Dean to host fundraiser for Shea-Porter

During his trip to New Hampshire, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean will participate in a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter.

The fundraiser is set to take place on October 13 in Manchester at the home of Bill and Kathy Gillett. Earlier in the day Dean will visit Keene State College to encourage college students to register to vote.

"From our journey in 2004 to now, you have been the backbone of the New Hampshire grassroots politics. You have been such tremendous supporters of mine and I am now asking you to support my friend, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter," Dean says in an e-mail to Shea-Porter supporters.

According to the fundraiser invitation, for "$25 plus a promise of 3 volunteer hours of your time" a contributor will be labeled "grassroots" and a $497 contribution comes with the label "keep us on the air" and the donation "will pay for one local television commercial."
