Shadow Party Members

Overview


The “Shadow Party” is a term originally devised by journalists to describe “Section 527” Political Committees promoting Democratic Party agendas. Here, it is used more specifically to refer to the network of non-profit activist groups established in the early 2000s by George Soros and others to mobilize resources — money, get-out-the-vote drives, campaign advertising, and policy initiatives — to elect Democratic candidates and guide the Democratic Party ever-further towards the left. The Internet fundraising operation MoveOn.org was a key component. The Shadow Party in this sense was conceived and organized principally by Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold Ickes. Its efforts were amplified by, and coordinated with, key government unions and the activist groups associated with the community organization ACORN. The key organizers of these groups were veterans of the Sixties left. The individuals and organizations listed on this page are some of the major players in the Shadow Party. For a comprehensive discussion of the Shadow Party, its constituent members, and its agendas and activities, click here.
