The Democratic Party of Virginia is currently giving away free tickets to an event featuring Hillary Clinton later tonight.
Clinton is headlining the party's annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner on Friday evening. Though the event is raising money for the Virginia Democrats rather than her presidential bid, it is considered an important campaign appearance for Clinton. The dinner is Clinton's first campaign stop in Virginia, a crucial swing state. It's also one of her first stops outside of the early primary states.
Tickets for the event are being sold for $30 and $125. However, on Friday afternoon, some Virginia Democrats received an email advertising "FREE TICKETS" to the dinner. The email was given to Business Insider by a source. It contained a promotional code to get $30 tickets to the event for free.

Jefferson-Jackson dinner-two slave owners?
FREE wouldn’t be good enough for me. They’d have to pay me to attend. A lot!
It’s all the federal employees and secondary contractors in Fairfax, Arlingon, and surrounding counties.
“If the beast is as popular as the state run media tells us, why are they giving the tickets away? “......
Good question. Looks like the question, “At this point what difference does it make” finally has meaning.
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate general during the Civil War and a Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.
Employing liberal "logic", this event had racist overtones and clearly should have been canceled.

Jefferson-Jackson dinner: According to the internet, the dinner is named after Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who lived before the Civil War, not named after the persons you name above.
Still, in the present tense climate that criticizes any Southerner who owned slaves, I would think that Hillary would avoid such a dinner to gain some black votes, because both Jefferson and Jackson owned slaves, I believe.
cause she has a vagina?
They need to offer money or maybe gift certificates. “Free” isn’t going to cut it.
Yes, demonRats couldn’t wait to cast their vote for the first “black” prez...they’ll do it again for the first “female” prez, just so they can say they did, qualified to serve be damned.
You are correct. Indeed they did.
We sold out the Maryland Red, White and Blue Dinner with Donald Trump speaking last week. Not sure how big a room Virginia Dems are trying to fill.

Disagree on that. I think the new cadence is the result of speech coaching to try and get her away from her normal screeching. Either way, her voice is annoying and what she says is, too.
Jefferson Finis Davis was an American soldier and
politician who was the President of the Confederate States
of America during the American Civil War.
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate
general during the Civil War and a Confederate
commander after General Robert E. Lee.
I wonder how federal workers will vote this time.
Recall that Barry O’Bama had to use the 1960s trick to get young people to show up at his rallies.
Give away a free concert (retail admission value $20-55 per ticket) and then hit them with the agit prop.
Allegedly.
well Shrillary and Obie are cut from the same cloth....
