Hello,

This morning, the Supreme Court issued a decision overturning Roe v Wade.

All abortions will now immediately become illegal in 13 states, with other Republican states sure to follow. This is the most disastrous decision the Court has ever made in my lifetime.

The fight for Roe v Wade was unrelenting, and now we must fight back harder than we have ever fought. We MUST expand our Democratic Senate majority this November and codify Roe v Wade once and for all.

I’m running for Senate against Chuck Grassley, who as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee conspired with Mitch McConnell to block Merrick Garland and confirm Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. This will be Grassley’s legacy.

We’ve set a rapid response goal to raise $100,000 to turn Iowa blue and expand our Democratic majority in the Senate, but I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give now if we’re going to codify Roe:

Please, will you give $5 or more right now – every dollar you can spare – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and expand our Democratic Senate majority so we can finally codify Roe v Wade as law?

Women’s rights are on the line. And we are going to fight like hell.

Thank you for doing your part,

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