There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

Talk:Al Franken
Why aren't there links to his many books on this page? Does RW have any information regarding his books? — Unsigned, by: Sethpeck / talk / contribs 17:40, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Fundraising email[edit]
Still manages to keep his humor strong during his Senate service (though he may have help from assistants)...I got this in an email today:
Dear Whomever:
1808: Charles Cotesworth Pinckney’s campaign sends history’s first fundraising email, requesting 75 cents to “help defeat the scourge of the Embargo Act of 1807.” Note: 75 cents would be around $10 in today’s dollars.
1828: Andrew Jackson’s campaign asks supporters to “give a Jackson to stand with Jackson.” This failed because Andrew Jackson was not yet on the $20 bill and no one had any clue what he was talking about.
1924: Calvin Coolidge earns the nickname “Silent Cal” after his web team accidentally sends out a blank fundraising email. (It does surprisingly well.)
2012: You donates $5, $10, or even $20 to help my campaign raise the $20,000 we need to keep our operation going and growing this month.
