Dear Hunter,

I don't think this will come as a huge shock to any of you -- since Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United and McCutcheon--but our democracy is being hacked by special interest groups and super PACs.

These groups are backed by big names like the Koch brothers. They're spending millions of dollars to attack progressive leaders all across the country, including my
good friend, Al Franken.

Why? Because Al has the audacity to fight for the people. He calls out special interests for ignoring the dangers of the climate crisis, and pushes for action. He fights for consumers and to protect net neutrality. And he is working to make higher education more affordable.

So obviously, special interest groups think Al must go.

How do we take back control of our democracy in the face of all that spending? We come together and take action.

There's a big goal coming up, and Al is just about $40,000 away from the $300,000 he needs. Can you contribute $5 to help?

Special interest groups, with their huge bank accounts and armies of Washington lobbyists, are using their influence to manipulate our democracy and twist it to serve their own purposes.

Al's already been attacked on television, radio and online. There's at least one super PAC devoted entirely to defeating him.

Maybe we can't outspend special interest groups. But if we all come together to stand beside Al, we will gather the kind of numbers that will outweigh all their cash.

Grassroots organizing is the way we win against the perversion of our democracy. Today I'm standing with Al. And I'm asking you, Hunter, to do the same.

Only $40,000 to go with just 4 days until our deadline. Give now.

Thank you for your help today.

Al Gore
