Mitt

As a small business owner, I appreciate Mitt's support of American entrepreneurs. So when I got a contest email about a chance to meet him and his choice for VP, I thought I'd return the favor by showing him a little support.

I clicked the link, donated and just about a week later I found out that I had actually won. So I'm writing to encourage you to do what I did: show a little support. You never know what might happen!

Donate $X today to be automatically entered for your chance to personally meet Mitt and his choice for VP.

I'm excited to meet America's Comeback Team in person, don't miss your chance to meet them too.

Good luck!
