Rock on
At least three different lawmakers are planning fundraisers around a Fleetwood Mac concert on March 10 at the Verizon Center: Rep. Allen Boyd, for his leadership PAC, Harvest Pac; Rep. Ellen Tauscher; and Rep. Joseph Crowley.
They’re asking for different contribution amounts for the privelege of bopping along to “Second Hand News.” Boyd is asking for $2,500 per PAC; Tauscher for $2,000 per PAC, $1,000 in individual contributions; and Crowley ditto what Tauscher said. That’s quite a mark up– I just did a search at Ticketmaster and found a ticket for a considerably cheaper amount, $167.95.
I wonder if there are any GOP fans of Fleetwood Mac out there? If so, we don’t have copies of those invitations. Perhaps the band is verboten ever since President Bill Clinton used “Don’t Stop” as part of his campaign. If you know of any Republicans planning to fundraise around Fleetwood Mac, please send the details on over.
Other recent fundraising events centering around concerts include an Eagles concert for Sen. Tom Harkin’s leadership PAC, To Organize a Majority PAC back; an evening with The Who to benefit Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Janet Jackson concert for Rep. Bennie Thompson’s Secure PAC, and a Celine Dion concert for now former Rep. Phil English.
