Didn't know about it.

Didn't know ahead of time.

Dislike Paul Ryan.

Distance

Don't know anything about it.

Don't know if I can make it.

Don't know much about it

Don't know what else is going on that day that has any importance.

Don't participate in political events

Eh, not worth the time or money. Why does anyone go?

free ticket, good people...to remind me I am not alone in this state.

General admission tickets are much too expensive.

Have prior commitments

Haven't been invited or heard about it.

Haven't heard anything about this. Where is it and what time?

I am a centrist, I am sure I would not like the company there.

I am a little disheartened by the leadership of the Republican Party

I am not happy with the lack of conservative values of most of the republican party. If we ever intend to

win the presidency, we had better espouse something far different than the democrats. Right now, it's hard

to tell them apart.

I am sure it will cost some money and I don't have it.


10/17

I can't afford it.

I don't do political dinners.

I don't have $200 for a ticket.

I dont know anyone, personally

I don't know anything about it. What are the details?

I have a previous engagement I have a previous engagement, but would love to go sometime.

I have another commitment that day, plus financial considerations.

I have no desire to support a dysfunctional party hierarchy that cannot find pore pee from a boot with

directions written on the heel. I will continue to support the efforts of my county party and of individual

candidates.

I haven't received information about the dinner.

I know nothing about it. Perhaps the word doesn't get all the way out here to PG?

I may have conflicts with other civic obligations, but I will check my calendar.

I normally don't attend political functions.

I wasn't invited.

I will not give the party another penny until it rids itself of the good ole boys and gals who keep us inchains and divided.

I work 6-days a week, don't have the time

Idk about it

If I can get somebody to watch the kids ill go

I'll be in Florida.

I'll support the state party so I 've earned the right to criticize.

I'm not made of money

I'm on vacation

It does nothing to help elect Republicans locally

It has been made clear that MDGOP has no place for old school, constitutionalist, do the right thing,

members. ( see Dorchester Central Committee )

It's too far away for me to drive to.

lack of money

like the idea of dodging gun fire from the dinner to my car in Baltimore city....

Live on fixed income. Will need money for rain tax.

Location & time schedule are unknown to me.

Mainly the Cost. Have to work. Want to go, just can not afford it.

May be out of town

Might be out of town

No time or money.

Not a Republican

Not aware of it

Not sure I can afford it, plus not sure of my responsibilities at home for that night.

Not thrilled with Paul Ryan.

Trying to change plans so that I can attend

Trying to get out of this God forsaken state - don't really know what it is.

Until they prove the will spend money in MD and not send it out of state, my money stays local. I will

donate directly to the canidates.

Who has $250? Why celebrate a failure of a political organization?
