Dear Friend,

While Norm Coleman and his pals spend their time launching personal attacks and trying to kick up a cloud of dust around his record, I'm proud to report that Al Franken is out on the campaign trail talking about the issues that matter to Minnesota families.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO HELP US CHANGE WASHINGTON!

Al lays out his plan to bring down the cost of prescription drugs This week alone, Al rolled out plans to lower gas prices and help bring down the cost of prescription drugs for Minnesota seniors. And for the next 96 days, we'll keep talking about common-sense solutions to ease the middle-class squeeze, rebuild our economy, and restore our standing in the world. And, of course, we'll keep holding Norm Coleman accountable for standing with George Bush and the special interests instead of the people of Minnesota.

But we need your help – with less than a hundred days to go, now is the time to make a contribution – $25, $50, or as much as you can afford – to help us keep our momentum going strong. Every contribution makes a difference – what really matters is that you take five minutes this morning to click that link and help us win.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO HELP US CHANGE WASHINGTON!

I know November might still seem like it's a long way away, but here at HQ, things are heating up – so please consider making a contribution to our people-powered campaign today.

Thanks for all you do!

2. "The United States Senate race in Minnesota remains a toss-up."

The United States Senate race in Minnesota remains a toss-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Minnesota voters shows Republican incumbent Norm Coleman attracting 44% of the vote and challenger Al Franken earning 43%. Two weeks ago, it was Franken by two. A month ago, it was Coleman by three.

Franken’s support has stayed between 43% and 45% in five straight polls. Coleman’s support had been in the 46% to 50% range for five straight polls conducted from February through June. However, his support has been lower in a pair of July polls.

When leaners are included in the current poll, it’s Franken with a slight edge, 49% to 46%. Leaners are survey participants who initially don’t support either candidate but express a preference for one candidate during a follow-up question.

Other polls show Senator Norm Coleman (R) in the lead.

Al Franken needs our help.
