Joe Biden, the sixth oldest vice president in American history, turns 73 Friday and the Democratic Party is encouraging donations of $10 or more to help cement his legacy.
In a series of emails, supporters are asked to sign his online birthday card. Once they do, the following message pops up:
“Thanks for signing our card for Vice President Biden’s birthday. Now, help make sure Democrats are ready to continue his legacy.
“Chip in $10 or more to pre-order your Official 2016 Democratic Membership Card today.”

The DNC also followed up with an email that read:
Thanks for signing our birthday card for Vice President Biden.
You’re one of our most active supporters, and we’re going to keep relying on you to help Democrats take back Congress and keep Republicans away from the White House.
Here are three quick, easy things you can do right now to stop Republicans:
Spread the word. Let your friends know that you’ve committed to electing Democrats, and ask them to join you! Share on Facebook or tweet that you’re in.
Make a donation. We rely on supporters like you to make sure that our candidates have the resources they need to win. Your donation of $10 or more today will support Democrats who are fighting for our values at every level: https://my.democrats.org/Invest-in-Democrats
Become a Factivist. Help get out the facts about Republican candidates and their disastrous policies. Sign up to become a Factivist today, and we’ll make sure you get the latest information to share with your friends and neighbors.
Thanks for staying involved,
