Romney plans Aug. 23 fundraiser in Minnesota

By Joe Kimball | 08/08/12

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has scheduled  Aug. 23 fundraisers at the Lafayette Club in Minnetonka Beach and a Shorewood home.

The invitation highlights three hosts: former U.S. Sen. Rudy Boschwitz, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman.

Contribution for a photo reception at the club: $10,000 per couple. General reception contribution: $2,500 per individual.

To attend the private reception at the Shorewood home later in the evening, individuals have to raise or contribute $50,000 per couple.

Contributions to Romney Victory, Inc. are not tax-deductible, the invitation notes.

Romney's Aug. 23 Minnesota trip comes just four days before the Republican National Convention starts in Tampa.

I bet Romney is stopping by to thank Minnesota property tax payers for paying the bills for his millionaire Minnesota contributors, so he could buy air time spread spurious lies about the President, his legislative initiatives, foreign policy, and historical facts.
