Fundraiser at Capitol City Brewing Company ...1 of 3 >>
March 4, 2003.  This fundraiser, originally scheduled for Politiki, was moved to Capitol City Brewing Company to accomodate the larger number of people who wanted to attend.  "We're doing events like this all over the country where we're asking folks just to give $50 to come and hear him speak," stated national finance director Stephanie Schriock.  "We're also doing a lot over the Internet," she said.  "Since the incredible speech at the DNC meeting, we went--before that we were averaging $1,500 to $2,000 a day over the Internet; we are now averaging almost $10,000 a day." 
Sen. Jim Jeffords (I-VT) said he was supporting but not, at least for the time being, endorsing Dean.  "First of all, he's the one that has had the courage to let everybody know where he stands on the crucial issue of war with Iraq," said Jeffords.  "I have know him just about all the years that I've been in public life just about, and he's a strong, formidable candidate.  I'm going to listen to the others too, but he's the only one that's really impressed me so far."
