Gruden, Chasen, and Adrian Peterson fund a right-wing front group known informally and the pinstripe bowlers who are pushing this whole idea that unemployment extension makes people lazy.

Others, such as Alex Jones, Ann Ward, and Greg Davis based in Celebration, Florida are promoting the 'It's the Bankers or Us' campaign. However, both of these campaigns were overshadowed by the NASA press conference.
