SO COOL! Birthday with Barack?

Marcia -- Have you ever gotten to do something so cool you're almost jealous of yourself? Pretty sure this would count: On August 12th, just three weeks before the Democratic National Convention and 12 weeks before Election Day, President Obama will have a few friends over to mark his 51st birthday -- in the backyard of his Chicago home. And you're invited. Make a donation today of $3 or whatever you can to be automatically entered for a chance to be there -- flight and hotel paid for. Look, campaigns are hard work, both for the President and the millions of people like you who are building it on the ground. When you factor in the ridiculous amounts of money the Romney campaign and pro-Romney super PACs are raising, we're going to have to work even harder to win than we did in 2008. Let's have some fun together before the final push to Election Day.
