Getting a year older brings into focus how lucky I am -- another year with Michelle watching the girls grow up, having the opportunity to make the world they live in a better place.

That job isn't always easy, as you may be able to tell from my increasingly gray hair. But when the days are most difficult, people like you remind me that I'm not in this alone.

I don't get to tell you enough, but I'm so grateful for that. We're getting some friends together in Chicago to celebrate before we head into the final weeks of this election. The occasion might be my 51st birthday, but I'd love to get the chance to make a toast to you.

The deadline is at midnight -- make a donation of $X or whatever you can today, and you'll be automatically entered to be flown in for the night with a guest of your choice:

Thank you,

Barack

This is the last day to enter to join me for my 51st birthday get-together in Chicago.

But there's a much more important deadline coming up, so I hope you'll consider chipping in no matter what.

July 31st is the end of another big fundraising push. We'll take a look at what we've raised, and know exactly how strong this campaign will be over the next few weeks.

Before midnight, please donate $X or whatever you can.

When you do, you'll be automatically entered to join me at my home in Chicago, flight and hotel included for you and a guest.

The July fundraising deadline is our most urgent yet, coming after two consecutive months of being significantly outraised by Romney and the Republicans. We cannot allow ourselves to get outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work we're doing on the ground -- talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.

Thanks for all you're doing. If you can, please make a donation today:

I'll see you soon,

Barack

President Obama recently said: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Mitt Romney understands that we have to celebrate people who start enterprises and employ other people rather than devalue them. Success is not the result of government, it is the result of hard-working individuals who take risks, create dreams, and build lives for themselves and for their families.

Stand with Mitt today and stand up for Americans who work hard to build their businesses, their homes, their families and their communities.

Visit [url] to learn the facts and tell us your story.

We look forward to hearing from you.

That was the first thing I thought when I found out I was one of the lucky winners selected to meet Mitt and his VP pick. I'm excited to find out who Mitt's running mate will be, and even more excited to meet them both in person sometime soon.

Two winners -- including me -- have been selected already, and the third winner is being chosen this week.

Monday's Wall Street Journal had it right: “Unless fundraising picks up, the Obama campaign may enter the season's final stretch…pulling out of swing states.”

Romney has outraised President Obama two months running, and now they're polling neck and neck. Swing State Polling Update Virginia: Obama 44 Romney 44 Quinnipiac, 7/19 Michigan: Obama 44 Romney 45 Mitchell Research, 7/25 Ohio: Obama 48 Romney 45 Purple Strategies, 7/16 With just over 100 days until the election, Democrats need to pick up the pace—now —or attacks on President Obama will go unanswered in battlegrounds like Ohio and Virginia. The July FEC deadline is just 5 days away, and Democrats must raise an additional $X or we could give Republicans an insurmountable lead. Can you kick in $X?

-- Republicans in Congress would obstruct President Obama from having cereal for breakfast if they could.

The only chance we have to change Washington is to defeat the House Republicans standing in the way of America's progress.

Tuesday is an important fundraising deadline. If we don't have the funds to compete, a Democratic majority for President Obama could be out of reach. Help us show just how hard we're willing to fight in the final 100 day-push to Election Day.

Please donate $X or more to support President Obama with a Democratic majority.

President Obama: "It's time for House Republicans to drop their demand for another $X trillion giveaway to the wealthiest Americans…"

After years of debate, Senate Democrats voted yesterday to finally end the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Now it's up to the House.

Naturally, Boehner, Cantor and House Republicans are standing firmly in the way of President Obama's plan to end reckless giveaways to millionaires and billionaires.

Will you help prove that President Obama's plan has the support of the American people?

Stand with President Obama: Sign our petition calling on House Republicans to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy



Poll after poll shows that the American people are with us. Now it's up to us to keep the pressure on.

Please act fast, the vote is next week.
