Reply #7: But the problem is that it's not a quiet, low-profile dinner...

This is what I can't get past. The fact that this is an event for people who can afford
to give $30,000+ dollars to a political campaign. It's being done with such showmanship
and such glitz and ceremony.

It seems irreverent, during these tough economic times, to shine such a bright spotlight on
privileged, rich donors.

We all know that political campaigns have expensive dinners, where donors pay $25,000 a plate. However,
these dinners aren't held in stadiums with bright spotlights pointed on them. Those are usually
very low-profile events.

With so many people hurting right now, and with unemployment so high--and with many American citizens
incredibly concerned about money, corporations and the top one percent corrupting the hell out of our
political system--this fundraiser seems inappropriate and insensitive.
