'''People for the American Way''' (PFAW) is a [[left-wing]] advocacy group, founded by noted television producer [[Norman Lear]] (of "[[All in the Family]]" fame). While PFAW holds fast to its "non-partisan" tag, in fact, the organization tends to take a  [[liberal]] position. The [[Capital Research Center]] reported that in 2003 and 2004, 98 percent of the organization's political contributions went to [[Democratic Party]] candidates. <ref name="dtn">[http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6400 PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY (PFAW)], [[Discover the Networks]]</ref><ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/article/214869/big-corporations-finance-war-bushs-judges-byron-york Big Corporations Finance The War On Bush’s Judges], [[National Review Online]]</ref>

"In January 2003, PFAW partnered with leftist groups like [[NARAL]], the [[National Women's Law Center]], the [[National Organization for Women]], and the [[NAACP]] to complain that the Bush administration was attempting "to pack the courts" with conservative judges, and implored Democratic legislators in the Senate to filibuster the confirmation vote of any conservative nominee approved by the Judiciary Committee." <ref name="dtn" />
