We Outraise Norm - Again!
Posted in Press Releases on January 7th, 2008
A couple hours after we sent out the email below, Norm Coleman announced his own fundraising numbers. Turns out, we outraised him yet again! And we did it without taking a dime from the Big Oil, Big Insurance, and Big Pharmaceutical PACs he relies on - we did it with you, and 81,414 other Americans who want to see change in Washington.
You came through so loud and clear in 2007 that we’re ready to send our own signal in 2008. Al’s hitting the airwaves soon - thanks to your support!
Dear Friend,
As you might have noticed, we lean on you pretty hard for financial support around the end of every reporting period – but that’s because, now that the quarter’s over, every political reporter in town is calling me wanting to know whether our amazing fundraising momentum has continued for another quarter.
When the phone starts ringing this morning, we’ll be able to answer that question with a resounding “Yes!” But since you made it possible, we’re sharing our success with you first.
We’re proud to announce that, in the fourth fundraising quarter, we raised nearly $1.9 million. And we’re even prouder to announce that, since Al began his campaign, we’ve received contributions from over 81,000 people. Read that again. Over 81,000 people have invested in our campaign for change.
With that kind of support, we’re ready to make another exciting announcement.
But I think I should let Al do the honors. So click on the link to watch a YouTube video we recorded over the weekend.
As you can tell, January’s going to be a fantastic month for our campaign. In fact, later this week, we’ll be announcing our newest endorsements, with more to come throughout the month.
And don’t forget about the DFL Precinct Caucuses taking place on Tuesday, February 5. If you haven’t already signed up to join our Caucus Team, please take a moment to click here and do so.

As great as 2007 was, 2008 will be even better. This is the year we’re going to retire Norm Coleman and send Al to Washington with a mandate to create real change. And we’re going to do it the same way we built this campaign in 2007: together.
Thanks for all you’ve done and all you’ll do!
