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 movement,  and be automatically entered to join me -- 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.
So we have to stay on the case every day.
Last week we learned that our side 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 to support me and help make sure we  elect a Congress that will pass our agenda, and you'll be automatically  entered to be at the table:
