From: "Cohen, David L."Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:33:19 -0400To: XXXXXSubject: INVITATION FROM SENATOR SPECTER, GOVERNOR RENDELL, AND MAYOR NUTTEROn behalf of Senator Specter, Governor Rendell, and Mayor Nutter, I am pleased toinvite you to the kick off meeting of the new Citizens for Arlen Specter Finance
� �
 Committee. This meeting will be held on Monday, June 22, 2009, at noon, at theComcast Center in Philadelphia. We will also supply a call in number for those ofyou who wish to attend, but cannot participate in person.Once again, we are calling on this outstanding group of Pennsylvania politicalfundraisers to step up and make a loud statement. As I have said before as we
�
 have raised money for Mayor and Governor Rendell, for Senator Casey, for MayorNutter, for the DNC and the DSCC, and of course for President Obama -- I do notbelieve there is a more effective political fundraising force in the nation. Atthis point, in this election cycle, the Governor and the Mayor have one majorpolitical priority ensuring the re-election of Arlen Specter to the U.S. Senate,
�
 this time as a Democrat. That goal is supported 100 percent by President Obamaand Vice President Biden, as well as the DSCC and the DNC.The first step down this path will be a wow fundraising event for Senator
� �
 Specter in Philadelphia this summer. As a sign of the national Democratic unitybehind Senator Specter, President Obama has agreed to attend this event as ourspecial guest. As is frequently the case with Presidential scheduling, all wehave been told is that the President will attend the event, that it will bescheduled for sometime this summer, probably in July, and that we will be thefirst people to know precisely when it will occur once the Presidents schedule is
�
 sorted out closer to the event.While the details are still being worked out, we will probably have a multi-tieredevent with a goal of attracting $500 contributions from young professionals,double max contributions from everyone we know ($4,800 a person this cycle), andpossibly additional party committee contributions. The event will probably take
� �
 place in Center City Philadelphia, although we are also still working on possiblelocations. We hope to have more details on the structure of the event andpossibly the location at our meeting next Monday.One request for this week. As you know, federal campaign filing deadlines fallquarterly, with the next deadline being June 30. As you know, this will beSenator Specters first-ever federal campaign finance filing as a Democrat. And
�
 one of our first priorities is to make it a memorable filing. Specifically, wewould like to generate a literal outpouring of financial support for SenatorSpecter in the week following our inaugural Finance Committee meeting and the June30 filing. All these contributions will be credited to the signature event withthe President this summer, but we need to put a special priority on fundraisingfrom June 22 to June 30. So our collective homework is to each think about aminimum of $5,000 we can collect in Citizens for Arlen Specter contributionsbefore June 30 some of us should be able to do better than that and some may not
�
 be able to generate a full $5,000. But if, on average, we can meet this goal, wewill raise a half million dollars for Senator Specter in the last week of thefiling period, and that will make the kind of statement this group is used tomaking.The Senator, the Governor, and the Mayor hope to see you next Monday. Please letme know if you are interested in this effort and if you can attend the Citizensfor Arlen Specter Finance Committee meeting at Comcast at noon on June 22nd.
