Category: From the Desk of Al Franken

YIKES!

If you’ve followed my career, you know that I have never been a fan of Republicans. In 1995, I wrote Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations. 

LET’S NOT BLOW IT!

Mostly, because of horrible events. Uvalde. Roe overturned. The January 6th hearings. Although you could argue that the third has been pretty fantastic.

Stop the Nutcases!

You may have noticed that the Department of Justice is now doing an active investigation of former President Trump.

Shame on You!

My last email, in which I offered to humiliate myself physically and emotionally, was my most successful fundraising email to date. You sick people set a fundraising record for these PAC emails – raising money that will go directly to worthy Democratic candidates in key states.

I Will Bathe in Expired Milk!

This election cycle is so important that I am willing to go to desperate ends to raise money to help Democrats win in key races!
I am begging! Do you want to step on me? Is that your thing?

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
