An upcoming fundraiser with Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin will cost up to $10,000, according to the event invitation (PDF) obtained by the Minnesota Independent. The April 7 fundraiser will be held in downtown Minneapolis at the Hilton Hotel following a rally at the Minneapolis Convention Center, which is open to anyone who promises to volunteer for the Republican Party of Minnesota.

A private reception and photo opportunity costs $10,000 per couple. For everyone else, a general reception and dinner will cost $500. For each donor, the first $2,400 will go to Bachmann’s pre-primary campaign. The next $2,400 will go to her general election campaign. Proceeds beyond that will go to the Republican Party of Minnesota.

It’s time to exile Palin – so the rest of us can stop threatening to move to Canada:

$10K? Who spends $10K to go to a political event?

No DFL’er can do that because we are honest and do not cheat others out of their money. Only those crooked Republi-thugs can afford to spend that kind of money.

I went to see our President for free. Why does this bimbo need to charge to go see her? Why can’t Minnesotans get in for free?

For all those who left these stupid comments;

1. Barack Obama just walked all over our constitution with a trillion dollar “Mandatory” Healthcare bill! We need jobs, not healthcare!
2. Barack Obama is going to try to pass Cap and Trade that will increase our taxes to the point we will be paying 50 percent of our income to the government.
3. Barack Obama is going to give Amnesty to all illegal immigrants, and allow their families to come here in return for votes because any sane American is not going to vote for him!
4. Barack Obama is a communist who is going to destroy America and everything it was founded on.

So go back to your uninformed worlds and keep putting your hands out for your leader to provide everything for you, instead of having the balls to see this man is a Socialist!
