A Rudy Giuliani fundraiser, at $ 9.11 per person:
A supporter of Rudy Giuliani’s is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican’s presidential campaign.
Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign’s national house party night.
But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the “$9.11 for Rudy” theme.
“There are some young people who came up with it,” Sofaer said when reached by telephone Monday evening. He referred other questions to Giuliani’s campaign.
“I’m just providing support for him. He’s an old friend of mine,” Sofaer said of Giuliani.
Sofaer was a State Department adviser under President Reagan and is a fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution
Giuliani’s campaign had no immediate comment.
According to the invitation, “$9.11 for Rudy” is an “independent, non-denominational grass-roots campaign to raise $10,000 in small increments to show how many individual, everyday Americans support `America’s Mayor.’”
Memo to Rudy: Give the money back.
