Perhaps you know Carol Rove better, now think of Carol Rove
on steroids. Forti is a money guy for the Republicans, more specifically a
super-PAC dude, more specifically yet, a worker bee for the ultra rich. Or, he’s
an expert on how to raise money to fight your opponent by skirting elections
laws. Forti ran a 82 million independent campaign in 2006, the largest at that
time. He founded, get this, the Black
Rock Group, what a moniker for this group. Together with other groups with
which he is linked they spent $39 million during the midterm election period.
As for the future they plan to spend $240 million in the
2012 races to bash Obama and other Democrats; that’s a lot of scratch.
Currently, his has given Mitt Romney $12 million during the first half of last
year. They work to counter union groups and the MoveOn.org (another
organization you should be aware of; and one I support.)
Forti’s forte is getting around election campaign rules,
and he is very effective at it. Ah just don’t you love loophole pundits?
I’m getting my information on this from Any Kroll of Mother
Jones. Forti, when contacted by Kroll said, “I’ve always tried to stay behind
the scenes and I intend to keep it that way.”
We should know about him and others like the Koch brothers
who work behind the scenes to mold the country to a minorities (the rich) way
of thinking. MoveOn.org is much more up front.
Just so you know.
