Jim was a lifelong Republican...

"Dear Arnaldo DeSouteiro --

According to our records, you are a lawful permanent U.S. resident currently registered and living in California's 30th Congressional District.

Well, the guy who just won the next seat at dinner with President Obama is a Republican.

Or, rather, he was.

He's from Ohio -- one of all too many states where Tea Party extremism has completely seized the Republican Party.

But when the Tea Party agenda -- the same one that Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have been fighting to take to the White House -- personally affected Jim, it shook him into action.

He started organizing and volunteering time locally and donating. And just recently, he won a seat at Dinner with Barack.

There are two seats left -- and one of them could be yours. Donate $3 or whatever you can right now to be automatically entered for that chance.

If you win, you'll get to meet the President.

But you'll also get to meet Jim and hear his story -- it's an incredible one.

How about it?
