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:
Now how would I know whether or not you were a Cowboys fan? I meant it the way I wrote it. I’m a Vikings fan, and I remember the 70s fish real well.
What happens when he is not the nominee?

Hitlery will take over. I have always thought Hitlery will be the nominee.
Okay, folks.
Put the date and time on your calendar...and pray for a downpour
That’s what I meant...I still think she’ll pull something out of her bag of tricks.
I apologize then..I figured you saw the Texas flag on my homepage and went from there..LOL
Thats what I meant...I still think shell pull something out of her bag of tricks.
You know it.
Tell you what Barack, the day you can run a pancake breakfast better than me, will be the day you are better qualified to be CINC,
Obama’s plane had to land unexpectedly today due to some problems controlling the pitch of the aircraft...the pilots couldn’t seem to keep the nose of the plane from sticking up...the arrogance of this man is ridiculous.
so now, we’ve gone from having an American Idol version of the Presidential election to having Presidential lottery offerings!
This guy is being sold to the public like a product - a product nobody has ever used before so there are past customers to call up and ask how they liked it.
And John McCain is relishing his ‘underdog’ status so he can run from outside the GOP. What a schmuck. He has no state organizations anywhere but Arizona since he spent so much time running against the people who normally give up their time and money to operate those state campaigns. Those ‘independents’ might show up on election day but they don’t donate money and they don’t waste their time working for anyones campaign. They expect to just show up at the polls and have the guy they vote for win (which could explain how independents tend to go the way that the pre-election polls go).
The RNC should cut the delegates from any state who has an ‘open primary’ in 2012. Either the GOP is a party for Republicans or it is just an open tent for any saboteur to walk into on election day (like they did in 2008). And if the majority of Republicans can’t even nominate their own candidate then there is no point in being a party.
Go right a head, overplay your hand and accept the nomination for the “entire American people.” That spectacle shouldn't cost you any more than 1-2 million votes. And it'll provide great footage for attack ads. Just don't be surprised when 50% (and hopefully more) of the entire American people vote against you, Barack, my lad.
Sheesh, what an I * D * I * O * T.
Wonder what Colorado's laws say about running a private lottery.
The FEC probably has a prohibition on such a contribution scam as well.
Another thing to consider, by setting the threshold at $5, they will be soliciting a lot of “first time donor” $5 contributions.
Bet you a dollar that the Obama campaign will use this later in the campaign to discuss the “average” donation being much lower than it had been prior to this ruse to solicit many small bids to offset the maxed out contributions of fat cat donors.
"I'm working on it!"
