She is currently featured in the 'Mitt Romney Saved The Olympics' Super PAC propaganda.
They are portraying it as only being about his involvement in the Olympics.
But no, she's a contributor and supporter:

(18,541 posts)5. Thanks for that. You'd think I'd know better... She did much of her most devastating work here in DC
but when I searched for "Michelle Lee" on yahoo, her pics came up all over the place.
You know I don't mind you keeping me straight on the facts. I don't want to be the idiot on the Internet who always has to be right.
