Hot on Anglico's heels in the hunt for 527s watch out for these right-wing groups in the months to come: The "Government Reform Coalition" and "Purge Congress 527". Each group has IRS initial filings with NC addresses but no reported contributions or expenditures to date. A large flow of cash could influence the fall elections but might not be detected until after election day.
Government Reform Coalition was formed last year with a Raleigh address that is listed as undeliverable by the US Postal Service and can not be identified in Wake County tax records. The custodian of the 527 is DC based lawyer "Alan P. Dye" a partner in the firm Webster, Chamberlain and Bean. Dye is closely associated with the "Republican Leadership Coalition" a group largely funded and controlled by millionaire J. Patrick Rooney, the self described "Father of Medical Savings Accounts" who also advocates for school vouchers. Rooney also largely funded the "People of Color" group which attacked Teresa Heinz for highlighting her African heritage.
Alan P. Dye is also associated with the "Council for National Policy" a conservative networking group which has a lobbying wing known as "CNP Action". In 2002 Dye represented a handful of groups including the Christian Coalition, Club for Growth and, National Right to Life, who joined a group of 27 entities (including the ACLU) in suing the Federal Election Commission to challege various provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002
It appears that the Government Reform Coalition has been set up as a 527 sleeper cell ready to be activated when the time comes to suddenly funnel money into supporting or distorting campaigns.
"Purge Congress 527" has been busy in the short time since its creation 7/6/06. The local Contact, Custodian and Director is William Gwynne Head, III, a Republican with a Raleigh PO Box address and Michael F. Smith, the other Director listed with an address in Key Largo, Florida. The Florida address has been hard to confirm as legal records list the $1.75 million property in another name. The domain names purgecongress.org and purgecongress.com were registered earlier on 5/25/06.
PurgeCongress.com is an active website describing the group as a defender of "American Exceptionalism". The site adds local anti-hero Nathan Tabor as President of the group. Three people officially make it a crowd. The site is currently heavy on immigration reform with a few nods to other conservative issues including "Ignorant People That Vote" and an as yet to be written section called "How to Talk to a Liberal". The site is designed and maintained by Tabor's TCV Media and includes several links back to TCV.

Not a good idea
A 527 has limitations placed on it by the FEC...plain little old blogs basically do not.

Thar you go with that disarmin charmin.
527 reporting occillates between IRS and FEC depending on the spending. While it lays a trail of confusion someone is going to mess up and someone like SD is going to be there when they do.
Great report, Greg.
And ho-lee shit on a stick. Looks like the Puppetmaster has paved the way for all manner of 4999's to
scumscam NC voters with special interest money.Hey Purge Congress! How about getting rid of the lyin' a$$holes and Bush enablers who said they'd only serve 12 years in their Contracts with America . . . Sue Myrick and Wally Jones.
Digestive tract
Maybe I got Nate all wrong and "Purge Congress" is a humanitarian effort to improve the Colon/ Digestive Tract Health of members of Congress with his brother's soy products.
That tag should be attached to every projection that comes out of the Whitehouse: Results not typical
Purge Congress 527
Seems that Link TextPurge Congress is powered by "unlimited vision." Not Left, not Right, but in the aisle of Congress.
They seek to defend Link TextAmerican Exceptionalism. Tell me what's wrong with that. Perhaps all of us should seek to defend Link TextAmerican Exceptionalism.
Cheers,

American Exceptionalism
Perhaps the disclaimer at the top of the Wikipedia article explains:
Don't believe everything you read.
I believe Purge Congress means "American Exceptionalism" in the worst possible way.
American exceptionalism
Your picture regarding
Your picture regarding Vietnam was a political war; a liberal government's political war. A war that took down LBJ and his corruption.
Your picture of a bloody face, I am not familiar with it and therefore I have no specific comment other than to say it only serves your hatred and lacks objectivity. Seems to be real.
Your picture of Bush is just what it is, a picture of Bush; leader of the free world including America's part of the free world that clearly enables your opinions, postings and hatred. Be objective; tell us what you would do if you were the leader of the free world and / or America.
Your picture of the fat baby is clearly a lack of parent knowledge and lack of responsibility. It has nothing to do with a liberal or conservative mission. If your child is 2 years old and fat, then you have nobody blame but the person that feeds the child unless the child has an incurable health problem.
Your picture of what I assume is the A-bomb distruction in Japan was a terrible but neccessary event. However, I suggest the pictured distruction was the beginning of the end for WWII. America did not start WWII. A Nazi coward did and was joined by Japan's Imperialist mission as a partner with the Nazis to rule the world, including America. The content of your picture is the reality war. A reality that enables you and millions of Americans to exist as we are, Americans. Japan's submarines fired upon the west of America. If the destruction in your picture had never occurred, the A-bomb, then there is a huge chance that you and millions of Americans would have never been born. Be objective, or at least try.
Your picture of the dead body in the water is perhaps a dead body. However, there is a liberal / manipulative press out there and, therefore, the body may be that of a person floating face down holding their breath for a manipulative photo. Such happens.
Your picture of the Twin Towers (9/11) is missing. I'm surprised because you seem like a person that believes Bush destroyed the Twin Towers, ordered a hit on the pentagon, shot-down the commercial airliner over PA, destroyed our 10 trillion dollar economy as of 9/11 that has since grown to more than 13 trillion dollars, ordered torture in Abu Gharib prison in Iraq of which the Iraqis took control of, ordered the Iraqis hang "27" terrorists last week that were held in Abu Gharib while other terrorist begged to be moved to an "American" operated prison in Iraq, and more.
You remind of a Gaza story. Five cowards in Gaza were confronting an American journalist in order to get camera time. They got it. They were screaming death to America, stomping the flag and the usual hatred. After their camera time was finished, but with cameras still running unbeknown to them, the real cowardliness in them appeared. While on camera they begged the camera crew to help get them American visas.
It's easy to be a terrorist, a critic, a predator, a parasite, less than objective, but very very difficult to be objective when filled with hatred.
Seems you need "unrestricted vision."
I make no claims to objectivity.
Nor do you, apparently.
Ignoring all your other stuff...
I just posted a blog entry on local school menus. If you want to know why our kids are fat, first take the Oreo out of your kid's hand, then read what they are eating at school.
CountryCrats - my thoughts, my blog.

umm
First, how is that cowardice? Please explain.
Second, what if they wanted visas to follow through with their words?
A decision was made to shoot down the planes on September 11th. Sadly that decision was made too late to save the lives of the innocent civilians in the towers. Our economy always grows, that is not the question. The question is who is seeing that growth and who is not. Im not sure about the other things in your story, but I do know that the president has almost admitted to torture, because he believes it helps us. I have no idea why you quoted '27' and 'American'. I can only assume it is because you are wrong.
This website does not pretend to be objective.

If this is not trollspeak I don't know what is:
There is nothing in the previous post to justify this comment, but as you say it is:

You're kidding, right?
The last link someone gave me to that cesspool was supposedly incontrovertible evidence that Saddam and bin Laden were actively colluding to attack the US.
