It sure as heck looks like a liberal front group called the "Iowa Independent."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Go to the Iowa Secretary of States website and see what you find. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When you do a search for "Iowa Independent" and think you might get a business, corporation, or non-profit -- guess what you get?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You get a registered trademark.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Iowa Independent" is merely a registered trademark of a liberal non-profit group based in Washington, D.C. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The same group that is funded by the likes of SEIU and Tim Gill.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That kind of looks like "Iowa Independent" is the group that is really operating in the shadows.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Digging through much of what is written here -- and where the funding for this group comes from -- makes it pretty ripe for a complaint with the IRS and the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does "Iowa Independent" even maintain a bank account? Do they have a board? Who makes their editorial decisions? How much money is disbursed to them from SEIU's DC-supported charity? What does that group tell them to write or do?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Not what they seem?</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:34:06 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
