My friend Rick Nolan needs your help.

Let me tell you about Rick. When we served together, many members of Congress had tremendous respect for him -- his honesty, focus, and courage were well-known. Rick has always had a tremendous ability to reach across the aisle and provide common sense solutions to the issues we face, avoiding the partisan bickering that has become all too common today.

Rick has been a small business owner, a job creator, an educator, and an elected official. This is exactly the mixture of real world experience we need in Congress today.

I'm writing to you today to ask you to support Rick in his campaign for Congress. Rick has one of the best chances this cycle to flip a red seat back to blue. Moreover, Rick will always be a champion for the middle class and will always fight for what's right, not what's politically convenient.

Please join me by pitching in $X today to help send Rick to Congress.

I'm not the only one who has taken note of Rick Nolan. The Republicans have too, and they know that his record is a threat to Chip Cravaack. Republican Super PACs are pulling out all of their tricks to try to stop Rick. Billionaires like the Koch Brothers have already poured millions of dollars into the district to try to distort Rick's record.

So far it hasn't worked -- Rick is leading in the polls! But with less than two weeks to go, we can't leave anything to chance.

Pitch in $X now to help defend Rick from these deceitful attacks and help us put a good Democrat back in office.

These next two weeks are going to be tough. But with your help, I know that we will be successful. We'll take the House back and support President Obama's agenda.

Sincerely,

Al Gore
