Just about four years ago, Barack and I took the stage at the Democratic National Convention. We laid out a plan.
And just look at how far we've come since then: Health care reform. Wall Street reform. Saving the auto industry. Our troops home from Iraq. The end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
We're not done. All that and more is on the line in this election. And when we take that stage together again in Charlotte, we'll have just two months to go till Election Day.
It's going to be a big moment, and since you're building this campaign with your time, money, and energy every single day, we want you there with us.
Pitch in $X or whatever you can to be automatically entered to win VIP seats for the entire convention, where you'll meet Barack and sit with Michelle during his acceptance speech:

I'm not kidding around here. Two grassroots supporters like you are actually going to win this thing, and the odds aren't so darn long. We'll fly you and your guest to Charlotte and put you up for three nights.
It'll be a lot of fun. I can honestly say Barack and Michelle are two of my favorite people.
Let me tell you: This guy is the real deal. I've seen him make some of the most difficult decisions a person can imagine -- not just once or twice, but every single day. He's got a backbone like a ramrod, and always does what's right, not what's easy.
We're not going to have another candidate like Barack in a long time, maybe ever.
So don't miss your opportunity to meet him at the convention and be there, right up front, when he accepts the Democratic nomination for the last time -- it'll be history in the making.
Enter today, and maybe I'll see you sitting with Michelle when I walk onto that stage in a couple weeks:

Good luck, and hey -- thanks for being a part of this.
