NO U2 fundraising for Santorum

[donheld]

Today an article appeared over on NewsMax.com about Bono and U2 doing a fundraising concert for Republican Senator Rick Santorum. My jaw hit the floor.

The Santorum folks took a little too much liberty with the facts. Here is the statement from the folks over at DATA:

STATEMENT BY JAMIE DRUMMOND, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DATA (debt AIDS trade Africa), THE AFRICA ADVOCACY GROUP CO-FOUNDED BY BONO: “Throughout the U2 tour, politicians from both sides have been organizing fundraisers at the venues or around specific shows. Neither DATA or Bono are involved in these and they cannot be controlled. The U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician - they are rock concerts for U2 fans.”

As I have learned, it is a private luxary box at the arena and not an exclusive concert in the entire Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. Sen. Santorum . . . you may want to wipe those eggs off of your face.
