To: Bill who wrote (468224 ) 1/29/2012 3:40:10 PM From: longnshort Respond to of 793670 it's being put out by 'winning our future' a super pac Winning Our Future was formed on Dec. 13, 2011, which is later than many of the super PACs backing other Republican presidential candidates. According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, it had spent just $788,380 as of Jan. 4. But an infusion of $5 million from casino owner Sheldon Adelson, a longtime supporter of Gingrich, has thrust Winning Our Future into the spotlight. Politico and the New York Times reported that Adelson’s money was used to purchase a 27-minute documentary film, “ King of Bain: When Mitt Romney Came to Town ,” which portrays Romney as a corporate raider who destroyed businesses when he was CEO of the investment firm Bain Capital. According to the New York Times report, Winning Our Future planned to spend $3.4 million in South Carolina on radio and TV advertisements based on the film. The Center for Public Integrity noted that contributions from Adelson, chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands, may also come with some political baggage. The Las Vegas Sands disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that “it is facing a federal criminal probe into whether it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bars bribery overseas to win business,” according to the center’s report. Winning Our Future was created by Becky Burkett, who previously served as chief development officer for Gingrich’s now-defunct political committee called American Solutions for Winning the Future, a 527 organized under the IRS code. IRS documents show that Adelson gave $7 million to the group from 2006, when the committee formed, through 2010. That includes $2.9 million in 2008 and $2 million in 2007.
