People for the American Way?

Anyone know anything about this organization? Left/right wing?

1. Most definitely left-leaning

Here's a link:

http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/

IIRC, it was founded in the early 1980's by television producer Norman Lear in response to the influence of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority.

2. Danced with Ted Kennedy at one of their soiree's once....

honoring David Wolper.

QUITE the event.

3. I've been researching right wing think tanks and ran

across this website. It has oodles of good information and links about the enemy.

4. Thanks for the info.....

Hadn't heard of them, but apparently I'm on their mailing list now.... at least they're on the good side!

5. talked to them on the phone once

....their fund raising call came during dinner. The emphasis of their efforts is on the courts. They pass along the research to congress and put pressure on the Dems. (mostly, why waste your effort on Hatch etal.) Anyway, the guy who called was nice, but what got my money in the mail was when he called bush a fascist. I also turned him on the BBV.
