Buy time with your MN rep through on-line auction

Access to your elected officials? There's an app for that - it's called money.

"A Republican committee in Minnesota has been caught creating an eBay-style auction site to sell access with politicians, including top lawmakers like Rep. John Kline (R-MN) and Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-MN), as well as State House Speaker Kurt Zellers (R-MN). With bidding starting at $250, the committee offered opportunities to “get up close and personal” with each lawmaker. The announcement for the auction was reportedly sent to area lobbyists."

After being caught by Common Cause, the Carver County Republican Party took down the website.
