I thought I was done donating to the campaign last night...then I see this in my mailbox
No fucking way I'm passing this up.


We're planning a big event that will include tens of thousands of supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.

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.

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.

Any donation counts -- whatever you can afford. Show your support at this crucial time with a donation of $25 or more, and you could join me on Election Night:

https://donate.barackobama.com/backstage

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

1. ok I'm slightly irritated because the email I got said "donation of $100" or more
And I paid the $100--which I guess is a good thing, but still! The link I had was different too: https://donate.barackobama.com/frontrow

Is he profiling us? :rofl:

3. This says "whatever you can afford." Sometimes they use the figure you've donated in the past.

12. Skinner loaded it in the avatar options, so you aren't stealing anything. In fact, another
creative DUer designed it, but I can't remember who. Anyway, even if I did design, you would be more than welcome to it! :hi:
