All 18 liberal organizations participating in a Jan. 9 press conference that attacked John Ashcroft's nomination as attorney general received a combined $150 million in government funding from 1996 to 1999, according to Census Bureau figures. Planned Parenthood, which has paid for its own newspaper ads assailing Ashcroft, received more government money than any other group: $27.3 million. The other foes of Ashcroft receiving the federal subsidies include the National Education Association, the Sierra Club and the NAACP. A footnote: The National Resources Defense Council, which leads the fight against Gale Norton's confirmation as secretary of the interior, received $275,000 in government money in 1999. Other federally funded groups opposing Norton include Friends of the Earth and the Sierra Club. suntimes.com
