Ron Paul is raising money in New York City next week, with a $500-a-head fundraiser at the Union League Club on Monday, with two hosts who are in the financial services sector, according to this invitation.

In 2008, in Chicago, the cost for the private event was $1,000.

That's what Mitt Romney did. He raised huge amounts that way. The RevPAC would need to get in touch with wealthy people (which they are in the process of doing), and arrange the same thing Romney did. I'm sure that would encourage them to donate big
