Giuliani accused of using September 11 to aid party
Oliver Burkeman in New York

Relatives and colleagues of the World Trade Centre victims have condemned New
York's former mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, for agreeing to speak at a $2,000 (£1,400) a
head fundraising gala for the Republican party, which they say exploits the memory
of September 11.
The dinner, on March 5 at the Hilton Hotel in Washington DC, will be entitled A
Tribute to America's Heroes - but its purpose is to raise at least $5.5m for the
national Republican congressional committee through the sale of more than 2,000
tickets.
Jack Ginty, the vice-president of New York's uniformed fire officers' association,
called the event "a misuse". "Giuliani is a hero for what he did for this city, but I
don't
want people trading on that," he said yesterday.
"They're trading on an event in which we lost 343 men."
Mike Cartier, of the relatives' group Give Your Voice, told the New York Post it was "a
shame that people are using September 11 for an underhanded reason, to
propagate their own agenda."
The Republican party professed surprise, arguing that "America's Heroes" were
many and various. "Are you telling me that Giuliani isn't one of America's heroes for
what he's been doing for years as mayor?" the Republican party spokesman, Carl
Forti, said.
"For someone to just assume that this is in any way related to the events of 9-11 is
absolutely outrageous and ridiculous."

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not

not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
