  1. Can you get Edward or Obama come to Orange County? Since democracy has become a commodity with a price on it, my reserve price is up to $100 to see them.
    I will not pay a penny for Hillary!

  2. The Foundation had Edwards here earlier – everyone is still working on Obama.

    Hope we can get them for a lower $$$ amount.
