Clinton targets young voters with new fundraising group

[Lodestar]

U.S. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton launched a bid on Thursday to draw young voters and small donors to her campaign, targeting the strengths of her rival, Bernie Sanders, as she looks ahead to the general election.

Dubbed "for45" - for Clinton as the 45th president of the United States - the group will offer associate level membership for as low as $250, according to an invitation seen by Reuters for an April 25 Philadelphia event.

"We will have an opportunity to fundraise and host low-dollar events, speaking to what we are passionate about and why we support her," said Akilah Ensley, a 32-year-old Clinton supporter planning to join the group. "It's important that we engage."

The group held its "kick-off" conference call on Thursday, featuring the Clinton campaign's finance director, Dennis Cheng, other campaign officials, and actress Lena Dunham, according to an invitation to the call.

The group includes two other tiers, according to an information sheet seen by a "member" level with minimum fundraising of $2,500 and an "advisor" level for raising at least $10,000

1. I guess they've given up on that cheapskate Maddi.

But if you can put the arm on enough friends to reach $10,000, maybe you'll get to sit at the head table with Justin Bieber. The 8x10 glossies (suitable for framing, frames not included, genuine simulated autograph) are still gonna cost ya, though.
