By all means go ahead and share it.It would be the first time you are on topic.

And on the outside chance that you really are that naive:
Google "Conyers, Rangel, Black Caucus, corruption" and then come back and tell us they have no connection

"his son filed a police report after someone broke into the Cadillac Escalade late Nov. 24 and stole two computers and 1,000 tickets to a hip-hop concert that he was helping to promote."

"Family members are allowed to drive the cars, but only when shuttling representatives to official business, said Kyle Anderson, a spokesman for the House's administrative committee."

"U.S. Rep. John Conyers says he's sorry, will repay government for son's use of congressional vehicle"

If I had said they were all corrupt because they are black, you might have a point.

That many tickets would net one about 300 seats at an average concert. Why would somebody need 300 seats at a concert?

Ah, because you are selling them?

If you had taken the time to read the last few entries on the thread you would have learned that the young Mr. Conyers was one of the concert's promoters.
