Meet and Greet with Rep. Hank Naughton tonight in Leominster

[yanici]

Why hasn't anyone asked if this is "open carry?"

 

[atilla]

Not to worry, GOAL will stop endorsing him in late 2014 if that's the case.

thank god.

 

[Coyote33]

Here's how it came in the GOAL email:

Go Discuss!
Rep. Naughton is the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Public Safety & Homeland Security

 

[atilla]

co-chairman with deleo.

 

[Mike S]

Here's how it came in the GOAL email:

Here's a link to the entire e-mail with map to location link. Discuss 2A Legislation With Rep. Naughton Tonight in Leominster

 

[Coyote33]

Thanks. I couldn't find it on GOAL's page, and the link I had was really strange.

From Goal:

Please note: Rep. Naughton has contacted our office, he wanted to let us know that his office neglected to mention that tonight's event at Cristina's restaurant is a fundraiser, the minimum donation to attend is $100.00. According to his office he will not be available to speak to anyone not attending the fundraiser. The restaurant will be open for business otherwise.

 

[atilla]

HORSE SHIT!

 

[Mike S]

If you are planning on attending please see OP for important update.

 

[not new guy]

A+!

 

[ntomsw]

$100 to listen to him spew bullshit? No thanks. MA can keep him.

A+!

I love "minimum donation." We should still attend anyway, and donate nothing, but we'd probably sent away by the restaurant under the threat of trespassing...

 

[not new guy]

Break out the 2-piece NES horse costume. We could get two people in to ask questions for just $100!

 

[oldsoldier29]

Wait-he wants me to pay, to hear my opinion????? O want to go to this, but am not paying him a dime.

sent via carrier pigeon from a secret squirrel camp

 

[Bill Katt]

So, this suddenly went from a 'meet & greet' to a $100 a plate fundraiser. Seems legit.

 

[ntomsw]

Someone else just posted that this is pretty convenient, that as soon as some people here are going to ask some nice questions about Naughton and his relationship to GOAL, now all of a sudden it costs $100.

 

[KiloVictorTango]

Certaintly sounds like the event changed a bit when his office caught wind of us, probably watching NES and/or Facebook

 

[atilla]

this bullshit is UNBELIEVABLE.

if i had the cash to burn i WOULD go, and i WOULD be looking for some A+ goodness. this is meant to keep us undesirables out and to pander to those who are already aware of his agenda and willing to throw money at it. i was going to go to see what he was really all about, but actions speak louder than words.

i looked at his twitter feed earlier today--this was NOT mentioned there, either. still isn't!

Harold Naughton ‏@RepHankNaughton [5h ago]

Please join me tonight at Cristina's Restaurant on 314 Main St. in Leominster from 5:30 to 7:30!

 

[not new guy]

You could always just go there and hope to get an adjacent table. Or stand outside and protest/heckle.

 

[ntomsw]

Someone big mouth saw this thread on NES and maybe FB, and their plans changed. This is bullshit.

 

[drgrant]

I bet it costs $100 because he read this page on NES... and the other thread...

$100 a plate, who does he think he is, a fed-level rep?

The invite might as well say "Moonbats only, please... no others need apply."

Be interesting to spy by the door to see if they are really collecting the loot or was it to give gun owners the brush off.

Amazing how these politicians want to dodge everything. I am sure GOAL will be their on our behalf, and ask all the tough questions.

 

[01SVTvert]

Print up a fake check that states "not negotiable" like those ones you get in junk mail and fill it out for $100 and attend....... Problem solved.

 

[Mike S]

The restaurant is still open to the public, I called to make sure that was the case.

Give them a call and make a reservation - (978) 534-0849

 

[Apathesis]

Guys, just bring checks and stop payment on them.

Only costs $15 bucks. Totally worth it.

Or do the fake check thing I just missed.

as GOAL's only representation on the board i say that you attend in our place and make sure that 1. our concerns are addressed, and 2. we get the straight dope on his true agenda.

i am not giving this dude a dime. GOAL can and should be attending this anyway.

You can comment on the stories that he has posted though, right?

 

[not new guy]

And would he really be calling it his "Gun Violence Listening Tour" if he was approaching the issue with an open mind? That alone should knock him down to an A-.
