Move America Forward’s marketing practices misled donors about the nonprofit’s plans to use donated money, according to the California Attorney General.
California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said Wednesday he has sued a group of prominent GOP activists, including a former state legislator, accusing them of misusing a charity that sends care packages to soldiers.
“Our troops and their commitment to our country should never be used for deceitful gimmicks,” Becerra said. “Preying on donors’ support for military service members and veterans with deceptive marketing not only hurts generous donors, but also hurts military families.”, angrily disputed the allegations and accused Becerra of a political stunt aimed at hurting the Tea Party.
Becerra “ has filed suit against one of America’s major and most successful pro-troop charities in keeping with the disgraceful effort of far-left politicians to attack every conservative they can,” said Melanie Morgan, the chairwoman of Move America Forward , who is also named in the lawsuit. The group, for which Russo served as “chief strategist,” according to the lawsuit, organized a caravan of 4,000 people in 2005 to protest anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan during her vigil at then-President George W. Bush’s ranch in Texas, the lawsuit said.
Russo said much of the money paid was reimbursement for expenses he occurred in organizing nationwide tours with rallies for the troops that featured entertainers. He said the attorney general investigators mistook the reimbursement of expenses such as renting buses and hotel rooms for rally participants, and “fair” commissions for fundraising.Kaloogian did not receive any funding from the charity, Russo added.
