A Note From Al Franken

It's almost the end of the month of Al-uary, Adrian -- and we're still short of our $20,000 goal. Can you rush in a contribution in the next 36 hours?! If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $5 Express Donate: $10 Express Donate: $25 Or donate another amount. What is the month of Al-uary? I'm so glad you asked. In just a few weeks, some big issues are coming up. Net neutrality is at risk. Congress needs to put together a budget. We'll be debating infrastructure investments and a whole host of other important things. ​Knowing all that, t​he scientists at the Al Franken Center for Innovation in Fundraising Emails didn't think one end-of-month deadline in August was nearly enough. So they came up with Al-uary -- our fundraising month in which we need to raise $20,000. We only have another 36 hours in Al-uary to reach this goal. Obviously it’s not a real month, but we still can't miss this. If you can, chip in. Thanks for celebrating Al-uary. Al P.S.: During Al-uary, we also celebrate "Double P.S. Ask Day." Give $5 or more. But really, click here to give, ---------------------------------- Dear Al:   I guess this is meant to be funny, but it is not and where it is typical of your humor I can see why you ran for the Senate. Now you call yourself "The Lion of the Senate?"  Have you ever been in therapy, Al?  And, I do not mean that small Norwegian town in Minnesota of the same name. I have been there once and that was more than enough. Why don't you use the Islamic lunar calendar that has 13 months of 28 days?  That gives you a full additional month for begging and automatically increases your take by eight percent, which is not monumental, but think of the issue in it! If people complain you can accuse them of being Republicans committing the hate crime of Islamic prejudice and throw a few "everybody knows" jabs at them.  This "Al-uary" thing is really a telling note from Al Franken.
