The next time President Obama and I get together, you could be there.

We're meeting up on June 4th, and we're inviting a few supporters like you to be our guests for an evening in New York City. The deadline to enter is tonight.

Donate before midnight to help re-elect the President, and you'll be automatically entered to be there.

You can forget about the cost of the flight or the hotel. I'm told the campaign is picking up the tab for you and a guest.

It should be a great night. I hope you can make it:
