.... FOA is a secretive group of Hollywood right-wingers (the one and only fellowship for entertainment industry conservatives) that formed in 2004. It has been described as a stealth right-wing group, influential in conservative circles, a GOP support group, and as operating under the same PR rules as Fight Club.
The full list of FOA members is kept under lock-and-key (to avoid potential blacklisting in a decidedly left-wing Tinseltown), and the group only recently achieved nonprofit status from the IRS after a three-year fight to do so.
Founding and high-profile friends include Gary Sinise, Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton, Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight, and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd. The hundreds of right-leaning members are invited to attend strictly off-the-record functions where Hollywood players get the chance to meet political celebrities, and also to network with like-minded entertainment-industry types. Past events have included a speech by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, summer fiestas, a pie-baking contest and family picnic. ....

We're going to be having a piñata to show how much of a caricature Mr. Trump has become, Jorge-Mario Cabrera, communications director at the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said on Wednesday. (Cabrera was obviously not pleased with Trumps comments regarding Mexican rapists and raping.) ...
