So now that Zuckerberg is co-starting a political advocacy group, could he provide the same benefit for other Republicans?
Zuckerberg and Joe Green, his close friend and college roommate, are establishing a 501(c)4 organization that will initially focus on comprehensive immigration and education reform, according to a source familiar with the groups plans.
