Bush raising millions for Republicans
Associated Press
Published January 31, 2008
TORRANCE, Calif. - President Bush pressured Congress to jump-start the economy and pass free trade deals with U.S. allies on Wednesday while tackling one other piece of unfinished business: taking in millions for the Republican Party before he leaves office. The president's popularity is sagging, yet the two-term president remains the top fundraiser for the GOP. He is raking in at least $4.7-million for Republicans in a three-day swing through California, Nevada, Colorado and Missouri while highlighting themes of his State of the Union address, officials said. Bush was to attend a luncheon at the Los Angeles home of Robin and Elliot Broidy to raise about $1.7-million for the Republican National Committee. Later, at a dinner in Hillsborough, a Democratic enclave in the San Francisco Bay area, he'll be helping raise another $1.5-million for the RNC. Other fundraisers are scheduled during the next few days in greater Las Vegas, Denver and Kansas City, Mo.
