Fellow Nevadans:
I know this event is quite tempting with an all-star lineup and even a speech by our president himself. Please think twice (or 3 times) before buying tickets to an event where the proceeds go directly to the campaign of a dirty politician. If you support Obama (or even if you don't), you probably believe in transparency. Don't go to this event just to support Obama, because the money is NOT going towards anything Obama. It is going straight to Harry Reid's campaign fund.
I have drafted an interesting article discussing just this subject on beatreid.com. It's called "Party with Obama And Reid In Vegas" Located at: http://www.beatreid.com/2009/05/party-wi...
