Republicans on Perriello and Soros. The page below is taken from the unofficial blog of the Virginia House Republican Caucus. It is presented uncertified.
Tom Perriello co founded Avaaz. He is involved with many of the Open Society organisations and was the representative in Congress for Virigina's 5th District. He supports the current US military policy of invading countries to supposedly protect civilians -the US "Responsibility to Protect" policy. That is like using rape to protect young girl's virginity.
The article suggests Tom Perriello is employed by Soros. The text quotes $375 000 given to Avaaz. Several of the Avaaz pages referenced "grants" can no longer be found.

Tom Perriello's own Financial Disclosure Statement as a candidate for Congress 2007 and 2006 shows that except for $7625 from fees, his income was wholly from Soros. 2007 $40 500 via Avaaz. 2006 $108782 from Avaaz, Res publica, Century Foundation, Common Good Strategies, Catholics Alliance, Int Centre for Transitional Justice.
For the past two years, 2006 and 2007, (with the exception of about $7,625 he received for teaching a course at UVA Law and a consulting fee), Perriello's entire earned income has come EXCLUSIVELY from 7 non-profit organizations with seemingly harmless names such as the "Avaaz Foundation," "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good," "Res Publica," "FaithfulAmerica.org," and the "Global Education Action Fund." That's a total of $108,782 in 2006 and $84,125 in 2007. *NOTE the 2007 list shows only $40 500 from Avaaz
Tom Perriello is the Co-Founder of these so-called "non-profit" groups, which were all bankrolled by George Soros through his Open Society Institute.
According to his own Campaign Financial Disclosure Statement attached (and in his own hand) Tom Perriello has no other visible means of support than salaries he draws from so-called non-profits he founded, which are funded directly by George Soros. George Soros is not simply a significant campaign contributor, he is Tom Perriello's EMPLOYER. What are these groups?
The euphemistically-named "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) is an organization that, if you check out their website, appears dedicated exclusively to misleading Catholic voters about what their Church actually teaches, and convince them that, contrary to the consistent and plain teaching of the Pope and the Catholic Bishops, it is morally permissible to vote for pro-abortion candidates like, say, Tom Periello.
CACG bankrolled by the Open Society Institute (OSI) for $50K in 2005 and $100K in 2006. This is not surprising, George Soros' support and funding for abortion providers, RU-486 and pro-abortion advocacy groups is well-documented. CACG is simply a pro-abortion advocacy front group masquerading as a Catholic group. You can confirm it at the following sites:

OSI is George Soros' primary vehicle for distributing foundation grants. OSI gave Res Publica, another group Perriello co-founded, a $150,000 grant to start Avaaz.org.
Res Publica in turn gave $225,000 to Avaaz.org in 2006. Avaaz.org aims to be an international version of Soros' MoveOn.org, and is supported by the Service Employees
International Union and MoveOn.org, itself. MoveOn.org is heavily funded by Soros, receiving millions of dollars.

Eli Pariser, the Executive Director of MoveOn.org, donated to Perriello ($250 on 1/9/08). Pariser also serves on Res Publica's Advisory Board with John Podesta. You will no doubt recognize Podesta as Bill Clinton's former Chief-of-Staff. John Podesta heads Center for American Progress, CAP, and donated $500 to Perriello for Congress on 3/24/08. CAP has received millions in funding from George Soros and aims to be the extreme left wing counterpart to the Heritage Foundation.

Tom Perriello co-founded Faithful America, which raised money to run ads on Al Jazeera, apologizing to the Arab street on behalf of Americans. Faithful America was rolled into Faith in Public Life, which is sponsored by the Center for American Progress (CAP). CAP hosted a 'religious left' conference in 2004 with Res Publica.

Finally, George Soros and his family have personally donated to the congressional campaign of Tom Perriello. They organized a campaign fundraiser for Perriello in New York City, in which George, Jennifer, Jonathan, Andrea, and Robert Allen Soros each gave Tom Perriello $1,000.

Soros works just like ACORN. He creates or funds multiple groups who Hydra-like, work in conjunction for a common goal. This allows him to hide the overall scope and magnitude of his efforts from ready scrutiny. If one group is exposed, they can simply move funds to another.
Just in case you don't know who George Soros is, I've attached a document entitled Meet George Soros that provides other sources and citations. He has the strategy of funding multiple groups that are organized as non-profits with seemingly harmless and disarmingly misleading names that are dedicated to his agenda of decriminalizing illegal narcotics, restoring voting rights to felons, promoting assisted suicide, removing all legal restrictions on abortion and funding abortion providers, eliminating all private ownership of firearms, undermining U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, and eroding U.S. sovereignty in order to achieve the above goals. And he apparently owns Tom Perriello "lock, stock and barrel." The question is, is George Soros so rich that he can buy a Congressional Seat? He has already bought a Congressional candidate, Tom Perriello.
………….
George Soros is an international financial guru who is on par with Alan Greenspan and Warren Buffet. He has been able to presciently decide market fluctuations and invest as to capitalize upon both highs and lows.
Any billionaire engaged in progressing society will have multiple nonprofits benefiting from his philanthropic generosity. Soros has championed human rights, democratic nation-building in Eastern Europe, and the establishment of educational opportunities. To malign his vision and charity is a pure act of ignorance.
