The document, which purports to have been co-written by Rob Stein, founder of the George Soros-led Democracy Alliance and Maren Hesla, the director of WOMEN VOTE!, at abortion group EMILY’s List, offers new information on how the left is trying to create a permanent left-wing political infrastructure throughout the nation.(from newsrealblog.com)
Stein, it should be noted, is to be taken very seriously. He created an influential PowerPoint presentation called, “The Conservative Message Machine Money Matrix.” Using graphs, charts, diagrams, and bullet points, Stein explained how the conservative movement came to power by underwriting an intricate network of legal, academic, and political organizations (such as the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society) focusing on influencing public opinion on various issues. The left could ensure long-term political success by creating a similar infrastructure focused on its issues, he reasoned.
The document (below) was posted by Wellstone Action, an activist group named after the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, an arch-leftist Democrat who represented Minnesota. (Wellstone is the fellow whose 2002 funeral was turned into a political pep rally.)

Surprisingly, ACORN is not mentioned in the document. It’s hard to believe ACORN isn’t involved in Stein’s project. It could be that the group is merely lying low because of all the adverse publicity it’s had in recent months.
Note: As I was composing this blog post the document mysteriously disappeared from slideshare.net. Currently, the embedded versions of it still appear online. However, I made a PDF copy earlier today just for safekeeping. Read it here.
