I've spent some time this morning digging up information on the shadowy business-backed group, Americans for Job Security. While we don't know much about their donors, we actually can find out quite a bit about who's involved and who else they do business with.
I need your help to keep digging. Bill Halter could use our help, and exposing those who are behind the vicious attacks against him should be brought into the light. Bill Halter is only the latest target of a shadowy group that has been attempting to sabotage Democratic electoral hopes for the better part of a decade.
Here's what I've found out about them so far:

‘Senator Abraham staffers, with help from Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, have extorted money from high-tech industries by linking their contributions to important legislation.’ Contributions that reportedly went to AJS.
Given their past activity and the scandals they were involved in surrounding Trent Lott and Debbie Stabenow's election campaign, it's worth asking: Who's been soliciting campaign donations for them this time? And who's supplying the capital? Is it related in some way to pending legislation?
We now know that they've been involved in such practices before.

These two groups are run out of the same office. Could the RNC be funneling money to AJC? Should they at least be asked why they're supporting a group of interrelated companies that are putting out these vile ads? Is Mitt Romney involved, given that almost the entire staff worked on his Presidential campaign? Does he support these vile ads?
