I saw an ad earlier on CNN smearing Democrats and trying to make Bush sound more reasonable from

Here is from their website:
About PFA VoterFund
The liberal politicians are working overtime to push their failed policies on America and distort the accomplished public policy records of conservative leaders across this nation. Everyday their campaigns engage in double-speak designed to bring us back to the days of tax-and-spend, government-knows-best policies. These policies thwart the ability of American families to keep more of what they earn and provide a safe environment for educating their children and growing the economy.
Progress for America Voter Fund ("PFA-VF") is a conservative issue advocacy organization dedicated to keeping the issue record straight on the campaign trail and serving as a "Political Truth Squad".
Here are the goals of the PFA-VF media campaign:
1. Level the playing field on ads -- it may not be possible out raise even George Soros alone, but the PFA Voter Fund must try to reduce the lopsided advertising advantage the Democratic 527s have on the campaign trail today .
2. Reinforce the messages of conservatives across the nation -- we have messages we know will work and energize the base; we just need the resources to deliver these messages.
3. Become a major factor in the battleground states, and also advertise on targeted national cable networks. To effectively air one TV thirty second ad in every battleground state will cost $9 million. At the outset depending upon resources, PFA-VF may decide to advertise only in battleground markets where we believe we can play a decisive role. These markets may cost anywhere from $500,000 to $1.5 million to deliver one TV 30. We may also go after targeted national cable network audiences for which the ad costs would range from $250,000 to $500,000.
As a diverse coalition of concerned citizens, nonprofit organizations, and other players in the political process, PFA-VF is dedicated to educating the American people regarding the public policy positions of candidates for federal, state and local office and mobilizing conservative voters. These activities provide the American people with the information they need to see through the misleading public policies and campaign themes of liberal politicians.

The company that this is listed under TSE Enterprises, is
tseaz.com. They have offices in Phoenix, AZ as well as Washington D.C., and their employees are not listed. However, I was able to find a little more information on
Prwatch.org that shows a lot more information on them. Also I discovered that
their lawyers are McDonald, Brown & Fagen. This sounds familiar so I am making a note of it here for now. This also solidifies their relationship to DCI Group, LLC which is also questionable. A list of their URLs are found

I plan to update more and provide a better formatted diary at some point, but I think these guys could be exposed for something bigger than the swift vets, and on the Social Security issue which Bush already looks like an asshole about. It's time to use this against Bush and permanently expose him as the criminal and lunatic that he is.
