    The economics of Economic Justice for Truth

    Is that it raised $64,500 from three groups:

    The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers -- which gave $50,000 of that amount
    The ironworkers union
    The sprinkler-fitters union

    That's from its campaign finance filing, which we got at a quick press event that was just held (conveniently) in our building today.

    At the event, the group -- led by attorney Alex Talmadge -- said its Ken Smukler-created ad had been rejected by Channel 3 as well. They called for help from the ACLU with this series of station denials.

    And they called on the stations to pull a Knox ad that calls Economic Justice for Truth "illegal." They called that claim "blasphemous."

    All the campaigns and political action committees must reveal their latest campaign-finance filings today. We'll bring them to you in concise "The Economics Of" posts as they come in today.

    (Wendy ETA, at 6:42 p.m.: Economic Justice for Truth also said it plans to prepare a defamation suit against Knox, his campaign and his attorney, and file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against the local TV stations.)
