Our first guest

 

Phillip -- Last week, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced that we're bringing 10 supporters to Washington, DC for several days of Inaugural celebrations. With the deadline coming up on Thursday, I'm pleased to announce the selection of the first grassroots supporter who will be attending the Inauguration. Cynthia Russell from Newberry, Florida, and her guest will attend the welcome ceremony, Barack's swearing-in, the Inaugural Parade, and our Neighborhood Inaugural Ball. Cynthia is a builder and has been feeling the impact of the recent economic crunch. She wrote: "I'm a single woman who has been building homes for over 18 years. I've supported myself and have been able to help out my mother from time to time. Now I find myself wondering how much longer I can hold on and be able to pay my bills and keep the doors open for business. Barack gives me hope. Hope that 2009 will truly bring change to Americans who find themselves in this mess with me." We need to select 9 more supporters like Cynthia, and I would love for you to be one of them. Can you make a donation of $5 or more before midnight on Thursday, January 8th? Our commitment to making this the most open and accessible inauguration in history begins with the way we're paying for it. We're not taking the six-figure contributions from corporations and lobbyists that have paid for past inaugurations. We're relying on supporters like you, and in return, we want you to be there to celebrate. This inauguration is not reserved for well-connected special interests. It's for all of us. The Inauguration is the moment when we will begin to renew America's promise, and you could be there to celebrate it. Make a donation of $5 or more before Thursday at midnight: http://www.pic2009.org/tickettohistory Nothing could be better than having you there to be a part of this historic event. Thank you for everything you've done to bring us to this moment, Michelle P.S. -- The opportunity to be part of this historic event is open to everyone, regardless of whether you make a donation. Participate now by telling us what this Inauguration means to you.
