Dean and Gore to celebrate New Years on Dec 30
2003-12-29
EFL
...It’s not too late to join the countdown to Election Day! Join us
[the big event is a conference call - oh wow, be still my heart]
on December 30th for our biggest House Party fundraising event EVER. It’s the night BEFORE New Year’s Eve, so plan to invite friends, family, and Dean supporters to your home to get a head start on the New Year as we count down 311 days
[I guess if they had the event on Dec 31, it would have been only 310 days and they would have raised about 0.3% less per mini party]
to the general election.

News Flash: Vice President and Tipper Gore will join us for this special event and will be introducing Governor Dean on the conference call... How much money do I need to raise? To qualify for the conference call with Governor Dean you need to set a minimum goal of just $311. If you raise $622 or more, we’ll send you a "New Year for America: Dean in 2004" mug. If you raise $1,311
[shouldn’t this have been $1,244 or $1,555??]
or higher, you’ll qualify for an extra-special host bonus. -
but then how to you qualify for double plus super duper host bonus -

Remember, you have to ask them to supersize it...

#9  It's only fitting that Dean have Al on for a conference call. After all Al Gore invented the conference call. And the telephone too!

near as I can tell, the Q&A conference call starts at 930pm EST. So it would be hard to be asleep by 800pm EST unless you started reading "earth in the balance" at, oh, say 758pm.

#7  I bet this is all a big tupperware scam! Who want's to Party with Al Gore and Dean on New Years eve? You'd be asleep by 8:00P.M.

#6  to paraphrase a song by Pink: "I'm coming up so you better get this party conference call started!"

just doesn't have the same pizzazz...must be that famous "reckless" Gore charm?

#5  Partying with Howard and Al on (almost) New Year's Eve! What a thrill! About the only other place I might want to be is.... HELL!!!

#4  I think a lot of people would pay money to be able to get out of listening to Al and Tipper on a phone conference call. Say, maybe that would be an idea for another fund raiser.

#3  "our biggest House Party fundraising event EVER."

What is this, Al Gore channelling Natalie ("the Gnat") Lileks? "Oh, Tipper, this'll be the best fundraiser EVER!"

#2  Maybe if they had some Longaberger baskets or Pampered Chef reps at this party...
