My upcoming birthday next week could be the last one I celebrate as President of the United States, but that's not up to me -- it's up to you.

This July deadline is our most urgent yet, coming after two consecutive months of being significantly outraised by Romney and the Republicans.

And if you pitch in $X or whatever you can before midnight tonight, you and a guest will be automatically entered to join me at my birthday get-together next month:

Thanks. Hope I'll see you soon.

I've got a party to plan, you've got a contest to enter, and, well, we're just plain out of time for niceties.

So I'm cutting right to the chase:

President Obama is turning 51, he's having friends over to his backyard in Chicago, and you've got the chance to be there -- just as long as we hear from you tonight.

We'll cover airfare for you and a guest, we'll put you up in a hotel, and please -- show up to the party empty-handed.

Just enter by midnight tonight:

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:
