U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers will return to Rocky Mount this week to discuss her work on Capitol Hill regarding national health care reform.

“The hundreds of businesses and industries represented by The Chamber and our organization are on record stating that health care in the workplace is of the utmost interest to them,” Skojec said.

Tickets to the legislative forum are $20 per person, and tables for eight are $150.

Wow, this isn’t even a fund raiser unless it’s incognito. For what I can find it seem that money might be going to these two groups,, Golden East SHRM and The Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce.

Via Wikipedia, “Renee Jacisin Ellmers (born February 9, 1964) is the U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 2nd congressional district. She is a member of the Republican Party. Ellmers defeated seven-term Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge by 1,489 votes, confirmed after a recount.”

So the Republicans want you to pay them for the right to see them and to meet with them.I guess this their recession plan.
