The asking price for a ticket to a "family photo reception" is $10,000, according to an invitation to the event. The invitation specifies that there may be a maximum of six guests in the photo."......
There’s not many people in this political world now, that I would even consider paying money for a photo. Newt Gingrich, though is one of my favorites. Newt is a national treasure.
So nice to have leaders so “in touch” with the “commoners”.
With Newt? I’ll take 2!! :-)
Nothing wrong with Newt using a little innovation to raise money for his campaign.
more selective outrage by the media.
The ineligible, backstabber patsy Romney:
There is always a cost.
For example, I was promised that IF we attacked Gov. Palin
and her little children, and threw the 2008
election to Obama and the DNC, that then, as MY reward,
I, I, I, would be the next GOP candidate, and all America
would bow down and pray to ME! to ME!!!!!'
FLASHBACK:
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided
to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
$50 isn’t bad. Even I’d pay that.
I call Bull! My family has had 3 photos with him in the last 6 months, at different campaign events, for FREE. He worked the crowd and the lines for more than 30 minutes, taking pictures with anybody that wanted one. Standing beside him waiting for him to autograph my signs (for free) we heard him say, time after time, to people in the line “do you want to take a picture?”
Maybe in a setup campaign fundraiser this is happening, just like the $10,000 per plate “dinners” that other campaigns have. But in regular campaign events, NO.
