The Democratic Party -----------------------
 In planning the 2012 Democratic National Convention, we set out to find ways to include more Americans, and to be creative about it.
We've done a lot to follow through on that, and it's all pretty exciting, but here's one thing you should definitely know about: A grassroots supporter and their guest will have VIP access for all three days, meet with President Obama, and witness history up front with the First Lady when the President delivers his acceptance speech.
You can't buy these tickets -- no one gets to do all this stuff. No one but you and your guest, anyway.
Chip in $X or whatever you can today and you'll be automatically entered to attend the Democratic convention as a VIP guest of the First Family:

If you've never been to a convention, you're in for a treat -- you'll get to meet amazing people, hear inspiring speeches, and experience the awesome energy of the convention hall. Getting to meet with the President and First Lady isn't half bad, either.
So chip in $X or whatever you can and be automatically entered for a chance to join us in Charlotte next month:
