Friend --
I wanted you to be the first to hear the news.
At the Democratic National Convention next month, we're going to kick off the general election with an event that opens up the political process the same way we've opened it up throughout this campaign.
Barack has made it clear that this is your convention, not his.
On Thursday, August 28th, he's scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.
Instead, Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.
It's going to be an amazing event, and Barack would like you to join him. Free tickets will become available as the date approaches, but we've reserved a special place for a few of the people who brought us this far and who continue to drive this campaign.
If you make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to fly to Denver and spend two days and nights at the convention, meet Barack backstage, and watch his acceptance speech in person. Each of the ten supporters who are selected will be able to bring one guest to join them.
Make a donation now and you could have a front row seat to history:
One cannot help but wonder where the Thomassons are.
This has the smell of Linda Bloodworth and her husband all over it.
LOL. Sure it is.
This is sicker than calling the Cowboys “America’s Team”!
He need not accept the nomination for me.
Obama: Get the 75,000 assembled and >then< you can kiss my $ss.
He might be surprised at a lower than expected turn out. He is not the candidate his supporters once knew.
BTW, is this a ruse to get around a convention vote?
On behalf of the American people, huh? What a joke...he can’y even legitimately accept it on behalf of the democrap party! What Chutzpah.
What happens when he is not the nominee?
“Barack has made it clear that this is your convention, not his.”
DO YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU STUPID SMALL TOWNS MORONS WHO CLING TO RELIGION AND GUNS... !
“BTW, is this a ruse to get around a convention vote?”
I never thought of that! Could be, could be...
If that was meant as a slam or to get a rise out of me it didn't work...I'm a transplant. Grew up in California, Florida and Iowa and I've been a fish fan since I saw them in-person in the 1972 Superbowl (when they were undefeated). Did enjoy seeing the Cowboy's cheerleaders in Korea on a USO tour, though.
This is truely one of the most arrogant @$$holes I have ever seen. The man makes me sick.
"Triumph of the Will", part 2.
The convention starts on the 25th and ends on the 28th. Before the 28th, when BO with brazen hubris will accept the will of the people, the voting will occur.
Wow. How are his Public Relations folks gonna manage 75,000 people, moving some closer to thje stage, others away, making sure no relexes or Hajibs or Scarves or wrong colored faces are in camera shot?
Which means it's your duty to contribute money and cheer ecstatically, but don't dare criticize him or even THINK about voting to nominate someone else.
