Gary Erlbaum

Gary Erlbaum is the owner of Greentree Properties in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, "who tried to rally Orthodox Jewish support for last year's failed reelection bid of conservative Christian Sen. Rick Santorum. He has been a contributor to Rudolph W. Giuliani's presidential campaign, but he has backed some Democrats, including Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.) and Rep. Nita M. Lowey (N.Y.)."

Erlbaum is one of several prominent conservatives funding Freedom's Watch, a new White House front group which began "a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to urge members of Congress who may be wavering in their support for the war in Iraq not to 'cut and run'."
