And the advertisement and website is paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research, a federal Super PAC that relies on private funding just like the funding Adelson has pledged on behalf of Mitt Romney. Mr. Adelson was a donor cited in President Obama's "enemies list" put forth by his campaign highlighting major donors to Republican causes.

Who is this group
http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2008/10/who-is-jewish-council-on-education-and.html Who is the 'Jewish Council on Education and Research'?
A very Jewish-sounding organization called the 'Jewish Council on Education and Research' has been churning out pro-Obama videos at a torrid clip and seems to have an endless budget. Their latest video has recruited a panoply of leftist former army and Mossad officers who support Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama. In Israel, where most of the country serves in the IDF, there is no shortage of 'security experts' who would give the country to the 'Palestinians.' One of them - who does not appear in this video - is the current head of the Labor party, Ehud Barak. So let's go to the videotape, and then I'll tell you who some of these 'experts' are and then we'll try to look a bit at who JCER is. Hint: This is the second time you've seen them this weekend.
Let's talk about the JCER first because that's the juicy part. The JCER are the same people who are sponsoring the Columbus Day trip to Florida (returning on the first night of the holiday of Succot when it's forbidden to travel under Jewish law?) to convince your grandparents to vote for Obama. Yes, that's the group that put together the video by that sick yenta Sarah Silverman that Jackie Mason debunked on Friday.
Despite its lofty-sounding name, JCER is not a Jewish organization per se. It's a 527 organization started by a couple of rich, young, leftist Jews, who decided to find their Jewish identity through liberalism.
The Jewish Council for Education & Research (JCER), a federal political action committee, was created to develop and disseminate information to voters in the United States around issues of concern to the Jewish community. JCER is motivated by a deep love for the Jewish community and by a desire to ensure that Jews have access to all the information they need as they engage in the electoral process. Its premiere initiative is JewsVote.org, a campaign to help Jews take responsibility for identifying and communicating about the election with voters in our own communities -- among our friends and families -- and in key swing states. JewsVote.org will work with people from across the Jewish denominational spectrum to engage, inform and activate our community members.
In 2008, JewsVote.org is supporting Sen. Barack Obama for president and six other Congressional candidates [Did not see the list anywhere, but you can bet that one of them is Bob Wexler. CiJ] who share the American Jewish community's core public values: a robust First Amendment, equal rights for all, broad-based economic and educational opportunity, cultural liberalism, vigilance in the face of oppression, respect for the natural world, a strong but not belligerent foreign policy, and support for Israel [Note what's in last place. CiJ].
Recognizing that the Jewish community is not one-size fits all, and that inter-generational discourse is a key to disseminating information among Jews, JewsVote.org will soon launch a cross-platform initiative called TheGreatSchlep.com. TheGreatSchlep will target, engage and activate the facebook generation, connecting them with relatives and friends in the state of Florida and other key states.

The co-Executive Directors of JCER are Mik Moore and Ari Wallach.
Mik has fourteen years of experience working in the often overlapping worlds of communications, politics, and the Jewish community. He is currently on leave from Jewish Funds for Justice, where he serves as Chief Communications Officer. Mik serves on the board of The Jewish Week and is board chair of the Jewish Student Press Service. He studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, spent a year in Israel with the Zionist youth movement Young Judaea, and holds a B.A. from Vassar College and a J.D. from Georgetown Law.
Ari has been working at the intersection of business, politics and communications for over 12 years. He is currently on leave from the consulting firm of studioBenZion (sBZ) and was formerly VP of Corporate Development at Seed Media Group, where he was responsible for strategic alliances and business development. He serves on the board of the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS program and has been a past participant of the Hillel Spitzer Forum, The Bronfman Reboot initiative and The Jewish Week's "The Conversation." He was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area by the artist Susan Wallach and the late Raul Wallach. Ari's father, a Polish-born partisan with the Jewish underground in W.W. II, was hailed by Sen. Henry Reid as "a national treasure" upon his passing. He holds a B.A. from the University Of California, Berkeley.
Mik Moore is currently on leave from his job at Jewish Funds for Justice, an organization that has many worthwhile activities but has also promoted 'shareholder activism' to combat imaginary 'global warming.' Mik is also the proud owner of a Kos diary. We all know how much Kos loves Israel.
Ari Wallach is
founder re:think media which produces the new TV/IPTV show re:think. Ari was the founder of INFORUM, which is now one of the nation's largest non-partisan forums for those in their 20s-30s to learn about and discuss business, politics and culture.
He has worked with The United States Institute of Peace, the DNC and as the director of conflict resolution for the USCA at UC Berkeley. Ari was most recently a New York Coro Leadership Fellow.
Wallach doesn't seem to have Israel as his number one concern either. They're both in their early 30's and apparently still think they can change the world. Nearly all the search results on them relate to the current campaign.
I could not find their sources of funding - probably the most curious question of all.
But i could Basically a Soros group http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgave2.php?cmte=C00452847&cycle=2012 ndividual donors gave 11 large ($200+) contributions to this PAC in 2011-2012.
