FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MoveOn Bush-in-30-Seconds Contest
Billionaires for Bush Launch 2004 Campaign
New York, NY, January 9, 2004 - Billionaires for Bush, a political action committee advocating for the interests of the absolutely fabulous wealthy elite, was awarded a coveted finalist spot (top 15 of 1000) in MoveOn.org's Bush in 30 Seconds Ad Contest. The spot, "Leave No Billionaire Behind" (http://billionairesforbush.com/materials/), is a message of appreciation to the millions of children paying for tax breaks for the rich. The winning commercial will be announced at an event on January 12th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
"Leave No Billionaire Behind is a perfect example of President Bush's policies," said Phil T Rich, co-chair of Billionaires for Bush. "We have benefited immensely during his presidency and hope our ad clearly denotes our gratitude to him."
"This commercial is just one example of our appreciation - we will continue to endorse our President throughout this election year," added Seymour Benjamins, co-chair of Billionaires for Bush.
In addition to the commercial, Billionaires for Bush is launching its 2004 campaign with a "Billionaires Ball," scheduled to take place on January 31, 2004. This invite-only event will feature various performances by well-known NYC acts. At the event, Billionaires for Bush will formally endorse George W Bush for President because:
- President Bush has used the rebuilding of Iraq to channel over $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to Halliburton and our other companies.
- President Bush has helped us earn over 50,000% returns on our investments in legislation (see http://billionairesforbush.com/legislation.html).
- President Bush's latest round of tax cuts are wise and fair, saving the richest 1% (that's us) $104,000 each over the next 4 years, and the poorest 20% (that's them) $45 each over the same period.
- Because there's still millions more jobs to cut.
