Feb. 28, Feature - With deep pockets and ties to high-level Republican officials, Freedom's Watch, promises to spend 250 million dollars in advertising in the general election. In comparison, the 527 group, Swift Boat Veterans spent one tenth that in 2004 in ads attacking Democratic nominee John Kerry.

The group was launched last year as a non-profit lobbying organization. One of its founders is former White House Press Secretary Ari Fliescher and Bradley Blakeman, a senior aid to President Bush.

Federal Election laws to do not apply to these 527's which means lax oversight. They are unable to endorse a candidate but can talk and distort a candidates record.Neo-Con Front Group Exposed

Freedom's Watch focuses on foreign policy issues. They advocated attacking Iran and increasing troops in Iraq. They spent some money already this year on anti-immigrant advertising.

I love Freedom's Watch, and being a "Neocon" is a good thing.

A war was declared against us on 911, and the appeasers like the people who read this....
I'm not a frontgroup for big money interests

i am not a military/corporate lobbyist, executive, or millionaire, and believe me, being a neo-con is shameful.

if we continue the neo-con agenda of war for oil, the result will be decades of retaliation, and violence. its time for the real work to begin - real work is building, not bombing, communities.. and impeaching/arresting and holding those responsible accountable..

look out "barbara", and the rest of you neo-cons, 'cause the people are on to you - and we're comin..
