Ralph Reed, former director of the Christian Coalition, touted himself as a member of McCain's 'Victory 2008 Team' in an e-mail that solicited donations on McCain's behalf. The Republican National Committee is hosting the fundraiser set for an Atlanta hotel Aug. 18.
A House investigative committee in 2006 found Reed interceded with the Bush White House to help some of Abramoff's clients. Reed's public relations firm also received $4.2 million from Abramoff to mobilize Christian voters to fight the opening of casinos that could compete with Abramoff's Indian tribe clients."
