Al Franken) -- Welcome to the new sleeper race of 2014?.this is a race that could end up closer than most people expect. This is, after all, a lawmaker who won his first race by fewer than 1,000 votes.? > -- National Journal, 6/25/14 > > > > My race has just been labeled the ?sleeper? Senate race of 2014. But unfortunately, that doesn?t mean we all get to take a relaxing nap -- there are very few siestas involved in grassroots campaigning. In fact, it?s the exact opposite. > > We have to be ready for anything. Because there is no telling how much my opponent or his special interest allies will throw at us. According to the same press account referenced above, my opponent ?has the personal wealth to at least partially self-fund a campaign.? > > Our FEC deadline is less than 48 hours from now. We have about $48,000 left to raise to reach our $250,000 goal. And we need to hit our goal. Really. Seriously. You guys.

There?s a new super PAC in MInnesota which exists entirely for the purpose of defeating me. An outside group -- with ties to the Koch brothers -- has already attacked me on TV. > > And since Citizens United is still in full effect, special interest cash will keep on flowing. But I don?t think my opponent?s huge personal wealth, or the Koch brothers millions, are the sleeper force in this campaign. I think the sleeper force in this race -- the force people often underestimate -- is the collective power of our grassroots movement. > > If we hit this huge $250,000 goal, we will send a message to everyone watching our campaign that we are a grassroots force to be reckoned with. And right now we have under 48 hours left until the FEC deadline. If you can, give $5 or more right now. > > Thanks for your help today. > > Al > > P.S.: People call this race a sleeper, so we can?t afford to hit snooze button.
