If the Washington Post can do it, so can we!
For $20.00, The Groton Democratic Town Committee is offering lobbyists and association executives off the record, non-confrontational access to “those powerful few” — Chris Dodd.. maybe Joe Courtney, important members of the Town Council, Board of Ed, and RTM, powerful Town Committee members (some that head up committees), and an influential local blogger (well, local anyway).
Remember, “an evening with the right people can alter the debate”. Well, in this case it’s an afternoon with the right people, but the same principal applies. Imagine the return you can get on that paltry investment by being in the same room as Chris Dodd, eating cheese and crackers within spitting distance of several members of the RTM, all the time currying favor with the local blogosphere.
Of course, it’s up to you to find a debate that you want to alter. And good luck finding anyone who’ll talk to you who can alter it for you, or (in some cases) even understand it. But at these prices, we’re a steal (is that a bad choice of words?). We’re charging less than .08% of the Post’s lowest price. For that kind of bargain, you can’t afford not to go. Remember, we’ve been out of power for a little less than thirty years. That can’t go on forever, and we’ll remember our friends when the time comes.
So lobbyists and execs, mark your calendars. On July 25th at 4:00 PM, $20.00 gets you into the Mystic Marriott to see Chris Dodd, and meet the movers and shakers of Groton. Anyone who buys $5.00 or more worth of raffle tickets gets favorable mention in this blog, which is read by literally tens of people.
Oops, partial retraction: Unfortunately I have been informed that, in at attempt to “tone up” this event, a raffle will not be held at this particular fundraiser. Interested parties may make application to me directly. I’ll likely be at the front door, selling tickets.
UPDATE: Partial retraction of the partial retraction: There will be a cash raffle. We will be toned up, but not that far up.
