Did you get your ticket for the Obama acceptance speech?
According to the latest on the Barack Obama Big Show aka Acceptance Speech in Denver, http://cbs4denver.com/politics/dnc.tickets.convention.2.797469.html, half of Invesco Field at Mile High will be filled with Coloradoans. The local news is reporting that the criteria for a “free” ticket was volunteering to work on the Obama campaign wasn’t a requirement is only telling half the truth.
I have it by reliable sources (someone I know applied for a ticket) was told that they would need to put in 6 hours of volunteer time or make a contribution to the Obama campaign. I guess it just goes to show you, you can’t get anything for free. I thought “free” meant “for nothing.” That means no pay back or volunteering – just show up and they let you in.
As a result, my reliable source is not going to show up for the acceptance speech. I wonder how many other people will be doing this too? Tune in on August 28th to see if Invesco Field at Mile High is filled with 70,000 people or maybe the DNC will digitalize the crowd – just ask the Chinese how they did their opening ceremony.
Until later,
Linda
