Dallas Strip Clubs: Gingrich Strips Entrepreneur Award from Topless Club
Gingrich Strips Entrepreneur Award from Topless Club

American Solutions for Winning the Future, a conservative group chaired by former Senate Majority Leader Newt Gingrich, gave and then took away an entrepreneurial award it had offered to the Texas gentleman’s club, The Lodge. The Lodge features topless entertainment.
The award was scheduled to be presented at the October 7 awards dinner of Gingrich’s organization. Although American Solutions has declined comment, it has become apparent that notice of the pending award was mistakenly sent to club owner Dawn Rizos when they confused The Lodge’s parent company, DCG Inc with a company of the same name based in Virginia.
Ironically, in response to the announcement of the honor, Rizos had paid $5000 to join Gingrich’s Business Defense and Advisory Council. American Solutions says it will refund Rizos the $5000 plus the cost of an airline ticket she had already purchased to travel to Washington, D.C. for the banquet.
