	Citizens For Term Limits -- The Coming Together of America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		It was almost as if, overnight, George W. Bush had come of age politically, as if he had taken his new strength, his now-certain direction, from his people, rather than they from him.
		Instead, the cumulative effect was to make America that much stronger, to contribute to the coming together of the nation.
		They never knew that this is America, and there is nothing that Americans – come together – cannot do.

		ACT focused its attention on those working-class communities where the amateurs don’t go, where the disappearance of the party and the decimation of labor have rendered voter mobilization a dim memory and led to a disastrous decline in turnout.
		In small-town Ohio ACT headquarters, the staffers tended to be locals, nowhere more so than in Canton, where the closure of the Republic Steel mill and recent mass layoffs at other plants provided ACT with both a sympathetic political terrain and a cadre of unemployed workers whom it paid to walk the precincts.
		ACT has extensive and detailed voter files and volunteer files in all the key battleground states, but those lists cease to be of value if they’re not updated regularly.

	Byron York on America Coming Together on National Review Online
		Obviously, ACT, as big as it was, had not put John Kerry over the top, but the group had "held conversations at 4.6 million doorsteps about the truth about the Iraq war, about the state of our healthcare system, about the economy." It had registered half-a-million new voters.
		ACT had "helped ensure George W. Bush’s defeat in several of the key states and made the race close in others." It had "enabled Democrats to take back the Oregon state legislature for the first time in 10 years." It had helped Missouri Democrat Robin Carnahan win election as Missouri secretary of state.
		America Coming Together — a so-called "527" group that could still legally accept big contributions — was the answer.
