Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D. WI) re-election campaign:
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D. WI)
Wisconsinites seem obsessed with cheese.
Their football fans wear Cheddarheads. They have a thing called the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival. They made cheese their state's "official dairy product." They're just really proud of cheese.
So when I heard that my friend Senator Tammy Baldwin (from Wisconsin) was hosting a Day of Online Action called a Cheddarbomb, I can't say I was surprised. I may have shaken my head a little. Only a little.
But regardless of the name, it's the concept that's important. Tammy is up for reelection in 2018 and she's already got shady millionaires investing millions of dollars against her.
She needs our help. So here goes.
Tammy's Cheddarbomb goal is to raise $30,000 by midnight. Will you help her out by making a contribution?
Tammy is an ally in the Senate we really can't live without.
She's one of the most dedicated progressives I've worked with. When it comes to leveling the playing field for Wisconsin families and small businesses, and prioritizing people over the powerful, Tammy doesn't mess around. She works incredibly hard and doesn’t give up.
She's working to end Citizens United. She wants to raise the federal minimum wage and lower the cost of college education. She is dedicated to building a Made in America economy and strengthening manufacturing.
Tammy Baldwin is just a great Senator. And I'm not just being biased because Minnesota and Wisconsin are right next door to each other. She's always got our backs -- except when it comes to football. That, of course, she can’t be trusted on.
So let's make sure we've got hers. Help me help Tammy's team reach their $30,000 Cheddarbomb goal in the next 11 hours. Give whatever amount you can today >>
Thanks.
Al
P.S.: I made it through that whole email without a single cheese pun. Not one. I'm kinda proud of that. But I'll be even prouder if Team Franken gets Tammy to her Cheddarbomb goal early. So please give if you can.
