Obama - Biden I know it sounds crazy.
But this will be the absolute last email you get from me about Dinner with Barack.
 So I'm asking you for the last time: 
 If you want in, you've got to donate $X or whatever you can before tomorrow's deadline  -- you and a guest will be automatically entered to fly out to meet President Obama for his last dinner with supporters before Election Day.
It's only because of you and 1.1 million other grassroots supporters that we outraised Mitt Romney and the Republicans last month. No one else did that.
But the Romney campaign isn't even our biggest problem. If you factor in outside groups, the other side was outspending us 2 to 1 in more than half a dozen battleground states right before the Republican convention. Over the summer, outside groups -- not the Romney campaign -- were responsible for 7 out of 10 of the dollars spent on ads backing Republicans on the airwaves.
That said, I'm also aware that, unlike me, you may have other things going on in your life. If you're not working on this campaign or volunteering for it thank you if you are! , you may not be thinking about how unprecedented outside spending threatens to cancel out all the work our volunteers and organizers are doing on the ground.
 This is what I think about ALL DAY LONG. 
With six weeks to go, we can't let up for a second.
Donate $X or whatever you can before midnight tomorrow -- help combat the outside spending, and be automatically entered to meet President Obama for a meal:

Thanks, it's been an honor.

P.S. -- Recently on a call with volunteers, President Obama put it best: Money can't beat good people, but we have to stay on the case. If you're thinking about entering this contest or donating to the campaign in the future, don't wait for a big moment.  This is the big moment: 43 days to go.
