History and related organizationsMichael Dubke, David Carney, and several business groups helped start Americans for Job Security in 1997. Carney was political director for President George H. W. Bush, and Dubke was the first executive director and then president of Americans for Job Security until April 2008, when Stephen DeMaura, recruited by Carney, took over.[4]In 2002, AJS ran over $1 million in advertising attacking Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, who was running for the US Senate from NH in opposition to Republican John Sununu. In the 2008 rematch between Shaheen and Sununu, AJS again funded advertising attacking Shaheen.[5] In 2012, it bought $8 million worth of ads opposing Obama's reelection.[6] Complaints have been filed with the Federal Election Commission stating that Americans for Job Security should lose its 501(c)(6) status, which is reserved for "business leagues and trade associations" rather than groups that seek to influence elections.[7][8] In April 2018, watchdog groups filed complaints with the Internal Revenue Service against Americans for Job Security for failure to comply with federal rules governing nonprofits by not filing its taxes in over three years.[9] Americans For Job Security's 501(c)(6) status was revoked by the Internal Revenue Service on June 1, 2018, retroactive to March 15, 2018.[10] Operation TrenchcoatIn Alaska, the Pebble Mine proposal was opposed for endangering commercial fishing, and supported for creating jobs. Alaskan financier Robert Gillam paid $2 million to join AJS, as encouraged to by Dubke, expecting the money to be used to oppose the mine. Instead, AJS passed almost all of it onto another nonprofit, Alaskans for Clean Water, set up to push a ballot initiative, Alaska Clean Water Initiative, 2008, aimed at imposing clean-water restrictions on the mine, by a group that included Art Hackney, a local Republican consultant and board member of AJS. The Alaska Public Offices Commission investigated, and AJS paid a $20,000 settlement without admitting guilt, agreeing not to help anyone make anonymous contributions in the future which involved Alaska elections, but without the agreement applying to other states.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=McIntire|first1=Mike|title=Hidden Under Tax-Exempt Cloak, Political Dollars Flow|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/24/us/politics/24donate.html|accessdate=November 24, 2014|publisher=New York Times|date=September 23, 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Americans for Job Security|url=http://www.factcheck.org/2010/08/americans-for-job-security/|accessdate=24 November 2014|work=FactCheck.org|publisher=Annenberg Public Policy Center |date=August 19, 2010}} 3. ^Andrew Wheat, "DeLay’s Beautiful Laundrette', October 21, 2005] Texas Observer 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.publicintegrity.org/2010/10/26/2395/americans-job-security-how-shadow-group-hustles-funds|title=Americans for Job Security — how a shadow group hustles for funds|date=2010-10-26|website=Center for Public Integrity|access-date=2017-02-17}} 5. ^Huffington Post (July 1, 2008) "Sununu front group attacks Shaheen in NH" 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://go.bloomberg.com/political-capital/2012-09-28/business-group-runs-literally-8-million-in-ads/|title=Business Group Runs {{ndash}} Literally {{ndash}} $8 Million in Ads|first=Julie|last=Bykowicz|date=September 28, 2012|work=Bloomberg Business}} 7. ^[https://www.npr.org/blogs/secretmoney/2008/09/controversial_probusiness_grou.html NPR (September 15, 2008) "Controversial pro-business group targets Dems"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081102194133/http://www.npr.org/blogs/secretmoney/2008/09/controversial_probusiness_grou.html |date=November 2, 2008 }} 8. ^Public Citizen press release (April 11, 2007) 9. ^{{cite news |last=Beachum |first=Lateshia |url=https://www.publicintegrity.org/2018/04/04/21657/americans-for-job-security-irs |title=Conservative ‘dark money’ group faces IRS complaint over tax filings |work=Center for Public Integrity |date=April 4, 2018 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409000005/https://www.publicintegrity.org/2018/04/04/21657/americans-for-job-security-irs |archivedate=April 8, 2018 |accessdate=April 8, 2018 }} 10. ^"[https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/displayAll.do?dispatchMethod=displayAllInfo&Id=803151&ein=522062978&country=US&deductibility=all&dispatchMethod=searchAll&isDescending=false&city=&ein1=&postDateFrom=&exemptTypeCode=al&submitName=Search&sortColumn=orgName&totalResults=2&names=Americans+for+Job+Security&resultsPerPage=25&indexOfFirstRow=0&postDateTo=&state=All+States Americans for Job Security]".
