Received this e-mail today from Congressional candidate Jim Graves (D. MN-06):
Rep. Michele Bachmann announced this morning that she will not seek re-election.
First, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the enormous impact you’ve had. Your effort in this campaign has proven that a grassroots movement can make a real difference to our country – as you can see, it already has.
Now we have an opportunity. Now we can finish the conversation we were so eager to have – about protecting our shared values and creating economic opportunity for all Minnesotans.
This is an important moment, but our work is not done. Surely, Rep. Bachmann’s allies – and their resources – aren’t going anywhere. Their goal remains the same.
Let’s show them we’re ready to seize the moment and finish what we started.

I wish Michele and her family the best, I really do. But we have an unbelievable opportunity now for a new dialogue, one that focuses on what unites us, not what divides us. What we share in common, not what makes us different.
This is the chance we’ve worked so long and so hard for. We can’t let anyone take it away from us but it won’t be that simple. We need to prove that we are committed to fighting for what we believe in, no matter what.
Before extremists who control Congress can redouble their efforts, we need to act. We need to send a message that the wind is at our backs and we’re not stopping.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to get us to this point. None of our work was ever possible without you.
Jim
