Some of the groups in America Votes have in turn formed America Coming Together (ACT), a new political action committee that will develop statewide plans for 17 key states. ACT can raise both regulated hard money for candidate contributions and unregulated soft money, and it is expected to have a budget of $75 million. Already it has raised $30 million, including $10 million from financier-philanthropist George Soros and $8 million from labor unions.

NEW YORK -- Billionaire philanthropist George Soros, famous for buying and selling stocks, bonds, and currencies, is now going to try his hand at lending to companies.

The $11.5 billion Soros Fund Management hired Steven Mnuchin, Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s former chief information officer, to run the business, SFM Capital Management, according to an internal memo.

The unit will provide financing, including mezzanine, convertible, asset-based, and real estate loans. It will also purchase distressed assets, according to the memo, signed by Mark Schwartz, Soros's chief executive.
