Paul's sons asked Mondale to continue Paul's tradition in the Senate by running in his place. Wednesday night, Mondale was officially named the Democratic candidate in the Minnesota race. Yesterday, the GOP went into full attack mode. The White House announced that Vice President Dick Cheney, First Lady Laura Bush and President Bush would make successive appearances in Minnesota, beginning today, for Wellstone's opponent Norm Coleman. We've been talking with the Mondale campaign, and they're emotionally exhausted and besieged. Mondale has no staff, no media dollars, and no web site. GOP attacks keep coming, and the money keeps rolling in for Coleman -- the Republicans now see this as a winnable race. Mondale and his volunteer staff are good people running under the most difficult of personal and political conditions. We've just got to help. We've set up a way to give to the Mondale campaign through our web site. They need to raise at least one million dollars TODAY to counter the GOP onslaught. We're working to raise $100,000 of that by 8pm Eastern Time, so we can get a check to the campaign overnight. We'll deliver another check at 8 pm EST on Saturday. Please give whatever you can to help at: moveonpac.org We're including three other candidates on this donation page who are in races that are rapidly tightening. Chellie Pingree and Bill Bradbury have been outspoken opponents of the Iraq war resolution and all three would make excellent U.S. Senators. We talk to the campaigns each and every day and every dollar counts. Please help us win this one for Paul. Thank you, --Wes, Joan, Peter, Carrie, Eli, and Doug MoveOn.org PAC November 1st, 2002 P.S.
