American Action Network: Who's Putting Up The Money?
Justin Elliott | February 8, 2010, 9:04AM


With some of the country's top Republicans at the fore of the effort to create a new conservative think tank in Washington, the American Action Network is almost sure to become a political force when it launches later this month.

The public roll-out is scheduled for Feb. 22, so it's a good time to look at a few of the people who are reportedly helping to fund the American Action Network.

Asked about the funding model of the group in an interview with TPM last week, former McCain campaign adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin said, "We do have some people who have committed to help us for the first several years. We've also got nickels and dimes, and we're looking for more."

Holtz-Eakin is to lead the policy arm of American Action Network; former Sen. Norm Coleman is the chairman of the new group. Other GOP heavy-hitters reported to be involved include Jeb Bush and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.
