Hey Dan,
Based on my sense of your political and social leanings, I think you would love to partake of the following. Please check out the website - we just went live with it just over a week ago. (note: picture above is a live link to the website)
It's a viral dinner party project my roommates (Brad, Louis and Ben) and I just launched called Hungry for Obama (www.hungryforobama.com). It enables you to help raise thousands of dollars for the campaign by doing something simple: host a dinner for some friends.
I thought you might be interested and would love you to get involved and help us spread the word.
To attend your dinner, your guests have to make two commitments to you:
1. At your dinner, they'll make a meaningful contribution directly to the Obama campaign online
2. They'll host dinners of their own the following week (or as soon as possible) under the same conditions (i.e. they'll ask their guests to make the same two commitments)
It's like a pyramid scheme of miniature Obama fundraisers – except, unlike traditional pyramid schemes, everyone wins. After less than two weeks we've raised over $7000 from 9 dinners, and there are 20 more dinners already scheduled for this week. If we continue growing at the same rate we'll have more than 50 dinners next week and are aiming for hundreds by the time of the election.
You can find out more information and set up your own dinner here: www.hungryforobama.com.
After you host a dinner, you'll be able to see how much impact you've had in aggregate – the money raised not just at your dinner, but at all of the dinners that your dinner spawned, and the dinners that those dinners spawned, and so on. The growth of your influence is exponential as each round of dinners happens.
I'd really encourage you all to consider become part of what we affectionately refer to as the "H4O" movement. Besides making a difference in the definitive campaign of our generation, dinner parties are a damn good time (see the photo on the H4O homepage and note all the smiling faces if you're skeptical).
If you're hesitant about hosting a dinner party yourself or don't have a large enough apartment, I recommend pairing up with a friend (or significant other) to throw a joint party. And if you have any questions at all or want help setting one up on www.hungryforobama.com, just reply to this email and I'll be happy to lend a hand.
Final pitch: one of my favorite quotes is from the conservative (gasp!) Edmund Burke, who said that "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." John McCain and Sarah Palin are not evil, but they are a danger to our country and the world, and the only thing necessary is for their triumph this November is for good people like you to do nothing.
I hope to hear from some of you soon - and please spread the word to anyone else you know who might be interested!
Best,
Danny Cox
