"Democracy" in So California

[Marta Russell]

The below event is sponsored by California Americans for Democratic Action.

On Cooper's radio show today he announced that there was a private
reception at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club on Saturday (the day before the
event) that cost $125 -- he urged people to go.
Well I called to see what was up (as if the private reception at a private
club wasn't bad enough) and found out that prices varied from $500 to
$125.  The person taking reservations could not explain what $500 bought
you as opposed to $125.  Access to one or more speakers listed below of
your choice????
