Dayton Daily News:
President Bush has scheduled a swing through the Miami Valley on Thursday, March 27, including a stop at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.....
......The fundraiser is for Victory 2008, the Ohio GOP's segregated federal account for supporting Republican candidates in 2008 through voter registration, volunteer phone banks, mailings and other grassroots activities.
The invitation says that for $10,000 you can go to a private reception with a photo opportunity. The luncheon reception is $1,000. Those who can't attend but would like to contribute are asked to give $5,000, $2,500, $1,000, $500, $250 or "other."
I won't be attending that function. If I had an extra $5000, I'd give it to a charity that helps families and children. I certainly would not give one penny to have a photo opportunity with Bush or any member of the Republican Party. This type of fundraiser shows how out of touch the Ohio GOP and the National Republican Party has become. I think it is just plain obscene.
While the Republicans are drinking fine wine and chit chatting with President Bush, families in the Miami Valley and throughout the state are trying to figure out how to feed their families, save their home
from foreclosure, and put gas in the car. Once again the GOP and their backers demonstrate their inability to hear, see, or understand the plight of the regular American family.
