Join Obama in Chicago

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com


From the Obama campaign:

I want you to be there with me on Election Night when the results come in.

We're planning a big event that will include tens of thousands of supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.
Version 1:
We're saving some of the best seats in the house for 5 people who have given to the campaign before -- and who decide to make a donation one last time before Sunday at midnight.
Version 2:
We're saving some of the best seats in the house for 5 people who make their first donation to the campaign before Sunday at midnight.
If you're selected, you can bring a guest, and we'll fly you in and put you up in a hotel for the night. You'll go backstage at the big event and -- no matter what happens -- you'll have a front row seat to history as we celebrate the supporters who got us over the finish line.
Version 1
Any donation counts -- whatever you can afford. Show your support at this crucial time with a donation of $100 or more, and you could join me on Election Night:
Version 2
Any donation counts -- whatever you can afford. Show your support at this crucial time with a donation of $5 or more, and you could join me on Election Night:

This movement for change has been a testament to the power of ordinary Americans coming together to achieve extraordinary things.

I look forward to having you there on Election Night.

Thank you,

Barack

Only problem with this is that there appears to be no way for ex-pats to participate :(

I couldn't resist. Neither could my husband! we both donated. We both know the odds (it's a waaaay long shot, I think our odds are better with the lotto, but!). But we can dream!

This is the first thing I've received that's really turned me off. Obviously it's meant to obfuscate whatever it is they're really doing. Transparency???

It's standard fundraising strategy. Ask small donors to donate small, ask large donors to donate big.
