....the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the John M. Olin Foundation, three of the top foundations that donate to AEI, Heritage, Cato, and other extremely conservative think tanks. Furthermore: Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Bank One, and numerous defense contractors, are also major donors.

In addition, there is a separate Clinton-supporting Third Way Foundation , created by Bill Clinton's buddy Al From, which likewise is financially backed by the Bradley Foundation, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the John M. Olin Foundation, as well as by the Walton Family Foundation (Wal-Mart), and the same Wall Street and military-contracting firms. The current president of this Third Way Foundation is Will Marshall, who was one of the few "Democrats" who passionately advocated for Bush's idea of "regime change in Iraq." In fact, Marshall shared the extremist views of the far-right Project for a New American Century (PNAC), which served as the lead organization outside the Bush White House propagandizing to invade Iraq. Third Way Foundation pays Will Marshall $200,000 per year , apparently to do little but fill out forms.
