Barack and I wouldn't be where we are today without you.

Your support is what's building this campaign.

To say thank you, Barack is holding one last dinner with supporters before Election Day. And I hope you'll be there.

If you chip in $X or whatever you can, you'll be automatically entered for a chance to take part in this campaign tradition. Today only, each entry counts as two.

These dinners have been a staple of both of Barack's campaigns -- he had the first one back in 2007.

This is your last chance to be part of one of these dinners, so I hope you'll give it a shot:

This is the last time on this campaign that I'll ask you:

Want to meet for dinner?

Donate $X or whatever you can, and you'll be automatically entered to join me today only, each entry counts twice.

While the other side leans on corporate donors and million-dollar checks, we're doing this the right way.

There's a seat at the table for everyone in this campaign, no matter what you're able to give.

P.S. I'm not sure where on the campaign trail we'll meet up, but no matter where it is, we'll fly you and a guest out there and put you up for the night.
