Hi- I came to Wikipedia looking for information on the American Future Fund. I don't see any talk or discussion of why the page was deleted. The stupid organization is doing robo calls to my house, and I would like to know more about them. They are listed in multiple places, and seem to be a pretty big organization with lots of funding, and lots of impact on elections, so it is weird that there is not a page here are some links on them: http://www.factcheck.org/tag/american-future-fund/ They are mentioned by CBS News http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57521708/outside-groups-making-play-to-help-romney-with-ads/ - http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/anonymous-donors-are-driving-ads-new-mexicos-contested-senate-seat/57399/ as well as the LA times, NPR, etc, etc. In fact, my search of Google news gets 45,000 hits for them https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=american+future+fund&oq=american+future+fund !!!!
Why don't they have a page???? Where is the discussion of why their page was deleted? I think this is a glaring omission from wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.177.7 ( talk • contribs) 13:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

If anything, the Center to Protect Patient Rights has more associated news coverage, and it creates confusion to have them all lumped into the same article, even if it may be asserted that these groups are connected.
To that end, I have taken out the part talking about the Center to Protect Patient Rights and the other one (Americans for Responsible Leadership).
It should still show up in the history of this article, though, so we could copy it into any new Center to Protect Patient Rights article we create, and maybe for some other ones. Perhaps we could link them all to each other in each articles' "see also" section? ... provided there is neutral 3rd party discussion for any given group being linked to the others, of course.
Due to other work I have, and being new(ish) to editing wikipedia for anything but simple corrections, it may take me some time to get these articles together, though I will try. I guess, though, if you read this and want to get going on the project yourself, don't let me stop you. If when I come back it's already going, I'll start helping with your created page.
Here is an edited version of the bit I took out:
In 2012 the Center to Protect Patient Rights and Americans for Responsible Leadership paid $1 million to settle a case brought by the California Fair Political Practices Commission regarding their illegal transfer of $11 million dollars in funding to campaign accounts working against the California Proposition 30 (2012) ballot measure.

I didn't know the etiquette on who could remove that, and whether I was a fair judge of my own "work" applying the layout guidelines to the article. If there are any other layout problems, please help.

In my opinion, this article has serious NPOV issues. Language like that below makes a clear attempt to link the AFF with the Republican Party, as opposed to a general platform:
I think that drilling in Alaska probably isn't a good summary of energy positions--it sounds like selective attempt to present an unbalanced perspective here. Alkibiades14 ( talk) 21:59, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
