REPUBLICANS FOR CHOICE PAC
Letter to the EditorSubject: Arianna Huffington’s Withdrawal From Governor’s Race
Date: October 1, 2003
Dear Editor:
I’ve known Arianna for years, but I was shocked and dismayed by her withdrawal speech. In fact, I was so horrified that even though I head a large GOP PAC, I have sent Arnold Schwarzenegger, by overnight delivery, the largest personal campaign contribution I’ve ever made.
To say she was now against the Recall runs contrary to Arianna’s reasons for running. A centerpiece of her run was “clean campaign money.”
It is well known that Gray Davis has been one of the worst abusers of campaign finance throughout his tenure. He has used the office to raise millions for his campaigns from special interest groups…with Bustamante at his side.
Further, Arianna accuses Arnold of being “controlled” by Pete Wilson operatives since he hired them. Who would she have him hire? Idiots? Outsiders who can’t win? These Wilson folks are the most successful moderate GOP operatives in California. It simply shows he’s smart.
I met Arnold years ago, through his wife, while they were on vacation. The questions he asked and statements he made in that non-political, personal situation, years before he decided to run, told me he would be a breath of fresh air for the GOP and women would benefit from his leadership.
Arnold doesn’t need my money or any special interest group… that makes him different from any other person in the race. He can’t be bought…he’s already rich and successful… and he will change politics as usual in California and in the GOP.
Sincerely,
Ann E. W. Stone
National Chairman Republicans for Choice PAC
