| Imagine a cold January morning in 2013. Your robot butler gently awakens you with a mug of steaming hot moon coffee, and you slip on your virtual reality glasses to scan the news before hopping in your hovercar to work. And as you telekinetically switch over to C-SPAN, you see — in ultra-high definition — a whole new wave of progressive fighters leading the charge in the U.S. Senate. Okay, so I may be a little ambitious about the new technology that might come out between now and next January. But the “new wave of progressive fighters” thing? That’s totally doable.  Elizabeth Warren. Tammy Baldwin. Martin Heinrich. Chris Murphy. Mazie Hirono. All these great leaders and more could join Sherrod Brown, Sheldon Whitehouse, and me in the Senate next year. And your support of Midwest Values PAC can help make it happen! Click here to make one last contribution this year so we can do even more for even more great progressives around the country. Already this year, grassroots support of MVP has made it possible for us to stand with more than a dozen great candidates for the U.S. Senate — as well as outstanding House candidates like Tammy Duckworth and Christie Vilsack. And, just to be clear, by “stand with,” I mean “give money to.” Money that’s already helping these candidates get their message out and build the kind of people-powered grassroots organizations that win elections. But the more progressives we can stand with (give money to), the bigger an impact we can have when the next Congress starts in January. And we don’t have much time. The contribution you make to MVP right now could be in the hands of a deserving progressive candidate within days, and deployed as part of their final push not long after that. So act fast. In fact, act now. And, as always, by “act,” I mean give money. Click here to help Midwest Values PAC help great progressives in the final days of the campaign. I’m so excited about all the incredible things we could do with all those great progressives standing together in the Senate. And I hope you’re ready to stand with Midwest Values PAC to make it happen. Thanks,

a message from Senator Al Franken
I have an idea for how to stop the right-wing war on women: Elect more women and fewer right-wingers.
That’s why, in 2012, my Midwest Values PAC is standing with longtime champions like Dianne Feinstein, Claire McCaskill, Kirsten Gillibrand, and, of course, Minnesota’s own Amy Klobuchar. And it’s why we’re fighting to elect more women like Tammy Baldwin and Shelley Berkley and Elizabeth Warren to the Senate, and women like Christie Vilsack and Tammy Duckworth to the House.
And, just to be clear, by “standing with” and “supporting,” I mean “giving money to.” Kind of a lot of it, actually. But don’t thank me — thank your fellow MVP members. Your contributions — yes, even the little ones — are going straight to great candidates facing tough fights in 2012. Click here to make one of those contributions today!
Electing more women is a big part of what we need to do in 2012. But great progressives across the country — from Sheldon Whitehouse and Bernie Sanders to Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester — are on ballots this year, and MVP is right there with them.
The same goes for the terrific Democrats who represent Minnesota in the House — Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Betty McCollum. We’re there with them, too.
And I’m proud that MVP is fighting to take back the Minnesota legislature and defeat the anti-marriage equality ballot amendment in my home state.
That’s a lot of important causes. And MVP is giving out a lot of money to them. And that’s all because people like you clicked on links like this one and helped us build this organization into a powerful progressive force.
I want to do more — much more. I want to elect more women, support more progressive champions, win more races. But it all depends on you.
Thanks for making me look good.

P.S.: I am also looking forward to employing more “extra asks” in the P.S. section of emails. But I need you to help me prove that it works. Won’t you click here to make a contribution today?

With so much at stake in 2012, I’m doing everything I can to help Democrats win across Minnesota and around the country. But every time someone asks me if Midwest Values PAC (MVP) can help out another great candidate, the answer is the same: “I’ll have to ask my team.” By which I mean you.
After all, it’s your support that has made it possible for MVP to get involved in some of 2012’s most important races, supporting progressive heroes like Sherrod Brown and Kirsten Gillibrand. And, of course, we’re standing with Minnesota’s own Amy Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, and Tim Walz.
I’ll give you a perfect example: Elizabeth Warren. This progressive champion and consumer crusader is running for Senate in Massachusetts, and she’d be a powerful voice standing up to the special interests in Washington.
I’m proud to give her my endorsement — but I want to be able to do more. Your contribution to Midwest Values PAC will make it possible for me to stand with even more great candidates like Elizabeth when they need it most — so click here to donate today!
I wish I could help every single one of our party’s great candidates stand up for Medicare and Social Security, fight for good jobs and clean energy, and take on the right-wing special interests. And with the Senate majority at stake — and the House in play — there are lots of races to choose from.
I’ll keep fighting to support progressive candidates around the country no matter what. But MVP can only help if MVP members like you are there with me.
So, on behalf of all the progressives hoping MVP will be there for them: How about it? Can you contribute a few dollars to help me elect great Democrats in 2012?
Thanks for all you to do support me — and all the other great progressives out there.
Al
