Recurring donors lead record Bush fund-raiser
Washington eight "underwriters" each gave or raised at least $250,000 for party and congressional committees at a $2,500-a-plate dinner at the Washington Convention Center. The event, featuring President Bush and Vice President Cheney, raised over $20 million for the National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee, breaking prior records. Major backers included Pepsico, Coca Cola, Sherman Adelson and Miriam Adelson, Jerry Perenchio, Metabolite International, American Financial Group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and Fannie Mae, with 51 others at the $100,000 level. Adelson and Miriam Adelson are noted for drug-treatment work in Tel Aviv and Las Vegas. Metabolite had contributed to Governor Gray Davis, a Democrat, a point dented by the company as unrelated to ephedra legislation. Davis framed ephedra controls as interstate commerce policy for federal action.
