America Rising develops multimillion-dollar anti-Biden administration effort
By Ryan Lovelace - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 2, 2020
The conservative America Rising PAC is building an opposition research team, dubbed the Biden Accountability Initiative, ready to fight a potential Biden administration from day one.
At least 15 staffers will work on the multimillion-dollar effort that will take aim at presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s nominees, donors, and run an aggressive vetting campaign utilizing Freedom of Information Act requests, according to Chris Martin,
America Rising PAC spokesperson.
“We will utilize every resource at our disposal to counter the Biden administration’s far-left policies,”
Mr. Martin said in a statement. “The Biden Accountability Initiative will serve as a bulwark against what Joe Biden himself described as the most progressive administration in our nation’s history.”
Comment by Cali-Bob; "Since when did 'Progressive' mean Socialist? I thought it meant, 'Forward moving'. Didn't Teddy Roosevelt consider himself 'progressive? What was the "Bull Moose Party?
The Bull Moose Party was the unofficial name of President Teddy Roosevelt's Progressive Party of 1912.
The Platform of the Bull Moose Party
The Progressive Party was built on the strength of Roosevelt's ideas. Roosevelt portrayed himself as an advocate for the average citizen, whom he said should play a larger role in government. His running mate Johnson was a progressive governor of his state, who had a record of successfully implementing social reforms.
True to Roosevelt's progressive beliefs, the platform of the party called for major reforms including women's suffrage, social welfare assistance for women and children, farm relief, revisions in banking, health insurance in industries, and worker's compensation. The party also wanted an easier method to amend the constitution.
Many prominent social reformers were drawn to the Progressives, including Jane Addams of Hull House, Survey magazine editor Paul Kellogg, Florence Kelley of Henry Street Settlement, Owen Lovejoy of the National Child Labor Committee, and Margaret Dreier Robins of the National Women's Trade Union. co; thoughtco.com.
Is there something wrong with social reforms? Inquiring minds want to know.
