Report: Romney Already Selling Access to ‘Inaugural Retreat’ for $50K

You could call it faith. Or confidence. Or maybe it’s gutsy. What is “it?” It’s Mitt Romney reportedly already selling tickets to a “presidential inaugural retreat.” But exactly what, or where, that retreat would be is somewhat of a mystery.
The news comes from BuzzFeed, which tracked down a fundraising email:
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.
It’s still unclear what the “retreat” would look like or entail. The email says nothing about the actual inauguration and seems to hint that it’s something that could take place before the late summer Republican convention, not in January after the election.
You can read the email below:
From: “Richard Stormont”
Date: Apr 15, 2012 3:49 PM
Subject: Governor Romney for Presidentthis is very important for the future of our country. Please read it to the end,.
___
The campaign is now moving into its next phase with the formation of “Romney Victory.” This is a joint fundraising committee established between Romney for President, the RNC and a number of battleground fund states. Romney Victory will make it easy for a donor to make one contribution to fund various committees focused on the election. The legal maximum that an individual can donate to Romney Victory is $75,800. The campaign is asking people who are able to make a $50,000 contribution to do so today and become a “Founding Member” of Romney Victory. These donors will be invited to a special retreat with Governor Romney in late June in California and will have preferred status at the first Presidential Inaugural retreat as well as yet to be determined access at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August. [Emphasis added]
As for our Georgia efforts, Governor Romney will be returning to Atlanta on June 11th to participate in two Romney Victory fundraising events.
The first event will be a reception which will be 1K per person/2K per couple to attend and 10K per couple to get a photo with Governor Romney. 10K represents a maxed out couple, giving $2500 each to both the primary and general election. Please keep in mind that while we are now accepting general election funds, we are still raising primary dollars. Contributions made to Romney Victory will first go toward the primary election account and then once an individual has reached their $2500 limit, the general election account. We are forming a host committee for this event, asking each host to raise 25K. There will be a private reception for the host committee with the Governor prior to the event.
The second event on the 11th will be a private dinner at a home in Buckhead that is being co-chaired by Tom Bell, Fred Cooper, Bernie Marcus and Jeffrey Sprecher. This dinner will be for “Founding Members” of Romney Victory who contribute 50K.
On April 27th, Spencer Zwick, Governor Romney’s national finance chairman, will be in Atlanta to participate in a lunch with the host committee and co-chairs for the June 11th events.
We have two months to make the June 11th events a success and I am confident that we can do it.
We know there have been a number of people who have been standing on the sidelines waiting for a nominee to be selected. It is now clear who the nominee will be and we will be making every effort to reach out to all those who have yet to give as well as those who previously supported another candidate. We now all need to unify in our efforts to retire President OBAMA in November.
Please let me know that you will be participating in this critical phase of the future of our country. I would like to request that you take a moment and reply back to me as soon as possible as to whether you would like to serve on the Host Committee for the June 11th reception and/or if you are interested in participating in the private dinner on June 11th?
The future of our country is at stake.

On Saturday, Minnesota held three district conventions. Ron Paul swept all three – winning nine delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
And in Colorado, Ron picked up 12 delegates and 13 alternate delegates, as his campaign pushed a “unity slate” with Rick Santorum’s supporters that ended up with 20 total delegates – while Mitt Romney only walked away with 16 delegates!
The Denver Post even called it a “stunning upset.” Ron Paul wins Colorado.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 12:34pmPaul also got 149 delegates out of St Charles, MO to go to the state convention after the GOP fraud was stopped in its tracks. The GOP tried to pull a fast one, but Paul supporters are too organized and know the rules to the tee. Good luck in Tampa. If Romney gets the nomination, good luck in the general.

Ron Paul acolytes have worn out their welcome at many GOP events (to include Tea Party events), caucuses and many other political events with typical asinine and childish behavior as displayed on the internet.
My purpose is to bring this to light (you can call it trolling if you like), and show people JUST how idiotic your average Ron Paul disciple can be.

Romney “earned” his money by raiding companys, selling their assets and bankrupting them all the while collect fat bonuses for the jobs he shipped out the US and into China and other countries.
Romney is the one that is a threat to the Middle Class, him and Paul Ryan both seeking to gut social services for the middle class while continuing to give welfare to the wealthy in the form of tax breaks and loop holes. the Buffet rule is not for the middle class, it is for those that have gamed the system so they are not paying their fair share.
