Obama - Biden --

I'm no good at singing "Happy Birthday."

I hope you're better, because the President's inviting two grassroots donors and their guests to celebrate his birthday with him at his home in Chicago on August 12th.

Just pitch in $X or whatever you can to support this campaign, and you'll be automatically entered for the chance to be there.

It's going to be a great party.

We've got a nice spot picked out for the event at the President's family home in their beautiful South Side neighborhood.

What we're missing is a few lucky supporters like you to come and wish the President well as we celebrate him for the night.

Sounds fun, right? The contest ends Thursday, so enter today:
