Romney Fundraiser in Kochs Southampton Home Draws Protest

.

.


July 9 (Bloomberg) -- Protesters unfurled a Koch Kills banner and shouted shame on you as wealthy donors to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney rounded a corner in Range Rovers, Denalis and other luxury vehicles on their way to a fundraiser at the Southampton, New York beach house of David Koch, an energy billionaire.

.

Details about yesterdays $50,000 per-person dinner were spare. Brothers David and Charles Koch closely guard their privacy and prefer to spend their political dollars through non- profit groups that dont disclose their donors -- even as theyve publicly stated a desire to oust President Barack Obama.

.

Obama and surrogates in battleground states will contrast the presidents and Romneys approaches toward the middle class with a series of events this week, according to an Obama aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. Obama plans a White House announcement today calling for a yearlong extension of the Bush- era tax cuts on annual earnings of less than $250,000, the aide said.

The Koch event was one of a trio of fundraisers in the Hamptons for Romney yesterday. Earlier, the candidate attended a lunch at The Creeks, Ron Perelmans 57-acre East Hamptons estate. Perelman is chairman and chief executive of McAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., which owns cosmetics maker Revlon Inc.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican, was a featured guest at the $5,000-per-person lunch.

Andrew Sabin, president of a precious-metals company and co-host of the Perelman lunch, told the New York Times the three fundraisers were expected to raise $3 million to support Romneys candidacy.

It was the gathering at the Koch home, which has an assessed value of $18 million, that attracted the organized protest.

David and Charles Koch each own 42 percent of closely held Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Industries, have a combined net worth of $70.8 billion, and are the seventh and eighth richest people in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires index.
