Did Charlie Jarvis fib today on Judy Woodruff’s <$NoAd$>show?
Here’s how the interview started…
WOODRUFF: First of all, Charlie Jarvis, USA Next, funded by whom?
CHARLIE JARVIS, CHAIRMAN, USA NEXT: We receive our funds from our base of 1.5 million individuals. Also we aggressively go after the support of very strong pro-free market businesses, business groups, associations, we’re pretty aggressive about looking for free market supporters.
Unfortunately, Woodruff didn’t follow up, and the answer stood.
But is it true?
A May 2004 article in The Washington Monthly says that though …
USA claims a nationwide network of more than one million activists … [it] listed zero income from membership dues in its most recent available tax return (emphasis added).
Given the date of the article, presumably the reference is to the 2002 return. And the MO certainly could have changed since then. But I’d say the ball’s in Charlie’s court.
