Hi John,

When Peggy asked me to reach out to you today, I said, “Of course!”

I’ve known Peggy for a long time. We both grew up in St. Louis Park (not at the same time — she’s young, and I’m old). Raised by a single mom (her, not me), Peggy understands the vital role federal programs play in supporting working families. From Section 8 housing vouchers to health insurance and child care assistance, she knows firsthand how these resources can transform lives.

Peggy’s credentials are impressive: currently serving as Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor, she's the highest-ranking Native American woman ever elected to executive office in our country. Oh, and in case you’re wondering — yes, Peggy will be the first Native American woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate.

She also refuses to take a cent of corporate PAC money, because she won’t be a puppet for corporate interests.

While some in Washington avoid their constituents, Peggy is front and center, engaging with Minnesotans, hearing their concerns, and bringing people together. She doesn’t just want to fight Trump and his allies; she’s ready to lead and deliver concrete accomplishments for folks like she’s done in Minnesota over and over again.

Help send my friend Peggy to the Senate by splitting a donation between Blue Amp Action and her campaign now!

There’s no better person to serve Minnesota in the Senate than Peggy. Thanks for supporting her.

Al Franken

P.S. Peggy told me that if she doesn’t hit her next fundraising goal, I’ll get to email you all again. So if you’re tired of seeing my face in your inbox, I’d donate right away.

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
