New Americans Caucus supposedly exists to welcome naturalized citizens into the Democratic Party, register them to vote, educate them on the importance of voting, and search for candidates at all levels of government. It scheduled a debate at Moravian College for the five Democrats running for Lt. Governor. Amazingly, it is charging $10 a head, even though many of these new Americans probably would have a difficult time attending even if there were no fee at all.
Now I would not mind a cover charge if the event were scheduled at a local business, but this is at a nonprofit.
This is completely tone deaf.
I refuse to provide any details.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I'd be careful on this one. Your buddy John is in bed with the chair of this group, which is another unlikely fit based on his stance on immigrants.
ReplyDeleteI assume they had to rent the space for the event. If the fee is intended to recapture costs, it is not too bad. If it is a fundraiser, that is not good.
ReplyDeleteMore clowns off the midway in a circus primary election.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a farce in motion.
Every one of them a clown.

ReplyDeleteThen ask for a donation. Ask the candidates to kick in. You don't charge people who may not be able to afford it.
You may h e missed the fine print. It is entirely possible that a Baebershop Quartet show wii break out.
