The Anamosa Journal-Eureka in Iowa carried this story of how presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani planned a campaign appearance at a small farm in Olin, then canceled it after his people found out how poor the VonSprecken family is:
OLIN–Last weekend Deb and Jerry VonSprecken of Olin received a call from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s campaign office asking them if they would be interested in holding a campaign rally on May 4, after she had donated to his campaign.
“We thought it would be an honor and agreed,” said Jerry…
On Tuesday Deb received a call from Giuliani’s Des Moines office and was asked to call New York. “They wanted to know our assets,” she revealed, and added that she and Jerry have a modest 80 acre farm and raise cattle.
Later she received a call from Tony Delgado at the Des Monies location.
“Tony said, ‘I’m sorry, you aren’t worth a million dollars and he is campaigning on the Death Tax right now.’ then he said they weren’t going to be able to come,” Deb continued…
This is your reminder of who Giuliani’s real constituency is. Look for the story to be ignored by the national media, who are still infatuated with his heroic manliness.
