I'm really excited about this year's Democratic convention in Charlotte -- there's nothing I love more than feeling the energy when tens of thousands of fired up Democrats meet in one place.
We can expect some pretty big moments this year -- from Elizabeth Warren's and President Bill Clinton's speeches to watching Vice President Biden and President Obama bring it all home.
But I think that, without question, the coolest experience anyone will have at the convention will be sitting up front with First Lady Michelle Obama when the President accepts the nomination -- and one lucky DNC supporter and their guest! will get that opportunity.
All you have to do is donate $X or whatever you can today to be automatically entered for the chance to win this incredible opportunity.
We've got your airfare and hotel covered. You'll get two VIP passes for three days at the convention. And you'll meet President Obama before he takes the stage.
After the convention, we'll be in a full sprint to Election Day, so the resources we raise between now and then will determine how much we can spend to help Democrats win in November.
Election Day is closer than you think.
Pitch in $X or whatever you can today to give Democrats the resources we need in the final months of the campaign, and you'll be automatically entered to win this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Charlotte:
