I'm so jealous of you that I can barely write the rest of this email.

Imagine shooting hoops with Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Kyrie Irving, and Alonzo Mourning. Oh, and President Obama and Michael Jordan will be there, too.

Now stop dreaming and make it happen. You and a guest of your choice could join President Obama and some of the greatest basketball stars for a special night at the Obama Classic.

Pitch in $X and you'll be automatically entered for a chance to win:

Hit the court with Patrick Ewing and Melo? Trade stories with the President? This is the kind of stuff your kids will tell their kids, and no one will believe it until you show them a photo.

Don't worry if suiting up with hoops stars isn't your thing.

I know you've got a kid or a friend who would love nothing more than to play with their heroes while you cheer them on from a courtside seat.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to chip in and support the President, it's time to get off the bench.

Donate $X to automatically get your name in the hat:

Even though I'm jealous, I hope you win.

On August 22nd, President Obama is getting together with some of his basketball heroes: Michael Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, Sheryl Swoopes, Alonzo Mourning, and Patrick Ewing, just to name a few.

Wait, did, you catch that? MICHAEL JORDAN.

The President wants to share this dream moment with some of his grassroots supporters. You could be there.

And even if basketball's not your thing, you probably have a friend or loved one who's got enough game for the both of you.

Just give $X or whatever you can today, and you'll be automatically entered for the chance for you and a guest to join them for dinner, and on the court, at the Obama Classic. [url]

Just think about that kid or friend who'd love nothing more than to shoot hoops with some of these stars, while you cheer them on from a courtside seat.

Step up and take your shot at making the team with President Obama and some of basketball's greatest legends:

Democrats --

The Romney camp just announced that they raised $X million in July, and while they beat the $X million we raised, I want to be the first to tell you:

Democrats came through, and we are starting to close the fundraising gap between us and them.

It's a tough fight -- but $X and $X at a time, we are continuing to prove that grassroots donations from everyday folks can go toe to toe with Romney's deep-pocketed, corporate donors any day, any time.

I couldn't be prouder of what we've done. But we're not there yet -- because we did, in fact, get beat again.

I want every single Democrat out there to be able to say at the end of this election that we did everything we could to help re-elect President Obama and help Democrats win.

It starts with you -- right now.

Please make a donation of $X or whatever you can give to help keep closing the gap between us and them:

We can do this.

Thanks,

Patrick

What's worse than being outraised in a critical election year?

Knowing we could have done something about it and didn't.

So, with that in mind, I've got some news:

Romney's campaign released their July fundraising numbers. We got beat again, but the gap is closing. That's right, our grassroots donations up against their deep-pocketed donors -- and we're without a doubt starting to gain. This is proof that, if we keep our eye on the ball, we can continue to close the fundraising gap, and give Democrats what it will take to win in November.

Donate $X or more today to keep closing the gap:

Thanks -- we can do this.

P.S. -- Romney and the RNC outraised us by $X million in July, and $X million in June. Your $X donation will help close the gap.

We just got news that Mitt Romney outraised President Obama for the third straight month:

OBAMA V. ROMNEY FUNDRAISING MAY Obama - $X million Romney - $X million JUNE Obama - $X million Romney - $X million JULY Obama - $X million Romney - $X million With polls tied, this fundraising gap means that swing state attacks twisting President Obama's record will go unanswered. Democrats can't rely on endless million dollar checks — if we don't want President Romney overseeing a Republican House and Senate, it's on all of us to stop him now.

Can you give $X? How we respond to these fundraising numbers in the next 24 hours is absolutely critical.

Take a second and imagine how you'd feel if the Romney administration controlled the White House, Senate, and House, and you could have stopped them.

I can't wait to find out who Dad will choose as his running mate. Even I haven't been able to get so much as a hint out of him. You'd think I'd have a little bit of "pull" being his youngest and favorite son -- sorry Tagg, it's true -- but no luck!

I'm excited to meet the leader who will help get our country back on track.

In just a few days, one lucky supporter will win the remarkable opportunity to meet Dad and his VP pick in person. Don't miss out!

Enter now at: [url]

Time is running out for you to enter to win your chance to personally meet America's Comeback Team.

It's history in the making -- and this could be your chance to be part of it!

Thanks and good luck!
