Gov. Haley Barbour has joined American Crossroads, a well-funded conservative Political Action Committee that heavily influenced the 2010 elections, The Washington Post reported last week.
American Crossroads is a "super PAC," and Crossroads GPS is a nonprofit organization. Together, the organizations raised $71 million in 2010. Barbour will join Karl Rove, former George W. Bush strategist, with a goal of raising $240 million for the 2012 election cycle.
The Washington Post reports that American Crossroads can raise unlimited funds from individuals or corporations, but only the super PAC must disclose them publicly.
