TI7693Three hundred people who love freedom more than lasers will join forces with Gov. Tim Pawlenty at his new leadership committee’s first fundraisers in Washington, D.C. tonight. T-Paw’s Freedom First PAC is hosting a low-cost, pretzel-themed gathering featuring U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann ahead of a $5,000-a-plate dinner at the home of lobbyists who used to live in Minnesota.

The Freedom First PAC will hold its first event in Pawlenty’s home state on Nov. 4 in downtown Minneapolis.

That’s the same day proposals are due for revamping the PAC’s website, with plans for lots of mass e-mailing as well as marketing some Freedom First merch.
