[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 565295, member: 1"] [B][URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/us/politics/18influence.html?_r=1']A Conservative Organization Is Accused of Offering Help in a Labor Dispute for a Price - New York Times[/URL][/B] The American Conservative Union, which bills itself as the nation’s oldest conservative grass-roots lobbying organization, has found itself fending off charges that it put its principles up for sale. In a letter sent last month to FedEx, the group offered its support in a bitter legislative dispute with United Parcel Service, but said it wanted a contract of up to $3.4 million to wage a campaign to win support for FedEx’s position. When FedEx did not agree, executives at the company said, the conservative group’s chairman, David A. Keene, turned around and signed a letter using the group’s logo endorsing the UPS view and blasting FedEx. [/QUOTE]
