The best and biggest is probably Common Cause. It is a 501 org that lobbies - issue advocacy - but does not endorse or contribute to candidates or parties. ( I dont think ace understands the difference between issue advocacy and contributions to candidates/parties.) BTW, because it is a lobbying organization, donations are NOT tax deductible.
It is great grass roots lobbying organization that focuses on campaign finance reform...
Campaign Finance Reform - Common Cause
... greater transparency and accountability in govt and other issues.
Now, I'll just wait for ace or otto to jump in and scream George Soros!
It is well known that Soros is a contributor to Common Cause because of its transparency in identify contributors unlike Rove's organization in which contributors can hide behind a cloak of anonymity. Most of its money comes from the 400,000 members that are just regular citizens like you and me.
