For Obamamaniacs, this would be like winning the lottery.
Barack Obama announced this afternoon, via a video message, that 10 supporters and one guest each will get an all-expenses-paid trip to Denver next month -- and will get backstage access at Invesco Field when he accepts the Democratic presidential nomination on Aug. 28.
The only catch: You have to give some money to his campaign by July 31.
In the message, which features panoramic views of the 75,000-seat football stadium, Obama promises "an experience you'll never forget at what he calls "the biggest public event of this election so far."

Subject: "High Gas Price" I have worked in the oil industry 35 years & have had several up & down times. On how to answer increased drilling i do not understand why we (democrats) won't just make 2 points #1. rigs & operators are running @ max. #2. If we had more oil we could not refine it (Refineries are runnig @ max. output & there are no plans to build new one's).
