Taxpayers Subsidize Attacks on Ashcroft

Left-wing and liberal organizations, many of which have
coalesced to oppose the nomination of John Ashcroft as U.S.
attorney general, have received nearly $150 million in
taxpayer money to finance their operations since 1996,
according to a report by a Washington think tank.
Among the organizations benefiting from taxpayer largess are
National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood and
Sierra Club, along with labor powerhouses such as National
Education Association and American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
Data from the Federal Assistance Award Data System and
Internal Revenue Service records, studied by the Capital
Research Center, show that the amount of taxpayer funding
for these groups could exceed $150 million over four years
because funding data for some groups is missing for certain
years.
The Capital Research Center is a think tank that specializes
in studying philanthropy and "non-profit organizations, with
a special focus on reviving the American traditions of
charity, philanthropy, and voluntarism," according to the
group's Web site.
NOW, Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club and other groups have
vowed to fight Ashcroft's nomination as attorney general,
and it's not certain the degree to which their anti-Ashcroft
efforts are being paid for with taxpayer money.
According to the CRC report, the pro-abortion group Planned
Parenthood received more than $27.2 million in federal tax
money in 1999, and NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund
received $623,970 in federal funds that year.
