John Edwards in Los Angeles on Thursday

Here's an email I just got, with a great opportunity to see John Edwards in person.

"What can you get for $15 these days? A couple of pizzas. A CD. An upper deck seat at a Dodgers game? Today, for $15, you can help this campaign change America.

Thursday evening's big event at the REPUBLIC Restaurant and Lounge is filling up and we want to be sure all of you have an opportunity to meet and greet John Edwards while he's in Los Angeles.

What: Human Rights Campaign Forum Watch Party and "Small Change for Big Change" grassroots fundraiser with John Edwards

Where: REPUBLIC Restaurant + Lounge, 650 N. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069, (310) 360-7070

When: Thursday, August 9 at 5:45 - 7:30 PM.

Tickets are $15 and there will be a cash bar at the event

Come watch John take part in the Human Rights Campaign Forum on the big screen at 6:00 PM, and then stay to meet John immediately afterwards.

You shouldn't need to fork over $2,300 to meet a presidential candidate. You shouldn't need a paycheck with nine zeroes in it to rub elbows with a fellow American. And this Thursday, John Edwards has made sure you don't. All you need to join us is your energy, support, enthusiasm, and enough pocket change for a couple of pizzas.

This campaign is about all of us working together to achieve transformational change for our country. We're talking about the big things like true universal health care, eliminating poverty here and around the world, putting an end to global warming, and ending this war in Iraq.

These are big ideas - and if we work together they will become a reality.

Join us in this effort! This is your chance to meet John and talk about what's next. For the same amount of money you spend on a trip to the movies, a couple of pizzas or a CD, you can help bring about this change. See you Thursday night.
