P. Ashdown (Dem Senate candidate in UT) holds benefit for hunger charitys

[grateful581]

I received this E-mail from Pete Ashdown today and I thought I would share it with everyone.

Subject: Feed the Hungry not Politicians

President Bush will be attending a fund raising dinner for my cash strapped opponent, Senator Hatch.

In response to this, I am personally buying dinner for up to 150 people at the Alta Club on August 29th at 6:00 PM. This dinner will be financed out of my pocket and will not draw from campaign donations. What I ask of the attendees to this dinner is to make a sizable donation to a charity of your choice that deals with hunger in America. I will have a list of suggested charities at the dinner and my staff will collect and tabulate and send the donations. No charity is coordinating with the campaign on this dinner, they are simply receiving the donations as designated by the attendees.

Senator Hatch, President Bush, Secretary Rice and anyone else are welcome to attend this dinner.

This is not a campaign fund raiser and donations to my campaign will not be funneled to this event or the charities. If you wish to make a donation to a hunger charity in response to this effort outside of the event on the 29th, please let me know.



This is a great idea. It shows what a wonderful and caring man we have running against hatch.
Hatch has all the money in the world to take on Ashdown and he still is having a $500.00 a plate fundraiser.
I am proud to endorse Pete Ashdown for Senate. :patriot:
