Hi Starchild,
You are right again! I am perpetually bewildered by the actions of
politicians. I guess my comment was prompted by what I thought Phil
said at the LPSF meeting, that the intention of this particular
fundraiser he was describing was to raise funds for the LP. But, I
suppose the initiators of this event could redefine their objectives
if they wished.

Marcy,
Maybe that's because you're not a politician -- they go to
each
others' political fundraisers all the time. But we could also make
it
more welcoming by doing as I suggested below and donating some of
the
funds raised to a speaker or some purpose they're associated with,
such as the SF Taxpayers Union in Ed's case.Love & liberty,
