Centre Daily Times | 10/07/2004 | Mike Gallagher to take on Michael Moore: "When conservative radio talk show host Mike Gallagher caught wind that Michael Moore was coming to Penn State with the help of student fees, he made on-air plans for a 'counter event' in Happy Valley.
Gallagher expressed outrage during his nationally syndicated radio show Wednesday that student funds were being used to pay for Moore's appearance. He vowed to come to Penn State to fund-raise the exact the amount needed to bring Moore to town and 'top it by a penny,' said Jason Hiatt, producer of Gallagher's show. All the money raised will be used to buy 'care packages' and other necessities for the soldiers in Iraq, he said.
'At this point it looks good now,' Hiatt said. 'It was not just an off-the-cuff remark.'
Moore has asked for about $15,000 in speaking fees. More than $30,000 will be needed to support his trip to Penn State.

By Wednesday afternoon, Gallagher's Web site, www.mikeonline.com, sported a link where people could donate to his State College fundraiser."
