In 1959, Fred Malek was questioned by the police for his collusion in beating a dog to death, then skinning and barbecuing it. Now, he's hosting Ann Romney's birthday fundraiser.
You might think that dog slaughter would be the end of someone's political career, but it was only the beginning. Malek went on to work for Richard M. Nixon and act as National Finance Co-Chair during John McCain's bid for the white house. Malek's had a long and illustrious run as a Republican behind-the-scenes man.
It's a little surprising, considering presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's bad reputation amongst dog lovers, that he would continue to collaborate with someone like this. A few months ago, it emerged that Romney made his dog Seamus ride on top of the family station wagon for twelve hours in tortuous summer heat. Despite the bad press he got over Seamus, Romney has agreed to allow a known dog abuser to raise money for the Romney campaign.
Tell Romney to cut ties to Malek immediately!
We the undersigned think it's time to rehabilitate your reputation as a terrible dog owner. And we think you should start by accepting no contributions raised for your campaign by Fred Malek, a man implicated in the cruel beating, skinning, and barbecuing of a harmless animal that could not defend itself. Distance yourself from this horrible man!
