In March 2008, Larry Lessig, Joe Trippi, Aaron Swartz, and Manika Jewelry's Monica Walsh launched a Section 501(C)(4) non-profit entity known as "Change Congress." Simultaneously, they also launched a Section 501(C)(3) non-profit entity known as "Change V2 Foundation," the purpose of which was to fund-raise on behalf of and financially support "Change Congress." Prior to relocating to the Manika Jewelry's store in 2009, both Change Congress and Change V2 Foundation were conveniently housed at The Kapor Center, located at 543 Howard St., 5th. Floor, in San Francisco. From left are Monica Walsh, Joe Trippi, Larry Lessig, and Aaron Swartz. (image: courtesy photo)
In 2010 Larry Lessig, Manika Jewelry's Monica Walsh, and others launched a whole new Section 501(C) non-profit entity known as "Democracy Fund, Inc." -- EIN 27-2439840
Strangely, on 6/6/2011 Larry Lessig, Manika Jewelry's Monica Walsh, and others caused Change V2 Foundation (which was launched in 2008) to also operate under the name "Democracy Fund, Inc." -- EIN 26-3088283
Mitchell Kapor, the spouse of CaliforniaALL's Freada Klein Kapor and overseer of the many foundations and businesses housed at The Kapor Center, located at 543 Howard St., 5th. Floor, in San Francisco. Although other potential explanations certainly exist, as matters presently stand, it appears that operatives participated in what appears to be a sophisticated financial scheme to misuse the California Bar Foundation and non-profit entity CaliforniaALL as a vehicle to embezzle and launder funds originated from major utility companies and the California Bar Foundation to push for the election of Barack Obama in general, and on behalf of those seeking to promote green energy in particular. Presently, viewed as potential wrongdoers are Jeffrey Bleich, Ron Olson, Brad Phillips (of Munger Tolles & Olson) John Roos and Mark Parnes (of Wilson Sonsini) James Brosnahan, Tony West, Chris Young, Annette Carnegie (of Morrison & Foerster) Steven Churchwell (of DLA Piper in Sacramento) Kamala Harris and Freada Klein Kapor of CaliforniaALL.(Image:courtesy photo)
