A chance for New Yorkers to let the puppetmasters hear your views. Wish I could be there with my "Billionaires for Tax Breaks" sign.

I wrote a few weeks ago about the three-day retreat for donors taking place in New York around the next presidential debate, and POLITICO's Anna Palmer has some fun details:

Mitt Romney's mega donors will come into close contact with some of the GOP's biggest names next week at the Romney Victory fall retreat Oct. 15-17 in New York City.

GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is slated to be a "special guest" at the kickoff gala reception and dinner at the Intrepid. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Donald Trump and Romney finance director Spencer Zwick are also expected to attend as special guests. The events are for Romney's highest-level donors and bundlers, according to a copy of the agenda obtained by POLITICO.

On Tuesday, the fundraising operation has put together three sessions for the donors at the swanky Waldorf Astoria New York hotel. The day kicks off with a "Campaign and Strategy Briefing" with special guests Rich Beeson, Ed Gillespie, Beth Myers, Neil Newhouse and Preibus. Session two is titled "Issues Facing America — Jobs" where former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez; Continental Resources Chairman and CEO Harold Hamm; Jimmy John's Franchise Chairman and CEO Jimmy John Liautaud; Way In Chairman and Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy; and Charles Schwab of Charles Schwab Corp., are listed as special guests. The third session titled "Make the Difference" lists Zwick as the special guest.

Donors will close out the retreat with a debate watch party with comedian and talk show host Dennis Miller.

Charles Schwab? I won't be investing in any of HIS funds, then

1. I will stay away from that part of the city.

2. I was in a fabulous fist fight at the Waldorf Astoria in the 80's, a bar mitzfah....

It's not "swanky", not anymore.
