Virginia Democrats are giving away tickets to Hillary Clinton's speech tonight

The Democratic Party of Virginia is currently giving away free tickets to an event featuring Hillary Clinton later tonight.

Clinton is headlining the party's annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner on Friday evening. Though the event is raising money for the Virginia Democrats rather than her presidential bid, it is considered an important campaign appearance for Clinton. The dinner is Clinton's first campaign stop in Virginia, a crucial swing state. It's also one of her first stops outside of the early primary states.

Tickets for the event are being sold for $30 and $125. However, on Friday afternoon, some Virginia Democrats received an email advertising "FREE TICKETS" to the dinner. The email was given to Business Insider by a source. It contained a promotional code to get $30 tickets to the event for free.

Jefferson-Jackson dinner: According to the internet, the dinner is named after Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who lived before the Civil War, not named after the persons you name above.

I am fully aware, thanks. But if liberals can co-opt the Confederate flag for use in their anti-white/anti-right campaign, I can co-opt these two Confederate soldiers for use in this thread.

Jefferson-Jackson day dinner

What's up with that?

Andrew Jackson was born in March and Thomas Jefferson in April.

Their day should have been months ago.

FWIW, from Wikipedia ...

Many state Democratic Parties have used the day to highlight local party leaders. For example:

the Democratic Party of Mississippi also honors civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, with a Jefferson–Jackson–Hamer celebration,

the Democratic State Central Committee of Connecticut holds "Jefferson–Jackson–Bailey Day" in honor of state Democratic boss and Democratic National Committee Chairman John Moran Bailey.

Florida Democratic Party renamed their key dinner event "Leadership Blue"

Wisconsin Democrats and Minnesota DFL have renamed their dinners the "Founders' Day Gala"

Future Democrats may know this fundraiser as Clinton-Obama Day (or Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama-Clinton Day).

For now, I guess everyday is a Clinton Day fundraiser.

Anything to get the paying saps into the door. The balance of the tickets they give away.

Place your bets on filling the seats with crackheads pulled off the street to fill seats.

Oh yeah. It’s no accident that she hasn’t had a legitimate press conference in 15 years. It was obvious early on that Hillary is a mess when she has to think on her feet. The queen asks the questions, NOT YOU.
