Attn: North Carolinians - Buy your way to elected representation

Despite the fact our Republic is supposed to be “of the people, by the people,” Congressman Patrick McHenry thinks he has a better idea: Let voters buy their way to elected representation and political power.
From Pat Go Bye-Bye we learn that McHenry is offering campaign contributors several “sponsorship” levels with various “benefits.”
Have $9,200? Well, be a member of McHenry’s “Congressional Circle.” You’ll get a semi-annual conference call, the McHenry Campaign Insider newsletter, a private weekend Washington, D.C. retreat, free tickets to all campaign events and free entry to McHenry’s annual Christmas party.
Don’t have quite that much cash to dole out? It’s okay — just fork over $4,600 and get the following benefits: tickets to two campaign events, free entry to McHenry’s annual Christmas party, a semi-annual conference call and the Campaign Insider.
Oh. Wait. You’re an average American forking over large amounts of cash for gas, utility bills, a mortgage and food? Oh, I’m sorry — You’re shit out of luck.

I think you’ll get a kick out of his Primary Opponent Lance Sigmon’s commercial- McHenry has a whole hell of a lot on his plate this year. Good riddance, little turd.
