It will cost $15 to ask Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) a question in person during the August congressional recess.
The House Budget Committee chairman isn’t holding any face-to-face open-to-the-public town hall meetings during the recess, but like several of his colleagues he will speak only for residents willing to open their wallets.
Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.) is scheduled to appear Aug. 23 at a luncheon gathering of the Arizona Republican Lawyers Association. For $35, attendees can question Quayle and enjoy a catered lunch at the Phoenix office of the Snell & Wilmer law firm.
And Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.) took heat in Duluth this weekend for holding private events in his district’s population and media center — including a $10-per-head meeting to be hosted next week by the local chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which on its invitation notes that the organization “supported Chip in his stunning upset over longtime Congressman Jim Oberstar in the 2010 election.”

All politicians in Congress should be having open to the public town hall meetings. Doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican, this is wrong.
$15 ? Not bad.
To have dinner with Obama ? $28,000/plate.
$35,800 per couple, but that included a concert as well. For another grand you could have had your pic taken with the pres, the TOTUS.
The $15.00 admission tab will help a little to keep the kooks and the wierdos out of the Congressman's hair, ie the ones in the audience from the faarrr Left that were baiting Mitt Romney last week. The close friends of the boys frolicking in the NYT's all male conga line are gearing up for a nasty fight in 2012. Take off a Liberal's mask and you'll find a pervert: Little Anthony Who Tweets His Wiener, his mentor Chuck Schumer, whom its rumored prefers young men and boys, the former head of the Georgia ACLU who's now doing time for having pictures of the little kiddies engaged in some not so cute and cuddly activities stored on his computers hard drive, ditto for Senator John Kerry's executive assistant who was the Senator's staunchest supporter during the Swift Boat Veterans assault on the Senator during the '04 campaign.
