Shame on You!

For last month’s fundraising deadline, I offered to humiliate myself physically and emotionally — and it was one of my most successful fundraising emails this year! You sick people helped us raise a lot of money that will go directly to worthy Democratic candidates and organizations in key states.

Thank you.

I didn’t want to write an email in which I offered to debase myself for money, but Alexandra Fetissoff, my Chief of Staff, swore that it would be wildly successful.

So, here goes. If you donate ahead of tomorrow’s end-of-month deadline to support Democrats running for office in absolutely critical races, I WILL READ SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR, PUPPY KILLER, AND TRUMP VP HOPEFUL KRISTI NOEM’S NEW BOOK, “NO GOING BACK.”

Word for fucking word!

I hope you’re happy!

Al

P.S. For the record — I love dogs, so this will be very painful for me!

P.P.S. Word for the wise (and J.D. Vance): If you’ve ever killed a puppy, don’t tell anybody about it. Or, publish it in a book.

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.
