Before joining Obama, Jones had headed the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, which had received more than $1 million from the Open Society Institute to pursue its claim that the American criminal-justice system was racist and therefore to promote "alternatives to violence and incarceration."100 Over the years, Jones had been a board member of numerous nonprofits funded by the Shadow Party, including the radical environmental group Apollo Alliance, which was launched by the Soros-connected Tides Foundation, as well as Podesta's Center for American Progress.101 Jones definitely had gotten the Shadow Party message, often urging his fellow leftists "to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends."102

A key figure in the Shadow Party entering the Obama White House by the front door was the ubiquitous Andrew Stern, a veteran New Leftist who headed the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the second-largest labor organization in America. Trained in the tactics of radical activism at the Midwest Academy, Stern had worked with Soros to form America Votes to run the ground war for the 2004 Kerry-Edwards ticket. In 2008, Stern's SEIU contributed $60.7 million to help elect Barack Obama to the White House — deploying 100,000 volunteers during the campaign.103 As of October 30, 2009, scarcely eight months into the Obama presidency, the union boss had visited the White House 22 times — more than any other individual.104

Almost everywhere one looked in the new ad- ministration, members of the Soros inner circle proliferated. Key presidential strategist and advisor David Axelrod, who as much as anyone was responsible for Obama's elections, first to the Senate and then to the Presidency, had received over $200,000 for his political consulting firm during the 2004 elections from the Shadow Party's Media Fund.105 Carol Browner, named by Obama as his "environment czar," was a board member of the Alliance for Climate Protection, the Center for American Progress, and the League of Conservation Voters — all funded by Soros.106 The SEIU's Anna Burger, called "the most powerful women in the labor movement" by Fortune magazine and vice chair of the Democracy Alliance, was appointed to the Obama Economic Recovery Advisory Board.107 Kevin Jennings, who had established the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a Boston-area organization funded by the Open Society Institute, was named "education czar."108

With members of the Shadow Party playing central roles, the Obama White House began to roll out an ideological agenda immediately after the inauguration that involved many of George Soros' signature concerns.

Stimulus

Just a few days after Obama was elected, Soros stated: "I think we need a large stimulus package which will provide funds for state and local government to maintain their budgets — because they are not allowed by the constitution to run a deficit. For such a program to be successful, the federal government would need to provide hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition, another infrastructure program is necessary. In total, the cost would be in the 300 to 600 billion-dollar range .
