VP Cheney to star at Vito fund-raiser - July 25 affair in New Dorp is expected to add 250Gs to congressman's re-election chest

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Vito Fossella is rolling out some heavy artillery -- Vice President Dick Cheney -- to bolster what could be a tough 2006 re-election campaign for the GOP congressman.

Cheney is due to headline a July 25 fund-raiser for Fossella (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) at the Excelsior Grand in New Dorp. The invitations for "An Evening With Vice President Dick Cheney" began going out during the past week.

Aides to Cheney, whose travel schedule is tightly guarded due to post-Sept. 11 security concerns, declined to comment yesterday on his itinerary, including Staten Island.

GOP sources said they expect the 6 p.m. private event to draw as many as 800 contributors from Staten Island, Brooklyn and other parts of the metro area, and that Fossella's campaign will realize about $250,000.

In a prepared statement yesterday, Fossella said he was "pleased to be working with President Bush and Vice President Cheney" on a range of foreign and domestic issues.

For the seemingly unbeatable Republicans in Staten Island? It is the only Repuke stronghold in NYC.
