The next President, one amazing city, and Lewis

Lewis -- Since you're a Democrat, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: There is no single place on the planet better to be at the end of August than Minneapolis. Okay, I'm biased because I was mayor of this great city for 12 years, but here are the facts: We've got a hundred miles of trails around swimmable lakes, past waterfalls and along the Mississippi riverfront. We're one of the country's great arts and music cities, and a foodie hub with an amazing local beer scene. The average August day is in the low 80s, with sunny skies and no humidity. And at the end of this August, all five major Democratic presidential candidates will be in Minneapolis. You should be there, Lewis -- and for only $3, you can be automatically entered to have that chance. If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately. QUICK DONATE: $3 QUICK DONATE: $10 QUICK DONATE: $25 QUICK DONATE: $50 QUICK DONATE: $100 Or donate another amount. It's been said that Minnesotans are too nice to brag, but I hope you won't mind if I say just a few words about how great our state is. We have plenty to be proud of -- Prince. Joe Mauer. A lovable bunch of moppets known as the Mighty Ducks. And Minnesota has a long Democratic tradition, so I'm proud to point out that Minnesotans are currently thriving under some of the most progressive policies in the country. As Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, I'm thrilled we've decided to hold our annual Summer Meeting in Minneapolis next month. I'm even more excited that we'll be offering the chance for one lucky winner and a friend to fly out and join Democrats from all over the country to see our five Democratic candidates for president in one place. Just pitch in $3 or whatever you can today to be automatically entered for your chance to win. Minnesota is a great example of what can be accomplished when people come together, and the perfect place to kick off the work ahead for 2016. As I said at our last Democratic National Convention in 2012, President Obama has earned every gray hair on his head fighting for the middle class, and I'm looking forward to joining my fellow Democrats to pick up the fight and stand behind our next Democratic president. Enter now for your chance to hear from Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee, and Jim Webb -- and spend some time in my favorite city! https://my.democrats.org/The-Next-President I hope you'll get a chance to visit, and I'll make sure you get a warm Minnesota welcome -- good luck! R.T. R.T. Rybak Vice Chair Democratic National Committee
