Take the Concerned Citizens for a Working America. The Virginia-based
political action committee (PAC) has thrown $250,000 into South
Carolina's fifth congressional district on behalf of the Republican

the sole citizen is a Virginia nonprofit called New Models, which is
not required to disclose its donors.

conservatives have engineered a hijacking of america in favor of the
