Hello People of the World,

[ [link removed] ]It’s me – Al Franken! – interrupting your inbox to hit you up for a
donation to help elect Senator Franken.

Just to be clear: I’m not running for Senate (not right now anyway).

[ [link removed] ]No. I’m emailing you about Admiral Mike Franken, the Democrat running
for Senate in Iowa against the spineless fossil known as Chuck Grassley.

As far as we can tell, Mike and I are not related. But we’ve got a whole
lot else in common.

He’s a retired three-star Admiral who commanded destroyers, fought
pirates, and oversaw covert ops in the U.S. Navy.

Okay. I did none of that.

But I’m a comedy writer who wrote books about Republicans who don’t tell
the truth. And I remember back in 2009, after we Democrats in the Senate
had introduced the Affordable Care Act, Chuck Grassley flat out lied about
it. He said, referring to the so-called “death panels” that the ACA would
determine “when you pulled the plug on grandma.”

Grassley had to walk that back. But then he voted against the ACA. And did
so repeatedly, year after year. But finally, after learning that Americans
and Iowans overwhelmingly like the health care coverage they get under the
Affordable Care Act, Grassley has pledged NOT to vote to change it!

Mike Franken is a man of integrity. And he’s got a real shot at defeating
Chuck. But this race could be as close as my first one was. And that other
spineless fossil, Mitch McConnell, and his Super PAC buddies are going to
drop millions to try to win it.

If Mike Franken is going to follow in my footsteps and become the next
Senator Franken, he needs people like you to chip in to his campaign
today:

[ [link removed] ]I’m personally asking you to split $10 now (or whatever
amount your heart desires) between Mike’s campaign and our friends at 314
Action to help him defeat Chuck Grassley this November and protect
Democrats’ majority in the Senate.

If you’ve stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation
will be immediately split between Mike Franken and 314 Action Fund.

Control of the Senate is at stake – and our democracy is on the ballot.

On behalf of the entire Franken clan, thank you.
