Hello,

This is huge news: Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight just INCREASED Democrat Mike Franken’s chances of defeating Chuck Grassley in Iowa!

Admiral Mike Franken has been steadily gaining in the polls. A brand-new poll from the Des Moines Register (who FiveThirtyEight calls the "best pollster in politics) even shows them in a statistically TIED race. But Grassley and the GOP are already responding to this news with even MORE attack ads smearing Mike Franken’s military service.

Despite being the first Democrat to ever outraise Grassley for 6 straight months, we’re now being drowned out on TV. We need to raise another $100,000 before midnight tonight to fight back, but right now we’re still very short. That's why a group of donors just offered to MATCH ALL GIFTS until midnight tonight!

The only way we’ll win and send Grassley packing this November is if grassroots donors like you give right now and get every dollar DOUBLED:

Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now directly to Mike Franken’s campaign – every dollar you can spare before midnight tonight will be DOUBLED – to help him defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you for everything you do for our campaign,

Team Franken
