Love, love, love Al Franken! He is amazing, speaks his mind, and does not back down. Great man! Wonderful!

Al Franken is one of the best senators of the current congress.

Doing a great job, thanks for persevering, important albeit self-censored voice for states rights. You're brave to endure that bunch.

@123lovegun Actually, I'm not. Unlike people from your party, democrats actually have a grassroots following. Most of the GOP's so-called "grassroots" movements are corporate sponsored. I'm a regular, middle-class American that doesn't believe in corporate tyranny. Thanks.

I would like to know the dif between the amout of revenue brought in through traffic tickets during the time 60's 70's and 90's and 00's and just how much in fines and punishment have brought us to the 70% in fatalities by use of seatbelts. How much it has costed everyone to drive 20mile per hr. faster on the road and the design of the vichicals lend to the mix. On the autobond is the same information true, about the use of belts and fines sinomonious with other countrys? We miss Air America.

@candiceevans1 Franken's talked about the mandatiory arbitration that deny CITIZENS their day in court. That decsion was just made; yet conservatives and tea party members ignore the outrage of that decision. That says alot about the motivations of these so-called Conservatives. I learned a long time ago to listen to what senators say & support what I agree with . Lacing your comments with insults and profanity says alot about you. You are a e-baller: a person who talks big smack online.

I clicked on that soccer ball icon. It really adds drama to Al's opening remarks.

Well, it's not actually accurate to say the Court made it easier to fire old people. In reality, they just said, "old people decisions should be left to the legislature."

But. none of these politicians really know what the hell they are talking about. He at least sounded decent talking idiocy.

@candiceevans1 It is to a certain degree. It is responsible for defending the country from external threats, for protecting minority rights, and for protecting the public from crime.
