Dems Take on Romney Directly

December 27, 2011 By WHC Insider

The Obama fundraising machine is aiming directly for Mitt Romney as Iowans are about to hit the Caucus pavement to decalre their presidentialpreference.

Here is the letter that went out to the democrats list today.

Democrats
Friend —

You may have heard that Mitt Romney’s offering a supporter a chance to donate and win to spend election night with him in New Hampshire. Kind of like Dinner with Barack.

But there’s a catch: Deep pockets could go a long way to you joining him.

You see, for every dollar you donate to Mitt, you automatically get another entry to win. So someone who makes a $1,000 donation would be exactly 200 times more likely to win Mitt’s contest than someone who only chipped in $5.

We do things differently. Every few months, the President has asked to get together with just a few grassroots supporters to talk about what’s on their mind. And we don’t think your chances of winning should be determined by a big contribution.

So donate $3 or whatever you can to be automatically entered to win dinner with the President and First Lady.

You’ll have the same chances as everyone else, no matter how you enter.

This is precisely the difference between us and the other side. Instead of auctioning the President’s time off to the highest bidder, we believe anyone should have a shot at a seat at his table.

And instead of relying on big spenders, corporate lobbyists, and Super PACs to do our work, we rely on grassroots supporters like you.

The President wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chip in $3 or what you can to be automatically entered for dinner today:

And remember, when Mitt’s spending election night with other folks who can afford $10,000 bets, we’ll be doing things our way.

Thanks,

Hildy
