To Help US Veterans Charity, George W. Bush Charged $100,000 - ABC News
not going to help jeb's presidential effort
of course jeb is not helping himself, insisting we need to work longer hours
and a look at jeb's current campaign:
Former President George W. Bush charged $100,000 to speak at a charity fundraiser for U.S. military veterans severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, and former First Lady Laura Bushcollected $50,000 to appear a year earlier, officials of the Texas-based Helping a Hero charity confirmed to ABC News.The former President was also provided with a private jet to travel to Houston at a cost of $20,000, the officials said.
The charity, which helps to provide specially-adapted homes for veterans who lost limbs and suffered other severe injuries in “the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said the total $170,000 expenditure was justified because the former President and First Lady offered discounted fees and helped raise record amounts in contributions at galas held in 2011 and 2012.
