Jan. 25, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- An online liberal activist group that is running television ads criticizing President Bush has raised $3.9 million from just three donors, including billionaire financier George Soros and movie producer Steve Bing.

The MoveOn.org Voter Fund has raised at least $4.5 million since October, including the donations from the three major contributors, according to a report to the Federal Election Commission this week.

Soros and his business partner, Peter Lewis of Cleveland, donated at least $1.45 million each, while Bing gave at least $971,426.

In the 2001-2002 election cycle, the last in which donors could contribute unlimited amounts known as soft money to the national party committees, Bing gave more than $9 million to the Democratic Party...
