I’ll match that, making $150,000. But full press corps.

Dear @PressSec, It has been 301 days since The White House held a press 
briefing. I will donate $75,000 to @StJudein your name if you will hold 
a one hour press conference *this week* with the full White House Press 
Corps. What are you afraid of Stephanie? Best, Don Winslow



As far as money in politics goes, this is preferable to hundreds of 
millions in billionaire television advertisements.

On the other hand, citizens should not have to pay for press 
availability from officials responsible to the public.
