Seriously... Get 1000 of us and do a lottery?

Doubtful. Campaigns from all parties are usually very careful to not let cameras into high-priced fundraisers. All it takes is one drunk, rich donor making an off-color remark that the candidate laughs at to create a news cycle dominating story.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Now if he needed someone to carry his guitar or ukulele, I'd be there!
Wanna be the Event Co-Host? It's 75 grand.
I'm gonna try for that.
But wait, I'm Canadian.
D'oh!!! :(
i wouldn't pay 50 cents
Will think about it. First have to email them to see if Ed could do Dirty Frank @ the event. If he can't, I'm not going.
Can Canadians donate? $20,000 American pesos is probably equal to $30 Canadian!! (I kid, I kid!!)

Yeah, alright.
Sorry, Gibbits, but that's a Neil Young song.
Don't you see the problem with part two? the lesser of two evils is still an evil. Ed can stand for whatever he wants and that is his right, but it is extremely hypocritical for all the things he called out Bush for when Obama has done nothing but extend them (Patriot Act, PMC in Iraq, Afghanistan, NDAA)
It's heating up and hasn't even made it to AMT yet!
PS - there is no such thing as a person who isn't hypocritical.
You realize there are more than two names on the ballot right? And by you remaining the the stance that "you'd only change it if there was another choice..." there is! Just because you invalidate the third party or independent does not make them any less valid a choice. Ask Ed, he supported Nader remember?! Do you know what the NDAA is? Or the fact he extended the Patriot Act which is an affront on the American constitution? He expanded Private contractors in Iraq and The Army in Afghanistan. These are all facts. They are all extremely Hawkish moves. What makes them so different?
As for your hypocrite comment, of course you are right. But to be so indignant about these same policies that have been extended under the Obama administration, it doesn't jive to chalk it up to just changing your mind. Ed was adamantly against the expansionist BS Bush pulled with the American empire and neverending wars, to do a 180 because someone else is in office just doesn't add up. There's a difference between saying you prefer coke and ending up enjoying a pepsi and rallying against policy for eight years then deciding it was okay with someone new in charge.
Nope, well what it say's in the guidelines rules. But yeah, would politicians ever turn down money coming from outside countries? I doubt it.
Did I say I hate Obama? No I did not. As for your argument of keeping the Repubs out of office? If in order to do that you have to continue the republican policies - what the hell is the point?! Calling the third party a wasted vote makes you complicit in "having no better option".
The best Obama could do when it comes to the NDAA is to not sign it and void it by executive order if necessary. You're talking about the right to kill American citizens without trial here ,not rocket science. Same with the extension of the Patriot Act - how is that "doing the best he can"?
