This is the guy to blame for trying to overturn Affermative action and the voting rights act

[DainBramaged]

Edward Blum is also the director of the Project on Fair Representation. He studies civil rights policy issues such as voting rights, affirmative action, and multiculturalism. Prior to joining AEI, he facilitated the legal challenge to dozens of racially gerrymandered voting districts and race-based school admissions and public contracting programs throughout the nation. He is the author of The Unintended Consequences of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (AEI Press, 2007). The book describes how in recent years the Voting Rights Act has caused minority voters to become pawns in partisan redistricting battles, diminished competitive elections, driven the creation of bug-splat-like voting districts, and contributed to the ideological polarization of voting districts.

Edward Blum (whose last name is pronounced "Bloom&quot is not an attorney. He's a former stockbroker who now runs the Project on Fair Representation, a non-profit legal organization that is "designed to support litigation that challenges racial and ethnic classifications and preferences in state and federal courts," according to their website.

For the past 20 years, Blum has sought out individuals and entities to be the "faces" of breakthrough civil rights cases, and paired them with lawyers who aim to argue the whole way to the top. Their legal fees are paid for by Blum's conservative backers.

5. Part of the same neo-con scumbag group that is behind PNAC. They are all coming out of the closet

in three-piece suits now. They have been circling the wagons since before Obama was elected the first time. Obama's election and re-election just made their efforts more intense and broader. They are long-term soldiers. Remember, nothing happens in a vacuum.
