Al Franken needs your support in Minnesota

Al Franken, a Democrat, progressive talk radio host and former Saturday Night Live comedian, is running for a US Senate seat in Minnesota.
You can help by calling a friend or neighbor to encourage them to vote Democratic.

Franken writes:
Dear Friend,

Three recent polls have me leading Norm Coleman -- but it is close. And we have three weeks (and a day!) until Election Day.

We can win this thing -- but I need your help today.

Our work isn't done -- in fact, as we head into the home stretch, we need to keep expanding our campaign for change to every corner of Minnesota to pull this thing off.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO HELP US KEEP OUR MOMENTUM GOING STRONG!

Right now, we're getting ready to deploy the biggest, most powerful Get-Out-The-Vote operation in Minnesota history. And we're going to finish this race the same way we started it: with a grassroots, people-powered movement for change.

But we cannot afford to let up now that we've pulled ahead. Our staff is working longer hours than ever, Franni and I are campaigning harder than ever, and now is when we need you more than ever.

Your contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford will go directly towards building our organization for the critical final days of the campaign. This race is going to come down to the wire -- and we're not taking anything for granted.

CLICK HERE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TODAY!
Franni and I are so grateful for all you've done to get us this far. But we need your contributions and support from here on out to help us finish strong. And, with your help, we're going to win this thing and I'll be able to join Barack Obama in Washington to change the direction of our country.

Thank you for everything,

Al Franken

Al Franken is one of the leaders of a new movement, along with Obama and Biden, a movement that represents the vast majority of Americans and focuses on meeting our needs for a strong, secure, prosperous and kinder America than Bush and Cheney's ever growing list of misdeeds and scandals have given us. This progressive movement is sweeping aside the aristocratic politics of conservatism that have led to the subprime mortgage crisis, rampant unemployment and other economic woes that keep hitting the poor and middle classes harder and harder.

Support Al in his Senate bid with your blog entry and/or a donation. Help bring humanity, compassion and the middle class back to America.
