Hello,

I’m emailing to ask you to give $5 – and get every dollar DOUBLED! – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley this November.

Here’s why: For months, my campaign has been gaining steam. Last quarter, I was the first Democrat ever to raise more than twice what Chuck Grassley did. A new poll from “the best pollster in politics” shows Grassley’s approval rating is at the lowest it’s ever been. One poll even showed me just ONE point down.

But then everything changed. Chuck Grassley just bought another $2 million in new TV ads against me. And a brand-new poll shows all of the GOP’s attacks are working – we are starting to fall behind!

I don’t take money from corporate PACs or special interests. Instead, my campaign is 100% funded by donations from people like you, with an average gift of just $28.

For only the second time ever, a group of donors just offered to MATCH ALL GIFTS, up to $50,000, to my campaign to hit our critical fundraising goal and fight back, but we’re still falling short, so I have to ask:

Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now to my campaign – your gift will be DOUBLED to $10! – so we can hit our critical goal, defeat Chuck Grassley, and protect our Democratic Senate majority? This is a rare match opportunity where your gift will have TWICE the impact, but I need your help to make the most of it if we're going to win and turn Iowa blue.

No matter what Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell, and their Super PACs throw at us, we have to respond every time or we risk being drowned out in their lies and attacks.

Every dollar you can give today will go twice as far in helping me finally send Grassley packing, so I am truly grateful for whatever you can afford to chip in.

Thanks for everything,

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