Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, has recently come out saying that he knew nothing about and did not authorize his political action committee to offer meetings with him and his staff for donations over $10,000.

In fact, if you donated $100,000 you were promised a private dinner with the Democratic governor and his wife. Really, do you think the PAC could offer a private dinner with the Democratic governor and his wife without them knowing about it?

But then again our governor has history of selling access to our elected officials. Remember the Clinton Lincoln Bedroom deal where for the appropriate donation you too could spend time in the White House and our elected officials?

According to the Washington Post, at least 40 people who were bundlers for

Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and four people who contributed to President Bill Clinton in exchange for overnight stays in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House, have donated to Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign.

I can only imagine how much attention my email and comments, with no donation attached, will get when my Democratic governor or Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine see it in their inbox.
