Fred Fundraising

A couple of stories have come out indicating FDT's continued fund raising efforts. A brief AP blurb out of Birgingham, AL says that FDT will be there tonight at a $1,000 per couple fund raiser. That is a lot lower than his other events, but then again there is no indication on how large this event is supposed to be. Hopefully a little more on this in the next couple of days.

Bob Novak reports that Fred is organizing an event in D.C. for the last week of July--I'm not sure if that means this week or next week. Novak thinks that it is important to see how successful it is in bringing insiders into the FDT campaign--specifically how successful this event is will be a measure of how well Fred will be able to raise money going forward.

UPDATE:

NewsMax reports that the date of the D.C. fund raiser is July 30th. The price for the event is $1,000 per seat for an individual and $5,000 for a PAC. They are establishing a fairly low expectation for the event at $250,000. I think that is low because there have been probably three events that FDT has raised more than that.
