A Message From Dave Jacobsen

Dear Democrats,
 

Vice President Joe Biden will be in Tallahassee in 2 weeks, on Monday, February 6. The Challenger Center has been selected as the venue for a large gathering downtown. I'm helping Allison Tant and Ruth Bedell to fill it. 

 
 

Attendance tickets are $100 each.

 
 

I need your help filling the room so if you would please reach out to your list of progressives and also could get your warm body in the room along with a friend or two, we all would mightily appreciate it. We certainly don't want VP Biden coming to town and facing a bunch of protesting GOP dummies outside before coming into a less than full house!

 
 

Additionally, the first 100 to make donations using the link will be put in a drawing for lunch or dinner (depending on time of day) with Biden.

 
 

THANK YOU!
