Soros-backed group pores over emails as it targets Walker
http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/george-soros-funded-group-launches-site-devoted-to-scott-walker-emails-b99210237z1-246404361.html
Gov. Scott Walker has a new opponent this year a super PAC heavily funded by liberal billionaire George Soros.
In anticipation of Walker's re-election campaign this fall and possible presidential bid in 2016, American Bridge 21st Century is already hard at work in Wisconsin.
The group unveiled on Wednesday a new website called JohnDoeWalker.com, devoted to exposing information about Walker. The site was launched the same day emails were released from a secret John Doe investigation into links between Walker's staff and his political campaign.
American Bridge received $1 million from the Soros Fund Management firm during the 2012 election cycle and funding from individual donors and labor unions. Organizers say they have committed about two dozen of their Washington, D.C.-based staff to poring over the 27,000 pages of emails.

if we're up against the Koch brothers, I'm glad there's a Soros.
