mole333 mole333@hotmail.com We won some excellent victories in Minnesota in 2006 and 2008. We need to defend those wins and keep the momentum going. Minnesota tends to be among the most progressive states in the country and is one of the states that gives us our best Democrats (e.g. Al Franken). However, there are some particularly nasty Republicans in MN we need to defeat (e.g. Erik Paulsen and the particularly extremist Michele Bachmann). Those are two races that we can win in 2010 if we try hard. public true 445.00 9 Al Franken false MN-Sen franken 4800.00 512622.75 17067 http://www.alfranken.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/16471 180.00 7 Al Franken has proveen to be among the best and most articulate of Senators. But he will be heavily targeted in years to come and we can't start his defense early enough.

He has been one of the Democrats from a traditionally Republican district who stood up for Healthcare Reform. This is a seat well worth defending.

MN-03 Democratic Nominee Fund false MN-03 mn-03 democratic nominee fund 2400.00 0.00 0 http:// https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/21942 0.00 0 This is a Republican seat that is considered one of the close races of 2010, so we have a shot of winning this. This seat is currently held by Erik Paulsen (R) who barely won in 2008. It may turn out to be one of the most endangered Republican seats in the country, so lets push to win this one. Contributions to this fund will be sent to the Democratic nominee upon his or her selection.

Just remember Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004 to understand what a corrupt secretary of state can do. Mark Ritchie is an excellent secretary of state for Minnesota who deserves our continued support.

The incumbent Republican was one of the worst, rubber stamping most of Bsuh's agenda. Against all odds we won this one!
