Dear Friend:

The polls continue to show us with a slight lead.  As a result, the Governor has pulled out his bucket of mud.  I expect Tim Pawlenty to make this a very dirty race in these final two weeks.

Bill Clinton emphasized the importance of responding to negative attacks in the final days of a campaign.  To that end, we have prepared a response to the “Medica ad,” where the lady claims that I “took over” her HMO.  We are also airing a response to the “Judge ad,” which refers to the comments of the Judge who said I couldn’t remove the court administrators of Medica even though they issued themselves free health insurance policies, $100,000 salaries, and made themselves the Board of Directors of the HMO.

In the meantime, we have also prepared a new set of commercials to get our positive message out to the voters.

Because of the extent and breadth of the Governor’s negative attack ads, I need to raise money in order to air our responses.  We can win this campaign, but only if I can show the desperate and false nature of the Governor’s attacks.  I ask that you make an online donation today.  Every penny you donate will be used to communicate our message to the public.

I thank you for all of your help and support.  Our tracking poll still shows us with a lead, but this will be a close race in the end.  We are close to victory.  We are close to changing the course of Minnesota.  Please help me one more time!
