It does not matter if you are for this candidate, or not, no one can argue that this man KNOWS how to raise $$$'s.

From David Plouffe:

As much as you enjoyed the dinner, no one enjoyed it more than Barack. As soon as it was over he asked, "When are we doing the next one?"

So, let's make this happen again. Your participation made the first dinner a huge success, and it will work the same way this time around. Here are the details:

If you make a donation in any amount, even as little as five dollars, before 11:59 pm EDT on Tuesday, July 31st, you could join Barack Obama and three other supporters for an intimate dinner for five:

Barack's guests told us that the dinner worked out even better than they expected. The casual, friendly atmosphere allowed them to engage Barack on a number of issues that affect them personally.

One of the guests, Christina Cheatham, blogged about her experience:

"The Senator not only spoke candidly with us about many different issues, but he also took interest in how some of the current policies affect our daily lives.

Most important to me, while he is very confident in his own ideas for America, he is still willing to listen -- really listen -- to dissenting views."

Watch a short video of Barack's dinner with Christina, Haile, Margaret, and Michael. They discussed the war in Iraq, student loans, health care, and urban poverty.

What issues are important to you, and what would you ask Barack if you had the chance?

At a time when Washington lobbyists and special interests are poisoning our politics with their influence, Barack Obama wants to sit down with you and hear what's on your mind.

Our movement has rejected the easy money of politics as usual. Instead, we put our faith in you, and more than a quarter-million supporters have proven that we made the right decision.

The vast majority -- more than 90% -- of our donations came from supporters giving $100 or less. However, to make a lasting change in this country we must keep building this base of support.

Make a small donation and you could have the kind of dinner with Barack that other politicians reserve for the wealthy elite:

There is no better source of ideas or inspiration to make this happen than an intimate conversation with supporters like you.

I expect it to be another FLOOD to the Credit Cards, but hey, what the heck.  I am throwing $5.00 that way because I have a lot of questions to ask him.
