If you send in just $3 between now&nbsp; and 11:59 p.m. Friday, you’ll have a chance to win — air fare, hotel,&nbsp; and “backstage pass” to meet Obama.&nbsp;And it’s even better than that. Read the fine print of the&nbsp; email, and you’ll see — at the bottom, just like a contest on the back&nbsp; of a box or a six pack of soft drinks — “No purchase or contribution&nbsp; necessary to enter. Void where prohibited.” Even if they don’t&nbsp; send in any money, winners will receive “one round-trip ticket within&nbsp; the continental U.S. to Las Vegas; hotel accommodations for one; and a&nbsp; meeting with President Obama at a rally even on 10/22/10 (approximate&nbsp; combined retail value $1,200.00).” The email does not specify how much&nbsp; of the $1,200.00 is for the plane, how much is for the hotel, and how&nbsp; much is for meeting Obama.</blockquote>
