BREAKING NEWS: Rosenberg Raises $00,000,000.00 in First Quarter

New York -- Bucking political convention, potential Presidential candidate Gregg Rosenberg is refusing to accept any and all campaign contributions. "My opponents can spend their time and energy focusing on money and fundraising; my focus is on the American people and making their lives better," Rosenberg declared at recent town hall meeting in Memphis, Tennessee. “I'm modeling my Presidency after George Washington. He didn't do any fundraising and neither am I."

During the first quarter of 2007 Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Mitt Romney, Rudolph Giuliani, John Edwards and John McCain together have raised over $100 million. Asked if thought he was putting himself at a disadvantage, Rosenberg said, "I'm not interested in taking money out of the American’s wallets; this campaign is about helping put money IN American's wallets," Rosenberg said. "Everywhere I go people offer to contribute money to my campaign and I say no thank you, just remember to vote Rosenberg on November 4, 2008."

Rosenberg said he would not accept federal funding and questioned why his opponents who are career politicians failed to fix campaign finance reform. "I refuse to take campaign contributions because my campaign is about giving back to the American people. The last thing we need is more television commercials, more junk mail or more people calling during dinner." Around Rosenberg’s campaign headquarters the only kind of PAC that is discussed is whether Ms. Pacman is a better game then Pacman.

Rosenberg’s grassroots campaign is focused on raising ideas not money. "I'm not interested in raising $300,000,000. I'm interested in meeting 300,000,000 Americans,” Rosenberg said. “This campaign is not powered by dollars; it’s powered by the American people."

For those critics who question Rosenberg’s fiscal policy he remarked, “I love capitalism and am a fan of the free market. That being said, to all the corporate donors, PACs, lobbyists and interest groups, this campaign is not for sale!"
