Former Vice President Joe Biden is coming to Martha’s Vineyard on Friday for a special fundraiser to support Protecting Our Vote, a political action committee that strives to engage and empower the African American community.

His arrival on the Island comes as his former running mate, Barack Obama, is also on the Island vacationing.

Along with honored guest Biden, other guests include Congressmen James Clyburn (D-SC), Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Marcia Fudge (D-OH), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE).

The event will take place at an undisclosed residence from 1 to 3 pm, and admission is payable in contributions of $500 to $5,000, although there are no limits on contributions given to Protecting Our Vote.

The event address will be disclosed to those who RSVP.

  1. Don’t you love politics, Joe a man of the people well at least the people who can pay $500 to $5000. At some point the American electorate will get smart and elect someone who doesn’t charge money to go to his rallies.

    • Uh…it’s not a rally. It’s a fund raiser for an organization that “that strives to engage and empower the African American community.” All of this is written quite clearly in the article above.

      • It will be interesting to measure how much time Joe actually speaks about how to engage and empower the African American Community to an audience that can afford to pay $500 to $5000.
