using politics to steal from real charities, like Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation, to fatten their campaign coffers.

Pepsi Refresh Contestant Claims Rules Were Broken

Groups belonging to the Progressive Slate, many of which are skilled at voter registration and community organizing, are collectively working to help each other win the contest. The strategy is proving successful: as of Thursday evening, eight of the top 10 contestants in the $50,000 category were Slate members, and two members were among the top five contestants vying for $250,000.

Many of their Web sites promote liberal agendas, featuring comments from MoveOn.org, recommending LeftyBlogs.com, and displaying membership lists that include labor unions.

They are led by the Center for Progressive Leadership, a nonprofit group whose eight-member board includes two Democratic members of the House of Representatives; Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a Democrat and the former lieutenant governor of Maryland; Matt Dunn, a Democrat who failed to win the party’s nomination to be governor of Vermont; and Mike Lux, a Democratic political operative who helped found the organization.

It appears Progressives will stoop to any low to get money, even cheat kids with cancer out of their hope to get well.
