For several months Barack Obama has attempted to jumpstart his fundraising by creating several contests. Whether three guests won an exclusive dinner with the President or you received the red carpet treatment at a fundraiser with actor George Clooney, the promise was that all this was available with a donation of as little as $3.
But buried at the bottom of the e-mail of this and all his other contest announcements is a proviso which reads something like this:
No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter or win. Contributing will not improve chances of winning. Void where prohibited. Entries must be received by May 29, 2012. You may enter by contributing to Sponsor (or) enter without contributing.
