Hello,

Fox “News” just published yet another hit piece against me.

The “reporter” reached out for comment, but they get the same answer as Russian TV: I don’t participate in the production of propaganda.

The attacks from Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell, and the Fox ‘Entertainment’ News propaganda machine have not stopped. They’re going to keep spinning lie after lie from now until Election Day – anything to try to stop me from beating Grassley and turning Iowa blue.

They’re scared. Chuck Grassley has never faced an opponent like me before. A retired military guy with rural roots who is outraising him because of grassroots donors like you? Grassley’s in trouble. Even a brand-new poll from the gold-standard Des Moines Register shows me just THREE points down!

We can win, but we have to fight back now – and we have to fight back hard. That's why a group of donors just offered to MATCH ALL GIFTS until midnight tonight to help us hit our $150,000 fundraising goal and keep running our TV ads.

But if I’m going to send Grassley packing, I need grassroots donors like you to give now and get every dollar DOUBLED – before this match expires at midnight:

Please, if you’re able to, will you chip in $5 or more right now – whatever you can afford will be DOUBLED and go TWICE as far – to help me defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

I’m not afraid of Fox, but I can’t take on their lies alone.

I’m so grateful for your support,

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