Billionaires for Bush
Biography
Billionaires for Bush is a satirical political organization under the guise of supporting President Bush (and other Republican candidates) where members dress up in stereotypical wealthy attire in order to draw attention to various economic issues facing the country. Founded by Andrew Boyd in 1999 as "Billionaires for Forbes" (before Steve Forbes left the presidential race in 2000), the organization became "Billionaires for Bush" during the presidential election of 2000.
From the website http://billionairesforbush.com/ :
"Billionaires for Bush is a grassroots network of corporate lobbyists, decadent heiresses, Halliburton CEOs, and other winners under George W. Bush's economic policies. Headquartered in Wall Street and with over 60 chapters nationwide, we'll give whatever it takes to ensure four more years of putting profit over people. After all, we know a good president when we buy one."
