As we're organizing the last dinner with supporters on my last campaign, our kind of politics is running up against a very cynical calculation:
That a few billionaires writing $X million checks are enough to overpower the voices of millions of Americans.
That's why I want to meet you for dinner.
Donate $X or whatever you can to our people-powered campaign, and be automatically entered to join us -- hotel and airfare covered for you and a guest.
Overnight, we aren't going to change the rules that allow outside groups to spend hundreds of millions of dollars attacking me on the airwaves.
But we have to stay on the case every day.
One week ago today we learned that more than 1.1 million donors in August alone -- out of more than 3 million supporting this effort -- had outraised Mitt Romney and the Republicans for the first time since April.
If we keep doing this our way, I guarantee you there'll be no stopping us.
Donate $X or whatever you can today and you'll be automatically entered to be at the table:
