Subject: I, Al Franken, Want to Call Your Crazy Conservative Friend
Dear MVP Supporter,
When I asked you to vote (with your wallet) for your favorite of our
ten nominated candidates, I told you we'd give $5,000 to the winner
(Victoria Wulsin), and that we might be able to give a little bit to
some of the other candidates.
Well, you responded - big time. How big? So big that we've sent a
$2500 check to each of the other nominees: Jason Altmire, Joe Sestak,
Eric Massa, Joe Courtney, Diane Farrell, Charlie Brown, Scott Kleeb,
Gary Trauner, and Steve Kagen. We've also increased our commitment
to Lois Murphy, Patrick Murphy, Dan Seals, and Jerry McNerney. And,
on top of THAT, we've added another seven candidates to our roster
of MVPs: Nancy Boyda in Kansas, Jill Derby in Nevada, Larry Grant in
Idaho (!), Paul Hodes in New Hampshire, Mary Jo Kilroy in Ohio, Ron
Klein in Florida, and Harry Mitchell in Arizona. That's $50,000 out
the door in one day - nice work, everybody!
We told you earlier this week that we've gone over a million dollars
raised since we started last fall, and I want to thank you for helping
us get there. If you'd like to help us add even more candidates to
our roster of MVPs, you know what to do.

And, as a special incentive, I'm offering the most valuable thing I
have to offer: me, yelling at your obnoxious conservative friend on
your behalf. If you contribute at least $500 to Midwest Values PAC,
I will personally call a right-wing pal of your choosing between now
and Election Day and tell them why the Democratic Party represents a
better vision for America's future, or at least one in which fewer
Congressmen go to prison. If they resist, I'll confront them with
my trademark brand of scorn and ridicule.
The way I see it, you all have been doing great work helping MVP to
support progressive candidates nationwide. But the only thing more
fun than supporting progressives is turning conservatives into
progressives. Or making fun of them. And I hope I get a chance to
yell at many of your friends between now and Election Day.
Sincerely,
Al Franken
