Hello,

There are critical updates in Mike Franken’s race to defeat Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue.

FIRST: A poll from the highly-respected Des Moines Register showed that only 27% of likely Iowa voters want to reelect Republican Chuck Grassley.

THEN: Admiral Mike Franken announced he was running for Senate against Chuck Grassley – giving Democrats’ our best chance EVER to defeat Grassley and turn Iowa blue.

BUT NOW: With just days until our first mid-month deadline, we’re still behind on hitting our $50,000 fundraising goal, and we cannot afford to fall short.

Unless we hit our mid-month fundraising goal, we could lose our one chance to help Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley – and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate. There’s still time to make up the difference, but we’re counting on grassroots donors like you to give now if we’re going to elect Mike Franken and turn Iowa blue.

Senate control is at stake here in Iowa. Please, can we count on you to chip in $5, $25, or whatever you can afford now – before our critical mid-month deadline – to help Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?
