USA Next - Pro-Seniors or Pro-Conersvative Agenda??
Submitted by Browns Fan on Monday, April 11, 2005 - 12:23
Do you see the incestuous web the Conservatives are tangled in? I guess it's no real surprise one conservative supporting anohter. But Michael Tackett's story in yesterday's Chicago Tribune (April 10, 2005) nicely laid out the connection between Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, USA Next and Alexander Strategy (which has been mentioned in the media a lot lately). The media coverage of Alexander Strategy Group has lead me to conduct a deeper review of the lobbying firm’s true intentions and connections to conservative issues, specifically USA Next and the privatization of Social Security. DOES USA NEXT SINCERELY CARE ABOUT SENIORS OR THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA? So please help me untangle this incestuous web. Is anyone familiar with “Advocacy Technologies LLC?” I’ve come across this group, but have not found much. According the April 10, 2005 Chicago Tribune, USA Next paid them $1.3 million in 2003 for media placements. They are located down the hall from Alexander Strategy Group at 3000 K Street in DC. Is there a relationship between Advocacy Technologies and Alexander Strategy Group? Here is what I can piece together… The Degrees of Separation: Ed Buckham: Founder of Alexander Strategy Group Former Chief of Staff to Tom DeLay Introduced DeLay to Jack Abramoff Christine DeLay: Employed by Alexander Strategy Group Mike Mihalke: Sr. Partner at Alexander Strategy Group Founder of Advocacy Technologies LLC Former Board Member of USA Next Jack Abramoff: Former Board Member of USA Next Beau Boulter: Former Carmen Group Lobbyist for USA Next Former GOP Congressman from Texas, one of the "Texas Six-Pack" of Republicans elected in 1984, along with Dick Armey and Tom DeLay. David Keene: Carmen Group Lobbyist for USA Next Chairman of American Conservative Union Chairman of Conservative Political Action Conference Ran a PR firm with Craig Shirley from 1987-1992 called Keene, Shirley & Associates National Political Director for George H. W. Bush in 1980 Karl Rove: Ran George H. W. Bush's unsuccessful primary campaign for president in 1980. Thanks, Browns Fan
