Let me know if you win!
I just got this e-mail from the Presidential Inaugural Committee letting me know that if I donate as little as $5 I can be entered into a raffle to win two tickets to Obama's swearing-in. Other Democratic organizations have been doing the same thing. What's unique about this offer is you don't have to donate to win tickets. As far as I can tell 10 people will given airfare, hotel and tickets for the swearing-in. This pool includes the people who do donate and those who do not. You can click on the photo above to get all the pertinent information. The e-mail I received is below.

Dear ben,
Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States of America on January 20th, 2009.
It will be an unprecedented event in the history of our country, and hundreds of thousands of people will come together in Washington, D.C. to share the moment.
Americans like you made this happen. You know that real change comes from the bottom up, not from the top down, and the President-elect and Vice President-elect want you to join them on this historic day.
Between now and January 8th, 10 supporters and their guests will be selected to join the Inaugural activities.
If you make a donation -- in any amount -- to make the Inauguration a success, you and a guest could be flown to Washington, D.C., put up in a hotel, and be there as the 44th President is sworn in.
Make a donation of $5 or more right now. You and a guest could receive your ticket to history.
Unlike past inaugurations, this year's event will not be paid for by Washington lobbyists.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee is not accepting donations from PACs, federally registered lobbyists, or corporations. Help start this administration off right -- independent of the special interest donors who have shaped Washington for too long.
This Inauguration will be open to as many Americans as possible. We'll all come together to celebrate the hope and optimism that define this movement for change.
But you could be one of 10 selected to join us in Washington for all Inaugural events. Any donation you make between now and January 8th counts -- whatever you can afford.
Show your support for a different kind of politics and a different kind of inauguration with a donation of $5 or more today: http://www.pic2009.org/tickettohistory
The Inauguration will be a once-in-a-lifetime event. I hope you can join us.
Thank you,
Emmett
Emmett S. Beliveau
Executive Director
Presidential Inaugural Committee 2009
P.S. -- If you cannot make a donation, you and a guest could still be selected to receive your ticket to history. Learn more here.
