I recently RSVP'd to this event showcasing the 3 Republican candidates for Secretary of State. The initial inviation was to everyone to attend. After I RSVP'd, the event became by invitaion only. They won't even show who is attending to others who are coming. Is that transparency? Sounds like Dick Cheney and his energy meeting to me. Shouldn't events like this be open to everyone in the state, since these people are running for statewide office? Why do Republicans only want to talk to Republicans? Don't they realize they will never win an election that way? What are Michelle McManus, Anne Norland and Cameron Brown trying to hide?
