Economic Freedom Alliance

The Karl Rove-advised Economic Freedom Alliance: "We Have the Power"

A group calling itself the "Economic Freedom Alliance" (EFA) is also weighing in. EFA is based in Chicago. It is a 527 organization with an anti-labor focus that has paid Karl Rove as a consultant. From Open Secrets, EFA's top funder is the Illinois and Indiana Manufacturers Association.

The ad takes clips from a speech a lawyer for the National Education Association gave some years ago and attempts to smear all unions and undermine worker rights. CMD will post the actual video when it is available.

From the EFA website: "The Economic Freedom Alliance will not make contributions (directly or indirectly) to candidates for Federal office or make expenditures (directly or indirectly) in support of candidates for federal office."
