If you've seen anti-healthcare ads from "IWF.ORG", here's who that group is:

[Ken Burch]

From the Wikipedia article about them:

"Founded by Rosalie (Ricky) Gaull Silberman, Anita Blair, and Barbara Olson in 1992, the IWF grew out of the ad hoc group, "Women for Judge Thomas," that was created to defend Clarence Thomas against allegations of sexual harassment and other improprieties. By 1996 the organization had some 700 dues-paying members who met regularly at luncheons to network and share ideas.

Since Silberman, presidents of IWF have included Nancy M. Pfotenhauer and Anita Blair. The current president and CEO of the organization is Michelle D. Bernard, who assumed the role in January 2006. Before joining the IWF, Bernard, who holds a juris doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, served in the executive office of the 2000 Bush-Cheney Presidential Inaugural Committee and as a partner at the Washington, D.C. law office of Patton Boggs, LLP.

The IWF has been described as "a virtual 'Who's Who' of Washington's Republican establishment." People for the American Way, which is critical of the organization, describes IWF as "a secular counterpart to Religious Right women’s groups like Eagle Forum and Concerned Women for America."

7. Yep, I've seen em

They have been running IWF ads like mad here in Nebraska. It's always the one with some chick bitching that a public option wouldn't cover her breast cancer like her current insurance did.

My rebuttal, is "HEY YA STUPID BITCH, WHAT PART OF IF YOU LIKE YOUR INSURANCE, KEEP IT, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND".

It ain't about people who already have insurance they are happy with, it's about people who have none at all.

Jews for Hitler and Puppies for Puppy Mills. They are indeed a civic mind group.
