Hello,

Facebook just took down Chuck Grassley’s ads against us – but not before they were seen by tens of thousands of people and targeted over one million:

This is what we’re up against. Chuck Grassley is running ads so misleading that they’re being taken down – but they were still running for over a week. Come on, Facebook!

I’m going to be facing millions of dollars ads full of lies and twisted disinformation. In my last campaign, a Super PAC ran over $1 million in ads attacking my military record. I’m a hard target to attack, but with Senate control at stake, they’ll make up and say anything.

In order to fight back, we need to raise $250,000 online before my end-of-month goal, but right now we’re still $28,482 short with time running out. I’m not taking corporate PAC money, so I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give now if I’m going to defeat Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue:

Please, may I count on you to donate $5 or more right now to my campaign – before our end-of-month deadline – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Your donation today will help me fight back against all of Chuck Grassley’s and the Super PACs’ lies.

Thank you so much for your support. I salute you!

Mike Franken, VADM, U.S. Navy (ret.)
