Schwarzenegger Selling Access to Policy Meeting After Washington D.C. Fundraiser Today

"I will go to Sacramento and I will clean house. I don't have to take money from anybody. I have plenty of money;" and, "Any of those kinds of real big, powerful special interests, if you take money from them, you owe them something."

- As a candidate, Schwarzenegger told voters


SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Invitations to Governor Schwarzenegger's lunchtime fundraiser today at the St. Regis hotel in Washington D.C. include a seat at a policy meeting after the fundraiser for those who contribute $22,300, according to the nonpartisan Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR).

The fundraiser is co-hosted by the Dutko group, the lead lobbying firm for the pharmaceutical industry which has already contributed $367,200 to Schwarzenegger and has urged the governor to oppose legislation providing lower cost prescription drugs.
