--LEAD IN --
President Obama is pulling out his celebrity connections again and this time they're contacting voters directly.
Tory Dunnan is in Washington with more on the email from an unexpected supporter.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RE-ELECTION TEAM IS NOT SHY in using STAR POWER TO HELP raise campaign cash.
THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN'S LATEST FUNDRAISING EMAIL CAME FROM NONE OTHER THAN BEYONCE KNOWLES.
THE SINGER JOINS THE LIKES OF GEORGE CLOONEY, SARA JESSICA PARKER and EVA LONGORIA IN OFFERING PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT.
IN HER EMAIL, BEYONCE ADMITS SHE DOESN'T USUALLY DO THIS, BUT WANTS TO EXTEND WHAT SHE CALLS "AN AMAZING INVITATION."
THE INVITE ASKS SUPPORTERS TO DONATE AND ENTER A CHANCE TO WIN TICKETS TO A PRIVATE FUNDRAISER AT HER HUSBAND, JAY-Z'S CLUB IN NEW YORK.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME BEYONCE HAS SENT A "PRESIDENTIAL" LETTER.
"I wrote the first lady a letter to thank her."
THE JULY ONLINE AD FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON MICHELLE OBAMA.
ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN TEAM HASN'T TOUTED AS MUCH CELEBRITY SUPPORT, BUT CLINT EASTWOOD DID APPEAR AS A SURPRISE GUEST SPEAKER AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
IN WASHINGTON, I'M TORY DUNNAN. BACK TO YOU.
