The Competition
Numerous liberal 501(c)(4)
and 527 organizations are popping up around our state. These organizations,
including Wellstone Action, Progressive Majority, Moveon.org Civil Action, and
others are partnering with the established liberal organizations and the labor
unions, pouring millions of dollars into Minnesota to help get ultra-liberal
candidates elected, pledging to “take back” Minnesota.
Founded in 2003 and
led by Wellstone’s former campaign manager, Wellstone Action has
branched out into various political training enterprises – the most
prominent being Camp Wellstone, a 2˝ day campaign school for candidates,
campaign workers and grassroots activists.
