Bush Raises at Least $34M in Six Weeks

By SHARON THEIMER
Associated Press Writer
July 1, 2003

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's campaign said Tuesday it has raised at least $34.2 million since he announced his 2004 re-election effort in May, with some checks still to be counted.

The Republican's total dwarfs fund-raising by his nine Democratic rivals, including Howard Dean, who racked up more than $800,000 in a daylong Web-a-thon on Monday that put him firmly among his party's money leaders as the second fund-raising quarter ended at midnight.

Bush raised $3 million at fund-raisers in Miami and Tampa, Fla., on Monday while Vice President Dick Cheney helped the campaign collect at least $500,000 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and $600,000 in Akron, Ohio.

The Bush-Cheney campaign had expected to raise around $30 million for the quarter after six weeks of fund raising. Bush entered the race in mid-May."This number represents strong enthusiasm for the president's leadership," campaign manager Ken Mehlman said.

Dean Taps Into Democrats' Frustrations

By MIKE GLOVER
Associated Press Writer
July 1, 2003

PHOENIX (AP) -- To hear him talk, you can't tell what most peeves Howard Dean: the U.S.-led war in Iraq or his Democratic presidential rivals inside the Washington Beltway.Either way, Dean's take-no-prisoners' pitch is driving scores of supporters and millions of dollars to his long-shot candidacy.

In the first months of the year, the little-known Dean developed a reputation as the outspoken anti-war candidate - a sharp contrast from his more established Democratic rivals in Congress who supported military action. But the anti-war moniker only captured part of Dean's appeal to some Democrats.Edwards blocks GIs' loan break

Edwards blocks GIs' loan break

By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 1, 2003

    Sen. John Edwards, North Carolina Democrat, is single-handedly blocking Senate action on legislation all but unanimously supported by the House to ease the student-loan burden for soldiers fighting overseas.

    In April, the House voted 421-1 to pass the HEROES Act, which essentially would defer student loans for soldiers called into action. The only dissenting vote was cast accidentally by one of the bill's sponsors.

    The bill is stalled in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee under a "secret hold," said Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican and chairman of the committee.

    Senate tradition allows members to lodge secret, or "anonymous," holds against a bill and block it indefinitely.

    Supporters of the bill, the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, were mystified for months that anyone would hold up such popular legislation, but couldn't pinpoint the culprit.

    "It's frustrating when something has such overwhelming support and then it gets held up like this," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Kline, Minnesota Republican.

Please keep me ON your ping list. I put in a lot of volunteer hours for George W. Bush in 2000, and I'm proud to say that they were very well spent. I'm sorry that that there are so many whiners that continue to try to distrupt your threads.

He won't be getting my vote either. As far as I am concerned, he has supported all the Socialist agendas under the sun. He has done nothing to stop the flow of illegal aliens, he has squandered our money to appease third world dictators, he has sucked up to communist Chinese at the expense of freedom loving Taiwanese, he has signed into law the most blatant violation of free speech acts since the Alien and Sedition Acts, he has imposed unjust tariffs on steel, he has signed the notorious Sarbanes-Oxley Act which will deter any business from taking risks, he celebrates PC diversity crap - the list grows longer everyday. I will gladly work for his defeat, and make sure noone like him ever gets elected.

Free speech is a disruption?

Feel free to prove wrong, any of the points made.

You left a few thing's out, but as it now stands I think I'll set the next one out.

And what point would that be? That the President will have illegal aliens to vote in your place. I hardly think that calls for a response.

But feel free to jump up and down and scream about your free speech being impeded. I know who's argument that sounds like. LOL!

I'm not sure how to reply. You voting for the 'RATS, Third Party or just 'punishing Bush' by stayin' away ??

Just think, if enough folks do that, you could help get someone even WORSE than clintoon in office. Well, at least you won't have a GOP to kick around anymore, huh?

I voted for Perot in 1992, and have regretted it ever since. I'll never make that mistake again. I'm voting for BUSH and ALL GOP on the ballot.

Pretty disgusting, huh ?? If they were to actually succeed in getting Bush out, ya reckon they'd be the first to whine about another clintoon/loser/RAT in office ??

Me too. I will vote for him. It would be nice not to have a socialist, but beggars, like me, can't be choosers. I don't have 34 million to field someone who can say no to socialism. Drifting slowly into chaos is better than the alternative (Demoncrats).

Since you have a hard time reading, I'll point it out to you.

Post #24 sums most of it up: "He has done nothing to stop the flow of illegal aliens, he has squandered our money to appease third world dictators, he has sucked up to communist Chinese at the expense of freedom loving Taiwanese, he has signed into law the most blatant violation of free speech acts since the Alien and Sedition Acts, he has imposed unjust tariffs on steel, he has signed the notorious Sarbanes-Oxley Act which will deter any business from taking risks, he celebrates PC diversity crap - the list grows longer everyday.

And I'll add that he wants' to give millions of criminal aliens citizenship and our social security funds.

Nowadays, there is very little difference between a Republican and a Democrat.

I was only going through my recent memory. I am sure the rap sheet against Bush is a lot longer than that. I mean everyday he does something to sell out conservatism. But, I highly encourage you not to sit out an election. Vote Libertarian or some other right-leaning candidate in order for the Republican party to move right. I still think the Republican party is the way to go, except I don't think the Bush/RINO way is the way to go.

A CHALLENGE!!
Recovering_Democrat's Goal:
$2000 to Bush-Cheney '04!


Amount donated so far:
$225


(11.25% of goal reached!)

I challenge fellow FREEPers to set a goal, and post it on this thread....it doesn't have to be the maximum...make it a challenge, though! I'm going to be giving in increments...bit by bit, as I do not have $2000 to give in one fell swoop! Fellow FREEPers, do the same! Let's make a record of how we're doing in supporting our Commander In Chief!!!!

Sorry, but you guys strike me as the Naderites of the Right.

How pure an ideology in politics can one expect? We win wars incrementally--not in one fell swoop. Sometimes compromise is necessary, even desirable for the goal to be met.

A vote for any other candidate other than Bush is a vote for the Democrat Party. That is my opinion.
