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: You try so hard to be cute...  Has anyone ever told you that is embarrassing coming from a man pushing 70? I am really surprised you have not advocated for the lunar calendar used by Islam to let them know what a "nice guy" you are and that you welcome their invasion of America, Sharia Law, marrying cousins and beating wives.  That should get a lot of laughs and that seems to be what you are all about Al, being cute.  You are not cute.  You are not serious.  The role you are in now is not stand up or network television, even though you seem to find TV cameras as fast as Chuck Schumer. Try as you may, you will never beat Chuck for getting in front of TV cameras and looking sharp.  Eat you heart out, Al. Adrian Vance
