Dinner for Five with Barack Obama

Obama for America has come up with a novel way of raising more funds and changing politics as Barack has promised.

"Dinner for Five with Barack" will give any contributor the chance of having a personal dinner and discuss the issues with Barack Obama, something politicians usually reserve only for the highest donors.

Here is the letter sent out by campaign manager David Plouffe announcing the opportunity:


Face to Face with Barack

Most political fundraisers are hosted by lobbyists and filled with representatives of special interests.

But our campaign is different.

Our funding comes from a movement of Americans giving whatever they can afford, even $5, and Barack wants to sit down with supporters like you.

You were there before the beginning, and you helped spark something new in American politics. Renew your support now and you could potentially meet Barack in person.

In the next week, four donors will be selected for a new kind of fundraising dinner. If you make a donation in any amount between now and 11:59 pm EDT on Wednesday, June 13, you could join Barack and three other supporters for an intimate dinner for five.

Our movement is changing the way campaigns are funded. We’re not taking any contributions from Washington lobbyists or political action committees.

More than 100,000 individual donors have demonstrated that this choice is about more than an election. It’s about each of us having a personal stake in the future of American politics.

The dinner for five is an opportunity for you to sit down with Barack and your fellow supporters and talk about what matters to you.

Get the kind of treatment other politicians reserve for special interests. Make a donation in the next week, and you could share your story and your ideas with Barack in person:

With every single donation, we’re building a movement to change American politics. And this is just the beginning.

Thanks for your support,
David
