President Obama wants to wish you a very happy birthday - and as his
gift to you, he'll let you donate a portion of your gift money to his
reelection campaign.
A blog post
on the Obama/Biden 2012 website on Friday announced the campaign's
newest fundraising ploy - the "Obama Event Registry," which asks anyone
with an upcoming birthday, wedding, or anniversary to "support the
President on your big day" by asking for donation money "in lieu of a
gift."
"Let your friends know how important this election
is to you," the post reads. "Instead of another gift card you'll forget
to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little
further: a donation for Obama for America."
Replete
with a section that allows anyone interested to create actual accounts
for their registry, the site reasons, "it's a gift that we can all
appreciate--and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl."
