"Over the next two years, ACT opened more than 90 offices in 17 states from which it deployed more than 25,000 paid canvassers and volunteers "to knock on doors, stuff envelopes and make phone calls urging voters to defeat President Bush and support Democratic or 'progressive' candidates ..."
ACT ceased operations later in 2005.
In August 2007, Politico.com reported that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was fining ACT some $775,000 for having used unregulated soft money to help John Kerry and other Democratic candidates in 2004. The FEC determined that most of the $137 million ACT had raised for its get-out-the-vote effort that year, was derived from contributions that violated federal limits. The settlement was the third largest enforcement penalty in the FEC's 33-year history.

Ex-Fox News producer gets 10 years for child porn
(AP) –
WASHINGTON — A federal judge has sentenced a former Fox News Channel producer to 10 years in prison for possession of child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Aaron Bruns was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court. Prosecutors had recommended the 10-year term, citing Bruns' prior conviction on similar charges.
Authorities arrested Bruns in February after investigators said he had been sharing pornography on a social networking Web site. Bruns pleaded guilty in May to possession of child pornography.
Bruns covered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008 and later was a general producer in Washington, covering politics.
