Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of Katie McGinty’s (D. PA) U.S. Senate campaign:
When Katie McGinty called the scientists at the Franken Center for Innovation in Fundraising Emails (FCIFE), they patched the call through to me right away (they know I'm a big fan of Katie's).
I thought about giving her the fundraising email that secretly knows whether you root for the Steelers or the Eagles, but that's still a bit buggy. And our fundraising email that shovels your driveway is still being tested back in Minnesota.
So I told her the truth: she doesn't need help from the scientists at the FCIFE, she just needs you to know how critical this race is. So in case you somehow missed it: this race is important. Very important.
Katie’s race is going to be a close contest that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Chip in $5 now to make sure we don’t miss this opportunity to send a true progressive champion to Washington.
Look, I'm sending this email because I know Katie will be a great senator who I will be able to count on to take on the tough challenges and vote the right way. She will be a fighter for our Democratic values. And I also know that if we're hoping to take back the majority in the Senate, we've got to win in Pennsylvania.
Katie’s on our side and we need to be on hers. Contribute $5 now to put Katie on the path to victory.
Thanks for helping me help Katie.
Al
P.S. Fine, we'll do one gimmick. The P.S. is a Franken classic -- don't forget to contribute to Katie's campaign right away.
