And in case people didn't follow that link here's what it says:
>Schindler lawyer Pat Anderson "was paid directly" by the
>anti-abortion Life Legal Defense Foundation, which "has already
>spent over $300,000 on this case," according to the foundation's Web
>site. Much of the support for Life Legal Defense Foundation, in
>turn, comes from the Alliance Defense Fund, an anti-gay rights group
>which collected more than $15 million in private donations in 2002
>and admits to having spent money on the Schiavo case "in the six
>figures," according to a recent article in the Palm Beach Post.
>Mediatransparency.org states that between 1994 and 2002, the
>Alliance Defense Fund received $142,000 from Philanthropy Roundtable
>members that include the Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation and the
>Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation.
>
>Wesley Smith and Rita Marker also work for organizations that get
>funding from Roundtable members. Smith is a paid senior fellow with
>the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based think tank that advocates
>the teaching of creationist "intelligent design" theory in public
>schools. Between 1993 and 1997, the Discovery Institute received
>$175,000 from the Bradley Foundation. Marker is executive director
>of the International Task Force on Euthanasia, which lobbies against
>physician-assisted suicide. In 2001, Marker's organization received
>$110,390 from the Randolph Foundation, an affiliate of the Smith
>Richardson family.
>
>Roundtable members also played a role in financing the Bush v.
>Schiavo litigation.
>
>The Family Research Council, which uses its annual $10 million
>budget to lobby for prayer in public schools and against gay
>marriage, filed an amicus curiae brief in Bush v. Schiavo supporting
>Gov. Bush, at the same time its former president, attorney Kenneth
>Connor, was representing the governor in that litigation. Between
>1992 and 2000, the council received $215,000 from the Bradley
>Foundation.
>
>Another amicus brief backing Bush was filed by a coalition of
>disability rights organizations that included the National
>Organization on Disability and the World Institute on Disability.
>The former received $810,000 between 1991 and 2002 from the Scaife
>Family Foundations, the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation, and the
>JM Foundation; the latter received $20,000 in 1997 from the JM
>Foundation.
