CREW is now able to document those meetings exactly. “The newly released records show Mr. Payne visited President Bush on four separate occasions: December 12, 2001; April 2, 2002; May 8, 2003; and December 15, 2004. Mr. Payne’s White House visits also included visits to Karl Rove on August 6, 2002, and December 18, 2003. A separate set of records from visits to the vice president’s residence shows Mr. Payne attended a holiday reception hosted by the Cheneys on December 10, 2002; an event at the residence on December 14, 2006; and a holiday party hosted by the Cheneys on December 13, 2007.”
The visitor logs also reveal almost 200 visits to the Bush White House by leaders of the religious right, 35 of which were visits with President Bush himself. The visitors included such familiar names as James Dobson, Gary Bauer, the late Jerry Falwell, and leaders of the Traditional Values Coalition, Concerned Women for America, the Family Research Council, and the American Family Association.
The largest number of vists were from the chairman and the executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, who between them visited the White House a total of 69 times from 2001 to 2008, including 8 visits with President Bush.
