Sorry for missing this but I received this e-mail yesterday from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of Doug Jones’ (D. AL) U.S. Senate campaign:
There is one race for U.S. Senate going on in 2017 -- the Alabama special election to replace Jeff Sessions.
That means we have exactly one chance left this year to elect someone who will fight to preserve access to affordable, quality health care.
Someone who believes in science and protecting our environment.
Someone who will fight for middle class families.
That someone is Doug Jones -- and he needs our support.
The special election is coming up in December. Can you rush in $5, $10 or more to boost his campaign?
If you learned a little more about Doug, I know you'd like him. One of Doug's grandfathers worked for U.S. Steel. The other was a coal miner. His father also worked for U.S. Steel, and his mother stayed at home with the kids. He was born and raised in Alabama, and worked all the way up to prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and eventually U.S. Attorney.
I want Doug to add "U.S. Senator from Alabama" to that list.
Steve Bannon and the extreme right have their support behind Roy Moore. Moore is an extremist who lost his position as a Chief Judge on the Alabama Supreme Court twice for ignoring the rule of law.
Let's make sure Doug has the power he needs to win. Give $5, $10, or whatever you can to help me help Doug.
Thanks!
Al
P.S.: Did I mention that Doug's team has a goal to reach by the end of this month? Contribute to help get them there!
