Schwarzenegger Illegally Scalping Rolling Stones Tickets in Massachusetts
It has been reported by the group The Foudation for Taxpayers and Consumer Rights that Arnold Schwarzenegger is illegally scalping Rolling Stones Tickets in Massachusetts. Schwarzenegger recieved the tickets from Ameriquest, the group that is sponsoring the Stones tour. The company(Ameriquest) has also put about $1.5 million into Schwarzenegger's political career. Since taking office Schwarzenegger has raised $50 million from different groups. Ameriquest just recently had to pay $325 million to settle a suit, about unfair lending practices, with 30 state Attonery's General.

Schwarzenegger is charging $10,000 and $100,00 for the tickets. Those that pay $10,000 will get front row tickets to the concert. Those that pay $100,000 will get to watch the concert with Schwarzenegger in a luxury box. Massachuetts law states that tickets can only be resold at a small increase in their face value. This would mean that the stones tickets which FTCR valued at $450 should not be sold at $10,000 or $100,000. Democrats need to try to get this story out. To read the whole story you can go to the website www.consumerwatchdog.org

2. Great link! I love the Arnie quote and remember clearly when
he said it:

Early in his campaign, Schwarzenegger announced:


"Any of those kinds of real big, powerful special interests, if you take money from them, you owe them something."
And, "I will go to Sacramento and I will clean house. I don't have to take money from anybody. I have plenty of money."

5. Keith Richards?
He'd probably say, "What the bloody Hell you talkin about. Give us a cigarette."

6. Didn't Mick say something about this yesterday?
I thought I saw a post about Jagger saying something about Der Gropenfuhrer scalping tickets.

10. I heard an after report from a nurse that followed him to boston...
She was interviewed on the Christine Craft show (KSQR 1240am) in Sacramento, California. In short, it was a total bust because only three people were in Arnie's special section at Fenway Park; Arnie, a womean with dark hair, and a man wearing sunglasses (possibly a private dick or advisor). Nurse said he and company left before show was even over! Arnie is toast! LOL
