Did you receive an invitation to Cornyn's Texas Ball

Check page six of the invitation.

But guess who's hanging on to the cash? Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who took slightly less than $20,000 from Stanford, and Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), who received about $41,000, according to local media reports.

Cornyn "believes in the presumption of innocence," his office told the local Texas TV station that inquired about Stanford. I guess that means Cornyn's also not giving back the $50,000 Stanford gave to underwrite the Texas State Society's Black Tie and Boots inaugural ball last month, when the GOP senator chaired the society.
