Hunter,

Hope you guys are doing well, and that Naomi is off to a good start at college…. It’s such a change in the house when one leaves.

Hey, I have to tackle a piece of unpleasant business.  The tax lawyers for the VP Residence Foundation have concluded that since the Cheney folks last raised money in 2007 and not 2008, we actually have to have some incoming funds before the end of this fiscal year (i.e., before 9/30/12 – next week) to remain eligible to be a “public charity.”   It’s not much – we need to raise a total of $20,000 – so I’m hitting up a few very close friends on a very confidential basis to write checks of $2,000 each.  We need to keep this low low key, because raising money for the Residence now is bad PR – but it has to be done, so I’m trying to just collect the 10 checks of $2,000, get it done in a week, and then, we can do an event for the Residence Foundation after the election.

Is this ok?  Let me know.  If so, send your check (payable to the Vice President’s Residence Foundation) to:
