Dean Calls on Rudy Giuliani to Fully Disclose Involvement in California Right-Wing Power Grab Initiative

Giuliani's Top Fundraiser Contributed $175,000 to Shadowy Front Group

News reports this evening reveal that Rudy Giuliani's ties to the ballot initiative to rig the Electoral College in California for the 2008 presidential elections are far deeper that previously known. According to the New York Daily News, Rudy's "top fundraiser" Paul Singer "revealed himself today as the sole financial backer" of the ballot initiative. Singer made the one donation of $175,000 to "Take Initiative America," a shadowy front group financing the initiative. New York Daily News, 9/28/07, http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dc/

Singer also is the billionaire founder of Elliott Associates, the world's largest "vulture fund," whose employees have donated almost $230,000 to the Giuliani campaign, making it the top source of donations.

In light of this latest revelation, DNC Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement.

"Why wasn't Paul Singer's involvement in this dirty trick aimed at stealing the White House previously disclosed? Given his role in the Giuliani campaign, voters deserve to know the truth about Rudy's involvement in and knowledge about this shameful effort to disenfranchise voters."
