My wife got a email from dipshit's caampaign

Not going to copy the whole thing over to here. Had one of the you got to do this now kind of sales pitch.

"But you only have 24 hours to enter."

A couple things funny about it. First they want you to donate just 3$ for a "chance" to win a fundraiser dinner with dipshit.

Edit: BTW there is no opt out option on the email. Just like the one from his son the other day.

The last part was really funny. The small print at the bottom. I wonder if I get a free subscription to dipshit magazine? Oh that's right it's bankrupt.

2. Obama started this in 2008

His campaign was the first I remember that started offering low dollar donors the chance to win dinner with him. It was a brilliant way to encourage donations and make himself more accessible to people who can't afford high dollar fundraisers.

That disclaimer language is there because I believe that legally, you can't require a donation to participate in the raffle. So they have it in fine print that you can enter even without donating.

Note: the above does not constitute legal advice. This is just based on what I remember reading in 2008.
