Enough is enough. Minnesota needs two Senators. And Republicans need to accept the fact that we will have 60 Democratic Senators.

We're almost there.

Still, the national Republican party has sunk hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars into endless legal wrangling, thinking that it's money well-spent if it just blocks seating another Democratic Senator who can help pass President Obama's agenda.

Can you please help Al Franken fight back against the money of the Republican Party and win his legal fight? Click on this link to help:

The legal bills are constantly mounting, but the Republican Party fights on. They know what we can do to strengthen our country with another Democratic vote, the 60th vote that can break filibusters and end the obstructionism of the Republican Party. Al Franken won, but every day the Republican Party delays his certification is a day they count as a victory.

Let's give Al the resources he needs to put an end to this fight and start fighting the battles that really matter, the battles that will improve our country and start meeting the challenges of the 21st century.

Please make a contribution to Al's legal fund to give him the resources he needs to fight:

Thank you so much for your help. The fights for health care reform and a new energy future are approaching a crucial stage, and I'll be in touch to keep you updated on what's happening and other ways you can fight for a better future.

Sincerely,
John Kerry

1. 60 - DLC - Blue Dogs - DINOs = x
Sure they'll all be on board for the easy and most popular votes, as well as anything that doesn't harm the profits of corporations, but *real* change is going to require far more than 60 generic (D) votes.

We're not going to win any of the important fights unless we:
1) Scare the shit out of the incumbents and force them to work for the people.
2) Replace many more of the Corporocrats in the next two elections.

4. Change the minds of the constituents
who vote for Blue Dogs and DLC and Dinos. Have you seen Obama's approval ratings in some of the "blue dog" states?
