Opportunity for All was a political action committee formed in 2000 by Lee Danielson in response to perceived government roadblocks. During the 2000 election for City Council, Opportunity for All donated $20,000 to support a business-friendly hybrid ticket of Republicans Jon Bright and Elizabeth Fortune, plus Democrat Meredith Richards. [1]
Opportunity for All called 3,000 potential voters in what the C-VILLE Weekly called a “push poll” to promote the Meadowcreek Parkway.
