DescriptionThe last year hasn't been Sen. Conrad Burns's (R-Mont.) best.

Democrats have clobbered him over his connections to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, he has had to fend off rumors that he is considering retirement, and a recent independent poll showed his lead dwindling over two potential Democratic rivals.

So what better way for Burns to spend his 71st birthday than at a fundraiser sponsored by Cassidy & Associates -- a leading lobbying shop in the nation's capital?

Burns will do just that next Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET, according to an invitation for the event obtained by The Fix. The party will be held at Cassidy's offices in downtown Washington, D.C. To serve as a "host" for the event, a donation of $2,000 per political action committee and $1,000 per individual is required. Attendance at the event requires a $1,000 PAC donation or $500 individual contribution.
