Newt's Presidential Campaign Spells End For 'American Solutions'

Republican Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich's decision to make a run for the nomination has cost some Americans their jobs.

The Center for Public Integrity's Peter H. Stone breaks the news that the political group American Solutions for Winning the Future is a thing of the past. The 527 group, which raised $52 million in the four years since Gingrich founded it, closed its K Street offices and laid off its final six employees early last month.

As Newt Gingrich prepared his run for president, his main political action committee dramatically scaled back its fundraising activity. American Solutions PAC took in only $1,040 in the month of April -- an average of just $34.66 per day.

"The $1,040 raised in April was money that trickled in late from one mail piece we sent out at the beginning of the year," Dan Kotman of American Solutions told TPM in an email.
