1. Most definitely left-leaning |
|
Here's a link: http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/IIRC, it was founded in the early 1980's by television producer Norman Lear in response to the influence of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority.

5. talked to them on the phone once |
|
....their fund raising call came during dinner. The emphasis of their efforts is on the courts. They pass along the research to congress and put pressure on the Dems. (mostly, why waste your effort on Hatch etal.) Anyway, the guy who called was nice, but what got my money in the mail was when he called bush a fascist. I also turned him on the BBV.
