Subscribe to RSSPolitico has reported that Mitt Romney has sent an email to bundlers and large donors, asking them to participate in a summit for his son Tagg's investment firm, Solamere Capital, which the former Republican presidential nominee recently joined.
NBC News has learned the Solamere conference will take place from June 4-8 at Deer Valley's Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, Utah. But NBC has not confirmed Romney's participation.
Politico says that the cost to attend to attend the summit is $5,000. “In the span of four days, we will have a chance to hear from political, business and other thought leaders and spend time together enjoying a variety of outdoor activities,” Romney said in the email. “We are calling the event, Experts and Enthusiasts. As we only have capacity for a small group of people to be part of this gathering, invitations will be kept to a limited group of industry and thought leaders.”
Sources had told NBC that when Romney first accepted the job with Solamere -- also run by his campaign's top finance official Spencer Zwick -- he only wanted to be involved with advising on business transactions, not fundraising.

Post-election life is great for Mitt who enjoys the company of his fellow 1%. Mitt is glad that he doesn't have to ever mention the 47% any more.
No more complaining about the 47%. It's 51% now.
Citizen Bain is never part of 47% or 51%, or couldn't care less about them.
.
Mitt the Vulture's slogan: No Bain, No gain
Misspiggy: You had an impostor. A RWNJ. I love your post. Will ignore that real pig.
Willard: Once a conman always a conman.
Romney is an incorrigible promoter of the plutocracy.
This is for Lil Michelle:
plu·toc·ra·cy
(pl-tkr-s)
n. pl. plu·toc·ra·cies
1. Government by the wealthy.
2. A wealthy class that controls a government.
3. A government or state in which the wealthy rule.
LOL Amy! There's that word again!
Great word today, isn't it?
Will the Waitstaff will have their mobile devices confiscated before this "Summit" begins?
Certainly don't want another "unfortunate" 47% incident...
hey, Amy (#1.5)
Well, Amy, it's hard to put sense into Lil Michelle.
To Lil Michelle, plutocracy is a government of dogs (Pluto?), by dogs, for dogs?
Amy, cheers! You're "encouragable"!
You're so bad Amy....lol
Encouraging the incorrigible!...:o)
The incorrigible is also inedible.
Not for a cannibal, but for Hannibal
Hannibal the great general will consume the incorrigible.
Nonsensical?
ah, you gals miss me?
and hey, this just in!!

very bad week for Dems - Harry Reid even thinks so!
NO

Lil Michelle, we are doing just fine, with or without you.
But it's Friday, It's a comedy special of 'Lil Michelle Roast' today.
You'd think someone with an IQ of 162 would know how to link an article. Guess not.
well, my IQ certainly didn't help me in the NCAA brackets, Wisconsin lost. Oh well, can't link an article, can't pick the NCAA picks (missed 3 so far)... what will I do?
Picking up my new vette tonight, can't wait!
[Picking up my new vette tonight, can't wait!]
...does it come with a 162 IQ?
Michelle- didja go to Bowling Green, and watch 'em build it?
Shoot, Mickey, speaking of high IQ's- all this time, I thought 'incorrigible' was a kind of tin that farmers roofed barns with. Oh well....just call me 'CA'.
Nah, bought a black stingray that was on the showroom. looks sweet with the top down!
Nice wheels! Lil Michelle.
I have no doubt, staff phones will be thoroughly scoured and rinsed during the super-secret meeting. He wouldn't want son Tagg to get caught dissing the 99% as disgusting, poor, takers.
5K to hear exactly what from Tagg and his investment firm....Is this Solamere Company an off-shot of Bain?
Beware of Tagg, who might follow his grandpa George Romney and his father Mitt to run for President soon.
It is the Mormon offshoot of CPAC, hence known as CPACiPACiPACi-stan.
stan....Mormon meet Radical.........meet 999!
Needed that giggle! Thanks RedDev!
I wonder how many have asked to be removed from that list....
I was wondering the same thing.
He just bilked them out of lots of money, and now he expects them to fall for his false promises so soon!
Thanks for the LOL, RedDev.
Nothing like a little Herman Cain to brighten the day. I remember during the lead-up to the Iowa Caucus, answering Herman robo-calls "to join the Cain Train"...and then the local news editor's comment that the Cain Train had been derailed due to too many ladies on Cain's tracks.
It is advisable to steer clear of that 3rd rail - if it get's gummed up, it leaves everyone with a burning sensation (or as they say, it goes up in flames). No fear, I hear there is a silver bullet for that!!
Where'd they get the name TAGG? From the Palin book of Baby Names??
DBO . . . .
PRICELESS! :)
Mitt, have fun, don't forget to bring your binders full of women.
5,000 comediennes out of work, and you're making jokes? ;~D
Hard time will make real comedians better
They need just to hold on tight, by laughing at themselves first.
I wouldn't invite Cheney. We already know how he expresses his 'outdoor' enthusiasm. Of course, it would thin the pack - I say, bring him on!!
Red Dev,
What in the hell is a "thought" leader?
Weird expression...
It's kinda like Willard calling a park 'open spaces'!.....Still out of touch...but never has been in touch!
Northstar - very old and expired thinkers. They evolved from "I think, therefore I am" to "I thought, therefore I was" - rather fitting for today's modern McCain/Rove run GOP party, don't ya think?
RedDev,
Yes, the" expired" thinkers will feel right at home with the old money guys.LOL
They love living in the past with their thoughts rather than think in the present.
Thought leader reminds me of Mitt saying "aircraft windows" should open to let smoke out in case of fire! Or I was a "severely conservative" governor. Or, these cookies aren't homemade, did they come from 7/11?
Or like Biden saying that Giffords was "mortally wounded", right?
or like Bachmann and her understanding of science...
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.'' ~ Rep. Michelle Bachmann
thought leaders? Those are people thinking up new ways to exploit workers and cheap consumers.
thought leaders? Those are people thinking up new ways to exploit workers, cheat consumers, get out of paying taxes, lie to the public, increase the share the 1%ers take from the general economy, you know... thought leaders!
Oh yeah I know who you are talking about magyar27, the people that won the elections. So what are minions are they a majority of the electorate? Romney does not have minions then does he.
@Amy,
thought leaders?
Corporate speak for "Biggest Donors".
I guess Mitt thought, "Since those little people turned 'Job Creators' into laughingstock, we need a new word for 'absurdly rich'...help me out Tagg!"
This whole summit thing is nepotis-alicious.
Oh, great, just what the country needs, another Romney Vulture capitalist to clean up, outsource, and bankrupt what Bain and Mitt missed. One thing I know, IF I was asked to pay $5,000 to attend a seminar to tell me about an investment company, ask me to invest in it, I'd be questioning why it isn't free!
Bali,
I read the sentence to mean that the"thought" leaders will be giivng their thoughts to the money guys who bankrolled Mitt. it will cost them $5,000 a thought....
Adelson, Freiss, Koch will need more than just one" thought" leader to make any sense to these guys.
@North,
Maybe I could refine that a bit.
In RomneyWorld, a "thought leader" is someone who thought it was a great idea to give Mitt a lot of $ and will try to convince anyone who thinks it's a great idea to spend 5k to rub elbows with the Mittster to contribute even more.
Can we say "Ponzi scheme?"
Yup. Wasn't Tagg implicated in the ponzi scheme run by a guy in Houston, TX....Billions of dollars, that Mr. Sanford tricked out of folk. Sanford is now in prison!
yup! Funny, the mainstream media doesn't bother to report on Solamere's connection to ponzi schemers.
Thought leader = Bernie Maddoff.
Thought leader? Sounds kind of communist if you ask me, CA should be all over this.
Bali bob,
Thanks for the clarification!!
Romney World has to keep the cash coming in so they make up language among other things.....
@North,
Romney World has to keep the cash coming in so they make up language among other things.....
Yep.
They also have to make up the $ they blew on Mitt's failed campaign.
To all investors:
Be fooled once....shame on them
Be fooled twice.....shame on you
Frankly i would think florida swamp land is a better investment......
money,money,money,money,money,money,

money,money,money,money,money,money,
money,money,money,money,money,money,
Now don't forget that swamp land comes with all the burmese boa constrictor you can eat......lol
Mitt will try to force his eldest son Bagg off onto the GOP as presidential material/
LTC Rattus, USA. RET
Flip flomney,needs to go away
Will the Romney's ever quite begging for money.
This Mr. Mitt ROBB ME needs to go away forever; even his own CPAC (criminals posting as conservatives) did not want him, do not want him and will never want him. He needs to run into his cars, jump into the elevator's shaft and stay in that deep dark hole forever. LOL
