Received another e-mail today from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of his friend and soon-to-be colleague again, Russ Feingold (D. WI):
Friend,
You probably have a lot of these emails in your inbox. So I'm getting straight to the point.
Russ Feingold needs our help this month. He's in a close race. Special interests are attacking. Russ doesn't rely on huge checks from corporate interests -- he relies on all of you.
We have to come through for him.
Russ is trying to raise $100,000 by the FEC deadline. Can you make a contribution?
If we want a senator who will fight to level the playing field for Wisconsin workers and businesses, we need Russ.
If we want someone as dedicated as I am (maybe, MAYBE more so) to ending Citizens United and getting special interest cash out of our elections, we need Russ.
And if we want Russ, we need to hit this $100,000 FEC goal.
Even $5 or $10 will get Russ closer to the FEC goal. Give what you can, if you can.
I can't wait to work with Russ in the Senate. Thanks for helping me help him today.
Al
P.S. This is my patented extra ask in the P.S. Yes, it works. No, I'm not kidding. This is the last time I'll ask -- if you can, give $5 to help Russ out this month.
