About four dozen protestors gathered in the late-afternoon heat today to protest the House Republican fundraiser at 18 Seaboard tonight.

Across the street, at the restaurant, a steady stream of cars pulled into the parking lot at about 5:45. Three Raleigh police officers stood watch, but the protest was peaceful – though loud.

Protestors from groups including the AFL-CIO, TogetherNC, and Democracy NC chanted as cars drove by. “Buy a seat, sell your soul,” they shouted. “House for sale: what am I bid?”

As a BMW followed a Lexus and a Mercedes into the parking lot, one protestor groused, “At least they could’ve bought American.” Another shouted, "Hey, Tillis, where's my 27 percent raise?"
