Is there nothing sweeter than tears of a hippie?

Friend --

Here's an opportunity that you don't want to miss.

On November 6th, we're hosting an Election Night watch party with President Obama at McCormick Place here in Chicago -- and some of this campaign's strongest supporters in Illinois are invited.

This is your chance to be a part of history.

Help get out the vote in nearby battleground states in the last days of the election, and you'll be eligible for a credential to the big night.

I know you're fired up and working hard to re-elect President Obama. Day in and day out, it's your determination and energy that drives this campaign to victory, and is beating back all the massive spending by Mitt Romney and his allies.

But we're not at the finish line yet.

We've got more doors to knock on, more phone calls to make, and more voters to turn out between now and November 6th.

A limited number of credentials are available for Illinois volunteers who help finish our important work in battleground states, so sign up now -- these credentials are limited and will go fast:

Let's win this thing and then celebrate our hard work together.

Hope to see you there,

Messina

Campaign Manager
Obama for America

Time is running out to do the work it'll take to win. Please donate to the Obama Victory Fund now.

How soon do you think I'd get thrown out for doing a Victory Lap when Romney wins?   =D =D

Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

You do realize that "feet" isn't a measure of time, right?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I got an email tonight asking for a donation that would give me an entry into a drawing for a front row seat for Obama's acceptance speech.

When I did a fund-raiser for our concealed carry political action committee, I was told by the gaming board that political campaigns and PAC's can't have drawings or raffles, that such games are limited to non-profits. I wonder if Illinois law is the same?

Give them a chance to keep at least two consecutive governors out of club Fed then we'll worry about pesky details like campaign finance laws.

Beating back the massive spending of Romney and his allies?

They do realize their side has spent a nearly identical amount of money...rights?  And MASSIVELY more in 2008?

Hush now. No expecting consistency, logic, or even truth out of the Liberals/MSM (but I repeat myself)

Friend --

If I don't get a chance to tell you before Election Day, I just want to say:

No matter what happens on Tuesday, I am grateful to you.

And right now, I want to make sure we're celebrating a win to honor all the work you and millions of others have put into this.

The final budget meeting of this campaign is tomorrow, and we're finishing this election out with the resources we have on hand at midnight tonight. Every donation, no matter how large or small -- it matters.

If you've been waiting to chip in, it has to be right now -- it's not too late to make a difference. If you can, please make a donation of $5 or more today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/Midnight-Deadline

Four days to go -- let's make the most of them.

Thank you,

Barack

P.S. -- This is one of your last chances to determine how this campaign ends -- tomorrow morning, the final plans are being made. If you've been thinking of making a donation, please make it today.

He's grateful for all the work I did.  BWWWwwwwaaaaaahahahahahhahaha  If he only knew.


And of course he still has his hand out...

But their money came from the downtrodden little people, not selfish billionaires and corporations, so it's a legitimate whine...

How much is the unabashed adoration worth (in dollars) which is evident in every story run on the major broadcast networks, their affiliates, and many other newspapers?
