Invitations were received this week for the Thursday kick-off reception for a certain candidate for Governor. The kick-off will be held in Knoxville at The Foundry. The cost will prohibit those everyday Republican volunteers/activists from attending and being a part of the kick-off. Because the cost is $1,000.00 per person. Also, you can write a check or better yet you can put it on your VISA, MasterCard or American Express. Oh, and by the way the money isn’t going to be deposited into a Knoxville bank as the address for your contribution is located in Franklin, TN even though the Treasurer and the Candidate both reside in Knoxville, TN.
so did you get an invite brian?
YES. I did. I will NOT be there.
I think it’s a political mistake to have this kind of fundraiser in these economic times.
It makes them look oblivious to the real world.
Republicans shouldn’t want to be seen that way right now.
It makes them look even more out of touch especially with the Wall Street bankers and their bonuses and bailouts.
