Sen. Franken's Amendment to Force Corporations To Give Assault Victims Day In Court

[UdderPunch6]

They voted against this amendment??? Unbelievable.

[erikp1999]

Anti-Al posts don't belong on this video. If you don't like Al for one of his other policies thats okay. But to blast him and other democrats on a video where he stands up for sexual assault victims, that is pretty low. Franken is introducing a bill to give more rights to rape victims. If you are against helping rape victims because a Dem thought of it, you've got problems. WWJD

[FrozenEMT]

Thank God Senator Franken won his bid and court battle to take up his rightfully elected place in the Senate. He is not just fighting for Minnesota, but for justice and equal treatment to all Americans and he is doing it without backing down and in the light of day unlike many Senators who sneak things in at the last minute in the shadows of procedural nonsense.

[frankystein12]

Yeah! Go Al!

[mikepattyshu]

ahhh the evel Halliburton!! ACORN got what they payed for with this guy

[Inferno41]

those insidious ACORN people! They've got their slimy tendrils in everything! I think they even put that hair in my soup i ate yesterday!

[sensodyneuser]

Being a Democrat has always been about standing up to bullies. Senator Franken has dedicated a lot of time to championing this one particular injustice, but the sad truth is all this matter is to corporations is a small loss of revenue. They'll spend the rest smearing another Democrat or shifting the focus to some kind of ridiculous cause on FOX TV.

Simpleton Al Franken

That title fits much better than Senator !

[oneirishpoet]

dear mstaken...you are obviously just another pathetic, ignorant, mouth breathn', mentally retarded Repig asshole so I won't even attempt to engage you in debate...my Daddy always said, 'never argue with a Repig, it just frustrates you and irritates the pig'! So I'll go straight to the truth and call you out for the insane, delusional simpleton asshole that you are...continue to show your mentally defective thinking on the Tubes! oh, and go fuck yourself. also

[mstaff657]

ha ha ha

must have rubbed a sore spot !

Pathetic Pile of Shit Liberal !

I have insulted her pot head buddy !

[mstaff657]

funny

she is probably a he often Liberal democratic men are henpecked and bitch just like ugly females .

[mstaff657]

Al Franken is a very naive child.

Welcome to the 5th grade Al Franken.

I have heard 4 grade children read better.

[2007omi]

I did not go through what Ms. Jones did, but Binding Arbritration made my life hell!!! Watch My Money Pit, parts 1-3. I agree Arbitration should be between companies only!!!

[dcgrisham3]

The sick thing is that they're not ashamed. Their god is money...not morality.

[goody2shoes1980]

Way to go Al Franken! Too many women are sexually assaulted in this country and around the world and people bury their head in the sand. You don't get the right to put your hands on another person unless its CONSENSUAL! And if you do then you should pay!!! These contracting companies should be ashamed and shut down!

[dylantuzyk]

Al Franken is a liberal prick trying to force his consensual sex agenda into the homes of our citizens against their will. It's my firm belief that the government should stay out of the bedrooms of our people; it's simply none of their business. Except if the couple is gay. Then it's our business.

Let me ask you something, Franken: Why do you hate America? Do you WANT the terrorists to win, you communist?

Republicans for rape!

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

Coincidently the pro-rape caucus also happens to overlap perfectly with the worst senators.

For example imagine a venn diagram. The worst senators are given a blue circle.

The pro-rape senators are represented by

a yellow circle.

The diagram is a perfectly round green circle.

Full list of the members of the Pro-Rape Caucus is on You Tube. Search this string of keywords... " Maddow Franken rape "

[DiscoRobo]

Keep up the good work! We're proud of you here in Duluth!

[clarisd]

So true and if you want future imployement you sign it. She did not sign it to be Raped repeatedly. GOD only knows what these men did to the children of that country. (I heard laughing in the back ground. Our Gov is so corrupt and this seems to be the only time I have seen what I call good Gov.

[a97304]

Thank you Senator Franken, for showing heart. The aggregious circumstances that preceeded this action may be a wake up call to all Americans. Corporations are all to often principlely interested in their bottom lines and certainly not human rights. Of course the other favor the good Senator does, is bring into the light the 30 Senators whom did not feel rape was a crime. We now know the identidy of the Pro-Rape Caucus. Vote accordingly.

[justinmeditation]

Who are these 30 pro rape Senators?

Please help me identify and expose them!

Fight for America!

Fight for Human rights!

Fight for Truth and Justice!

[jebuff]

BRAVO Senator Franken. Thanks to you & staff. Keep up the good work.

[ThaFunnyGuy]

Thank you Al! since obamas been elected i've been watching more cspan..and i love waching Al speak! i would much rather just listen to our senators and represenatives talk then watch "anchors" on any of the other media outlets

[Boomer1949]

CSPAN junkie here! I work full time, so I use the CSPAN (dot) org web site to watch hearings and mark up secessions and keep up on the latest speeches from the floor. I especially like the Washington Journal because of the call in from the general public from all over the world.

[dwrash]

You should never be able to sign away your right to sue for CRIMINAL actions against you. Al is totally right on this.

I'm glad this is also working it's way through the courts and they are doing the right thing.. but the courts are always necessarily slow in these matters.

I'm not a fan of Al.. but he is dead right on this.

[TheodorP]

I love you Al! Hooray for the Al Franken decade!

[msteeln]

KICK ASS, Al!

[ses6239]

Why the heck is Franken speaking so slowly; one would think his audience is 5 year-olds? Is it because the audience is the U.S. Senate. Anybody who watches CSPAN-2 knows that Sen. Franken is the only Senator in the room!

[shadowtehpwnzor]

ses6239, there's no substance at all in your insult

[Polyphemus47]

Some people simply speak slower than others. It allows for precise choice of words, which can only be commendable in this setting. Some, like myself, have a hard time following people who speak like The Chipmunks. Maybe the gravity of this situation slowed him down a bit.

[Boomer1949]

It's may have been true that there were only a few Senators in the room at the time but the CSPAN cameras were there and people watch CSPAN at home, so who knows how many people were watched his introduction of his bill..maybe millions.

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

No, not millions. Even CNN gets only about 3 million viewers a day

[Boomer1949]

Yes, millions..this is a very hot subject and tracked by several hot on line blogs, so I'm sure this speech has reached millions by now.

[alross18058]

seems the two freshmen senator franken and congressman grayson are rocking the boat and are the only representative that are standing up for the average american and not some corperation that will throw money into their campaign we need a couple of hundred more like them

[nico623]

go franken !

[DC2600]

I can't believe people actually voted against this.

[TonawandaBlue]

The GOP- The Pro-rape party

[mohuju]

Thank you, sir! I am so proud that you are pushing meaningful legislation through!

[artrock101]

Sen. Franklin, you are a good man...

[Chode2235]

Proud of you Senator Franken, it was a vote well cast.

[JoeyPencils]

good stuff

[av8tor17b]

Thank you Senator Franken for your efforts on this!
