Adelson is also known for his philanthropy and has done many good things with his wealth. A great push for Newt. Philanthropy

Adelson donated over $25 million to the M.I.S. Hebrew Academy in Las Vegas to build a high school. In 2005, Adelson and his wife contributed $250,000 each (thus the total contribution from the couple was $500,000) to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.[12][13][14] In 2006 Adelson contributed $25 million to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority.[15] Since 2007 the Adelson Family Foundation has made contributions totalling $100 million to Birthright Israel, which finances Jewish youth trips to Israel.[16]

Adelson also has funded the Boston based Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Medical Research Foundation. AMRF is a private foundation committed to a model of open and highly integrated collaboration among outstanding investigators who participate in goal-directed basic and clinical research to prevent, reduce or eliminate disabling and life-threatening illness.[17] This foundation initiated the Adelson Program in Neural Repair and Rehabilitation (APNRR) with $7.5 million donated to collaborating researchers at 10 universities.[18]

[edit] Politics

In 2010, Adelson donated $1,000,000 to Newt Gingrich’s organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future.[19]

In 2011, Adelson is expected to donate an additional $20,000,000 to pro-Gingrich organizations in an effort to bolster Gingrich’s bid for the U.S. Presidency.[20]

Ron Paul is in the bed w/Mitt. Notice he never mentioned Mitt’s LACK OF MILITARY service. Why didn’t he attack romneycare when he was trying to paint santorum as not conservative. RP is taking up for MB - attacking Mitt’s opponent and not Mitt.
