Romney Sells Inauguration Access, Nine Months Early - $50,000 a head


Saturday, April 21, 2012 12:27:AM

Former Governor Mitt Romney is already offering top donors access to a special "Presidential Inaugural retreat," planned on the assumption that he will be elected president this November.

The offer, in a fundraising email circulated by a top Georgia supporter to fellow Republicans and obtained by BuzzFeed, is one of several goodies offered to those who contribute more than $50,000 to the joint fundraising committee known as "Romney Victory," a program whose outlines were first reported by POLITICO.

Those donors will be named "Founding Members" of Romney Victory and invited to a California retreat with Romney and offered "yet to be determined access at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August."

They will also "have preferred status at the first Presidential Inaugural retreat," the email says.

The copy of the email obtained by BuzzFeed was forwarded by Richard Stormont, a former executive at the Marriott hotel chain, on whose board Romney sat.

Obama, has to beat this presumptuous, sliver spoon, forked tongue A grade asshole. The rethugs will try with all their might to steal this election. We have to fight with everything we've got, all the silly criticisms and nitpicking of the President must cease. We are up against a megalomaniac in Mittens. We must volunteer, make phone calls, knock on doors, whatever it takes to give Obama a second and highly deserved term!!!
