I just got an email for a concert/meet-n-greet with President Obama in DC on March 25.
It offers a chance to purchase tickets - at $250, $1,000, or $10,000. Now, I am a lifetime Democrat and fully support our party, but sending out mass emails like this just illustrates how out of touch we can be with most of the Democratic party, and the country in general. You see, the microbrewery I worked at closed in January, and I have been looking for work since then.
I think most of the people who received this email have more in common with me than with those capable of forking out the money for this meeting.
Why don't we instead have a lottery for a meet-and-greet, which would afford the majority of this party the chance to attend? I voice my opinion to my local, state, and federal representatives, which we all should do, but it would be nice to have the chance to do the same with people above them.
My RSVP is I cannot go.
