On the recordMarch 30, 2006
I appreciate you so much pointing out one of the stock and trades of the 527s, which is what I call ``the politics of division.'' And it is so often used because it pits one group against another. And it is cynical and it is not an honest debate at all. It is calling somebody up and saying, Isn't Joe Schmoe a bum and don't you think you ought to do something about it? You have no idea who is calling, no idea who is paying for it. Accountability and transparency, that is what we are after. And people all across this Nation are being affected by 527s, and they may not even know it. They are active in over 30 States, countless congressional districts in the Nation, and they are affecting people's opinions even though the folks do not know that they are there and they are paying for this message. We have been joined by Congresswoman Blackburn of Tennessee who is a wonderful leader, an honorary member of the Official Truth Squad. We welcome you today, and I look forward to your comments.
