“Al Franken must be defeated.”
— Conservative Campaign Committee email

Dear Ralph,

I think that line pretty much says it all. The special interests are targeting Al.

According to a recent report by NBC’s Chuck Todd, Minnesota just made the short list of states that the GOP is targeting this year’s elections.

And the billionaire Koch brothers haven’t wasted a minute taking advantage of Minnesota’s new “competitive” status — their special interest group, Americans for Prosperity, has already begun running attacks.

The Koch’s and their special interest friends have made their move. Now it’s our turn. This month, we’ve got a goal to hit — $200,000 by January 30th — but we can’t do that without you. Contribute $5 or more right now to help us get there.

Special interests are spending millions of dollars in states like Minnesota this year. Their goal is to go into races people don’t think are competitive and buy enough influence to push right-wing candidates over the top.

And, according to Chuck Todd, they’re getting pretty good at it.

There’s only one thing standing between Al and these special interest attacks: Us.

We need to reach this $200,000 goal, and we’ve only got another 8 days to do it. Can you give $5 or more right now to help?

Thanks for everything.

Matt Burgess

Al Franken for Senate 2014

P.S.: There’s no telling when the next round of attacks will come. And we can’t just wait around to find out. We need to fight back now — give $5 or more to help us hit this $200,000 goal.
