Democratic fund-raisers, for example, are instructed not to convey the impression that contributors can influence government actions or policy (which is already illegal), and are advised to be careful screening guests who are invited to White House events (obvious). The 'new' guidelines looked especially thin after the release Friday of the Ickes memo, which directly links specific perks, such as White House visits and seats on Air Force One, to raising a specific amount of cash.
