Bad news, friends --

Dean's opponent's first big TV ad is up on the air with a six-figure TV buy. And the NRCC is funneling money right to him to help keep it up.

We need to fight back. NOW. Chip in to help us reach our official FEC end of quarter deadline.

Now it's a head-to-head race for who can reach Minnesota voters. Republicans are going all-out to win Minnesota -- Donald Trump was here last week, and his advisors have named Minnesota as a state to watch this election -- so they won't let this race go without a fight.

Instead of focusing on Donald Trump's hateful agenda for our country, our message focuses on embracing optimism over fear -- but we can't afford to be greatly outspent by the big-money GOP interests flooding our state with cash right now.

We're building a campaign where everyone's invited, and we're inviting you to help set the strategy for the last month before the election is over: Will you chip in $5 or more before Wednesday's FINAL end-of-quarter deadline to raise $30,000 to keep Dean's ad on the air?
