adding ALEC sponsorship
The group supports far-right Republican candidates, spending money to not only oppose Democrats, but also moderate Republicans they term "RINOs" (an acronym for Republican In Name Only). Some within the Republican party dislike the Club; [[Mike Huckabee]], former Arkansas Governor and Republican Presidential Candidate (and current [[FOX News]] host), says the group should be called the "Club for Greed."<ref>Naftali Bendavid, [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124260719695528797.html Club for Growth Wears on Some Republicans], Wall Street Journal, May 19, 2009, accessed October 1, 2010.</ref><ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312181,00.html Transcript: Mike Huckabee on Fox News Sunday], ''Fox News'', November 19, 2007, accessed October 1, 2010.</ref>
