New Website to Track Bush Donations
Associated Press


WASHINGTON - A new Web site will track the wealthy donors who contribute to President Bush's re-election campaign, part of a consumer group's argument that big donations translate into political favoritism.

Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy organization founded by Ralph Nader in 1971, launched the Web site, www.WhiteHouseForSale.com, on Friday that focuses on major Bush fund- raisers who bundle $2,000 contributions from many individuals.

"We think the public has the right to know what these numbers are and exactly how much clout these people are getting here," said Frank Clemente, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch. --

The site is focusing solely on Bush's fund raising because he is the only major candidate who has opted out of the public financing system during the primaries, Clemente said. ---

The site goes to a re-direct at this time.

8. Press Silent About Dash For Cash
coming to a city near you - Ick, he'll be here on Monday. There's a protest on Monday and I just don't have the energy to waste my time on that slime.

Where ever Bush goes he raises money and people protest, do we even give a shit anymore? I just am counting the days until the campaign kicked in full gear and he goes away.
