America Votes

America Votes is a 527 committee that defines its role as a coalition of Democrat-inclined progressive groups "who have come together to increase voter registration, education and participation in electoral politics" in U.S. presidential election, 2004. 

America Votes is "the umbrella organization that will stitch together the activities of various progressive organizations." 

The other four allied groups are the Thunder Road Group, which "will concentrate on research and rapid response"; the Media Fund, "the principal vehicle for pro-Democratic television commercials by the coalition"; America Coming Together, "which is responsible for get-out-the-vote efforts"; and Joint Victory Campaign 2004, "a combined fundraising committee." 

The Executive Director of America Coming Together is Cecile Richards, previously a top aide to House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, who is "doing double duty as president of America Votes".
