These days I get more political contribution solicitations than I do credit card offers....
I keep getting them from Mitt Romney, although I never gave to him and probably will pass since he and the President have enough of their own plus all those fat cat friends.
Then I got a local candidate solicitation for a $10,000 a couple soire later this month. I had already been to two events and frankly while I am concerned over the path of the Nation, if I had $10K, I would be patching my parking lot and getting a new roof on the house. I still wouldn't be doing the awning or the furnace this year. That would be another ten grand.
Real people have real problems and priorities.

Is that the fundraiser at the ranch? I appreciate they want to show that not all the big contribution dollars for Doheny are coming from outside the district, but $10k? That is about half the ANNUAL take home pay for most people around here. He needs to realize that not everyone has his kind of money. Those sort of solicitations should have been targeted to a very select few, not sent to the average folks. It made me feel that my money didn't count unless it was on that sort of a scale.
When I say this is how out of touch they are with there own base it's these high price tags,that say I'm right.....Low voter turnout this time around not sure who has it.I would still have to bet Mr.Owens.......
Juston's Take On Government, Mr. Owens holds HIGH PRICED fundraisers. Based on your rationale, it would be impossible for you to vote for him.
Try some reading comprehension boys. The price is $250 per couple.
If you have the funds and inclination you can opt to be a sponsor of the event for $1k
or join his fiance committee for $5k (or $10k per couple.)
Our (U.S.) campaigns are too damn long! I believe Canada has a three month limit. Ours has become a four year event. With a limited campaign time frame it could eliminate the huge waste of money and the pandering. It shouldn't take long to know your candidate.
