How much do you think this will cost?
I just received this in an email. I know these are always fundraisers, and I really don't have a lot of money, but I'd love to attend! I thpught they always put the price per plate on the invitation. They did on the onlyother one I ever received, but this one doesn't say. I hate to sound like a real dope by calling and asking. (I guess I don't worry about sounding like a dope on DU huh?) What do you think?

1. The poor and unprofessional typos should tell you
looks like a sham email.

4. What is up with the weird capitalization in the url and title.
I know it is minor but it look childish like some teenager provided the "cool" url to her facebook page.

5. No that was my fault. I copied the pic of the invitation from the email
and when I copied it, all the O's T's, and one or 2 other letters were capitalized for some reason. I manually corrected them on my post but apparenly missed some. I do think this is ligit because it came from the Democratic Party of Ga. and I am a member.

I sent an email to inquire about the price. I'll let you know what I hear. Somehow I doubt I'm going to be abe to afford going. Retired & living on SS ya know.

6. Sadly my guess is even being in the room with president is going to cost a grand.
Now if the DNC starts having harder time raising money maybe that goes down (whole supply & demand thing).
