The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is a neo-conservative think tank with strong ties to the American Enterprise Institute. PNAC's web site says it was "established in the spring of 1997" as "a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership." Their policy document, "Rebuilding America's Defences," openly advocates for total global military domination. Many members hold highest-level positions in the G.W. Bush administration.
The Project is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (501(c)(3)).

it appears that they are both vested in
Building a worldwide movement for democracy.
In the aftermath of World War II, faced with threats to our democratic allies and without any mechanism to channel political assistance, U.S. policy makers resorted to covert means, secretly sending advisers, equipment, and funds to support newspapers and parties under siege in Europe. When it was revealed in the late 1960's that some American PVO's were receiving covert funding from the CIA to wage the battle of ideas at international forums, the Johnson Administration concluded that such funding should cease, recommending establishment of “a public-private mechanism” to fund overseas activities openly.
.....in one of his major foreign policy addresses, President Reagan proposed an initiative "to foster the infrastructure of democracy--the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities--which allows a people to choose their own way, to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means." He noted that the American Political Foundation would soon begin a study "to determine how the U.S. can best contribute--as a nation--to the global campaign for democracy now gathering force." Delivered to a packed Parliamentary chamber in Britain's Westminster Palace, the Reagan speech would prove to be one of the central contributions to the establishment of a U.S. democracy foundation.
The American Political Foundation's study was funded by a $300,000 grant from the Agency for International Development(AID) and it became known as "The Democracy Program." Its executive board consisted of a broad cross-section of participants in American politics and foreign policy making. The Democracy Program recommended establishment of a bipartisan, private, non-profit corporation to be known as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). The Endowment, though non-governmental, would be funded primarily through annual appropriations and subject to congressional oversight. NED, in turn, would act as a grant-making foundation, distributing funds to private organizations for the purpose of promoting democracy abroad. These private organizations would include those created by the two political parties and the business community, which would join the regional international institutes of the labor movement already in existence.
http://www.ned.org/about/nedhistory.htmlOn January 30, 2005, the Iraqi people engaged in the country's first democratic elections in over a half century. The entire world watched as millions of Iraqi citizens ignored grave security concerns and courageously turned out to vote, endorsing democratic processes over violence and embracing a democratic future for their nation.
Since the liberation of Iraq in March 2003, the National Endowment for Democracy has supported a variety of programs that address democracy promotion through both political party development and civil society projects. These efforts helped to create the climate that allowed the Iraqi people to participate freely in the January elections for the transitional national assembly. The Endowment plans to remain active as the political process unfolds and will continue to provide assistance to the Iraqi people as they draft a permanent constitution, ratify and promulgate the constitution, organize the December 2005 elections for a constitutionally elected government and seek to consolidate democratic gains.
The Endowment's family of affiliated core institutes, the International Republican Institute (IRI), the National Democratic Institute (NDI), The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), and the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (Solidarity Center), all have significant programs in Iraq that address the needs for democracy building through the development of political parties, civil society and the business and labor sectors. IRI and NDI both have political party development programs that offer all the parties a wide range of training and consultations on leadership, coalition building, campaigning, platform and message development, poll monitoring, information technology and communications.

Terri Schiavo is still alive.
Published: Feb 8, 2005
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A charity founded three years ago to help pay legal costs for the parents of Terri Schiavo in a prominent right-to-die case has been fined $1,000 for failing to register with the state to solicit donations.
An administrative complaint filed Monday by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services gave the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation the option of paying the fine and registering properly with the state, or paying the fine and shutting down. It could also request an administrative hearing.
The foundation's purpose is to help Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, block her husband's attempts to remove the feeding tube that has kept her alive since she suffered severe brain damage when her heart briefly stopped 15 years ago.
Barbara Weller, an attorney for the Schindlers, said Tuesday the proper paperwork will be filed soon. She said the process was delayed partly because the Schindlers were exploring whether they could seek nonprofit status
