My Left Nutmeg has the numbers from the war criminals club fundraiser for Cappiello..and the numbers are lower than what the state GOP was pitching to the press.
The 48 Hour and Pre-Convention Reports are up, and I thought it was worth pointing out that at least someone paid some travel expenses in connection with the Bush/Kissinger fundraiser: see here for the Slush Fund's expenditures.
By the way, the fundraising total for the Slush Fund and Cappiello's committee add up to:
*$40,200 of these contributions are also counted in the 4/22 "Committee to Elect" 48 Hour Report.
This includes a $13,814 in-kind (Mrs. Kissinger graciously donated some food), and $7,000 from PACs that appear to be unrelated to the event.
There were 7 donors who gave enough to get their photos taken with the president (Thomas Reynold, GS Gilbert, Tillie Laird, Jon Manafort, Jack Orchulli, Steven Meyer, and US Ambassador to Ireland Thomas Foley), and 145 donors who paid the $1000 ticket fee. 26 additional people (plus the Washington RTC) donated between 50 and 900 dollars each.
04.25.22 (RADIO): WSHU Latino group call on Connecticut lawmakers to open a Danbury charter school
06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
