Bush-Cheney '04 Discloses Every Donor at GeorgeWBush.com

This week, Bush-Cheney '04 posted the over 105,000 individuals who have given $1 or more to the President's re-election campaign on the campaign's Web site at GeorgeWBush.com. The campaign received donations from 84% of America's counties and all fifty states to report a second quarter fundraising total of $34.4 million.

The FEC requires donor information on individuals who have given more than $200. The Bush-Cheney '04 second quarter report includes nearly 20,000 names and occupation and employer information for a remarkable 92% of those donors. The campaign has also released information for an additional 85,591 individuals, not required by law, who have given less than $200 to support the President's re-election. 78% of these files include occupation and employer information.

"The President believes in transparency and full disclosure. His 2000 campaign set the standard for releasing donor information and it is important that we continue to make this information available," said Ken Mehlman, Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Manager. "These figures reflect the strong, grassroots support the President enjoys across America. The generosity of our supporters helps ensure that we will be able to take the President's message to all corners of the nation during the upcoming election."

How long will it be before Pat Robertson contacts all of these people for donations?

I wonder if the next list will contain those who attended the $2000-per-plate fundraising lunch held here at the Wyndham Anatole? That lunch tab is just a little bit outside my budget.... [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

But typical. When I was in a NY law firm, we could get a "dinner" with the governor, but we had to provide 2-3 clients willing to pay $10K each to get his ear for the evening.
