News > Some Perspective on 527 Donors
Kerry defenders and the media in general like to bring up the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's status as a 527, and the fact that Bob Perry, a rich Texan with Republican ties, gave the group $100,000 in seed money.
AlphaPatriot points to the OpenSecrets list of the top 527 individual donors, which is dominated by liberal, Democratic donors like George Soros (#2 with $12.6 million). The first conservative appears at #12. To get into the top 25, you'd need to donate at least $500,000. Organizational donors are also listed. The amounts are even larger, but show more influence from labor and trade organizations.
