What's a mother for?
Former First Lady Barbara Bush used Mother's Day weekend to send out an E-mail to 1 million potential donors yesterday to drum up cash for her son's reelection campaign.

"With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I've been thinking about how proud I am of our children," Mrs. Bush wrote.

"And it's with a mother's pride that I'm writing you today to ask you to support our eldest, George W., and his re-election campaign with a donation of $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or $50."

Barbara Bush is among several members of the Bush family raising money for the campaign.

Others who are fund-raising include First Lady Laura Bush, former President George H.W. Bush and brother Jeb Bush, the Florida governor.
