Unless I am mistaken, these are fundraisers, Dan, with an average price of $1,000 bucks a head. As far as I can tell, the hooting and hollering is for those who get to stand at the door. Do you want me to post the email was sent by the Bill Simon for Governor email alert?

Here's a clue...

Paid for by Bill Simon for Governor Committee FPPC #11233475

There is nothing wrong with asking people to stand in front of a fundraiser. It looks good for the cameras and that helps the candidate. What I expect as a minimum standard at FreeRepublic is to tell people the WHOLE purpose and nature of the event. If that isn't communicated clearly it isn't the whole truth. Further, those FReepers who might wish to attend and pay for the meals should be offered the opportunity so that they know how to dress and to bring their checkbooks.

Don't you want more paying attendees?

2:15 p.m. This one looks FRee to FReeping attend. If the Simon Committee pulls a fast one and locks-out supporters, FReepers will turn and run as fast as they can get away-- bait and switch does not work for me, either. I have no opinion about the others, but suggest calling the phone numbers and asking. Fool me once, shame on you,... No second chances.

I've got the campaign mailing right here, and it clearly isn't a fundraiser. It looks like a good old-fashioned whistlestop rally, with Bill Simon and Rudy Giuliani running up the state and stopping to rally the troops.

These type of events are pretty good. I guess he's starting at San Diego first thing in the morning, then going to Newport Beach, then to Sacramento, and then finishing up in San Francisco.

I'll be going to the Sacramento event myself...
