Hollywood Titans Rake in Cash for Wendy Davis’ Texas Governor’s Race
ABC News ^ | May 14, 2014 | By Arlette Saenz

Posted on 05/14/2014 9:07:34 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Some of Hollywood’s biggest power players are about to open up their wallets for Democrat Wendy Davis’s gubernatorial campaign in Texas.

J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg are hosting a celebration and fundraiser for Wendy Davis on May 22 in Santa Monica, Calif., the Davis campaign confirmed. The soiree will be hosted on the rooftop of Bad Robot, the production company owned by Abrams.

A donation of $1,000 will get you in the door, but to be a co-host, you must raise or contribute $10,000, while hosts will fork over $25,000. Contributions will be evenly split between Davis’ gubernatorial campaign and Battleground Texas, a Democratic political action committee aimed at making Texas a swing state.

Unless Abbot pulls a “clayton” this race is over.

Send all the money you want libs, the local media will smile.

A rich Hollywood liberal sucker and his money are soon parted.

Every liberal should dump all of their money into Abortion Barbie’s campaign. I enjoy seeing old money wasted on futile projects.

Fantastic news! More liberal money being used up and taken out of circulation. Excellent!

So I’m glad they’re pissing away their money for a gold-digging hoor (in my best Swedish accent). There is a moral price that will be paid, here on earth and in Heaven, for actively working for more abortions. Abortion Barbie isn’t all she was cracked up to be and turns out a liar, to boot.

Talk about beating a dead horse, these “titans” are pouring cash down a rat hole. Abortion Barbie will never be governor of Texas.

This is great. These idiots will toss their money into promotion of a “can’t win” candidate. That money will be spent in Texas, putting funds into the pockets of Texan businesses and workers. Thanks, Lefties!

Where’s Warren Buffett? It’s all about the Death Cult, I’m surprised he’s not there to write a billion dollar check in his first wife’s infamous name.

Lawsuits against Battleground Texas should begin in earnest. Force them to spend money defending themselves from frivolous lawsuits.

Quickest way to kill a democrat is to cut off their funding.

Just cause you make a ton of money, doesn't equate to being smart.

I think Abbot is smarter than ole Clayton.

I agree. I was just pointing out the obvious.
