Senator Al Franken (D. MN) is helping his old buddy, former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe (D. VA) keep his campaign well-funded as he faces off against right-wing nut job, Ken Cuccinelli (R. VA):
Election Day is right around the corner.
I’m referring, of course, to Election Day in Virginia, where there’s a huge governor’s race going on right now. And the Democratic candidate is a great guy named Terry McAuliffe.
Help me help Terry win by contributing $10 or more to his Rapid Response Fund -- they need to raise $200,000 in September to stay on track!

This is an important test. A test of whether an energetic Democrat like Terry McAuliffe can win against an avalanche of right-wing special interest money.
And, most of all, a test of whether grassroots progressives like you and me have what it takes to win an election that’s been a toss-up all the way.
Terry would make a great governor for Virginia. Nobody has more energy when it comes to building the middle class and creating jobs. And nobody has done more to help Democrats across the country win.
Now it’s our turn to help Terry -- by helping his campaign raise $200,000 in September for their Rapid Response Fund.

This time next year, it’ll be our turn to count the hours until the polls open. And you can bet Terry would want to be out there with us. But I’d rather see him leading the state of Virginia. And if you want to help me help him, now’s your chance.
Please make a contribution today!

Thanks,
Al
P.S.: I’ve seen how hard Terry has fought to support Democrats for years. And I know how hard he’ll work to create jobs and build Virginia’s middle class. He really is one of us -- and now’s the time to stand with him. Please click here to contribute $10 or more today!

I also received a second fundraising e-mail from former President Bill Clinton in support of McAuliffe's campaign:
I'm going to make a prediction.
Hours — maybe minutes if they're quick on their feet — but probably hours after I send this email, Terry's opponent's campaign is going to try and raise some money off of it.
"Bill Clinton's just stepping in," they'll tell their supporters, "because Terry's one of his best friends."
That's absolutely true. Terry is my friend, but my reasons for writing you today go way beyond that.
I'm writing because it makes a difference who the next Governor of Virginia is, and it makes a difference what policies he'll fight for. And I know Terry will fight for the right things as Governor.
But Terry's going to need people like you and me in his corner if he's going to fight back all the attacks coming his way from Ken Cuccinelli's Tea Party allies — please give $5 or whatever you can afford to support Terry's campaign:

Terry's got a lot of fight in him, and he'll use it to move this great Commonwealth forward — not back.
He knows that the engine of economic growth is education — so he'll improve and support our public schools and community colleges.
He believes that growing our economy means giving everyone a stake in it — so he'll build a Virginia where everyone has a chance to succeed.
He'll focus on what brings Virginians together, not what divides them. And above all, he'll put job creation first.
If that's a vision you support, please do everything you can to elect Terry.
Donate $5 right now to make sure he has the resources he needs to reach every voter in Virginia:

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
