Al Franken is bringing his "For the middle class, for a change" tour to Northfield! Posted at 4:18 PM Nov 1, 2008 view more
I am running for US Senate and having an absolute blast. Everywhere I
go-from Nashwauk to Minneapolis, Mankato to Moorhead-- I find huge
crowds of passionate supporters. Throughout the campaign,
I’ll use my MySpace profile to connect and energize voters
from around Minnesota and across the country.
From Hubert Humphrey to Paul Wellstone and now Amy Klobuchar and Tim
Walz, Minnesota's public servants might not always look and sound like
typical politicians--but they stand by their principles and lead by
their values. That's the kind of leader I think we need more of these
days, and that's the kind of Senator I'll be.
I have been married to my wife, Franni, for 31 years--many of them
happy. We are the proud parents of two wonderful children--and my
MySpace “friends”--Thomasin and Joe.
Campaigning keeps me pretty busy so I might not always have time to
reply to every wall post and message myself. My trusted Team Franken
interns will help me respond to some of these, but I will reply when I
have an opportunity. We’ll always let you know
who’s writing on your wall or sending you a message.
I cannot win this race alone. Become a friend, visit my website,
volunteer your time--we’d love to have you on Team Franken!
Go Al!!! I know you can get this done, we need you in the Senate! My buddies in Minnesota are all voting for you & I wish I could too. Thanks so much for your dedication to help get things on track, you are the man!!!
As a two-time Iraq war veteran, I am fully supporting you, Mr. Franken, as Minnesota's next senator. Your ideas for the future of this country are dead on. You have proven that our troops are important to you-for Coleman, they are just an afterthought. Keep the faith in these next few days, you have run a MUCH more positive campaign than the smearing and hateful campaign of Coleman, and it shows that you are the better man. Victory on Nov. 4th!
Although I can't afford to donate to your campaign or to a legal fund to deal with Norm Coleman's standard operating procedure of filing a frivolous lawsuit, I do wish you the best of luck with the rest of your campaign.
hi, al. i can't vote for you..and i don't know anyone in minnesota... but i'm rooting for you!! love your books and am glad you are running for office so you can give 'em hell
I am attending the rally Thursday, just got my email invite today..I really hope to meet you and the President..Its going to be a great night..Im coming from Litchfield im Meeker County..Only ONE week 2 go Al...we can do it!!!!!!!!
The latest Star Tribune "editorial" endorsing Norm Coleman for Senate just make me ... oh what's the word... I'm searching for a cliche here.... ah yes-- it made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. Seriously, gag me.
Before 8 a.m. is an early time for a fired-up rally, but count me in tomorrow in Cloud. I'll be the one wearing the sticker that says, 'Proud to be everything the right wing hates.'
Seems like you've been running this campaign for years. It's so close you can probably smell it. I can't vote because I'm from Australia but we have had CHANGE and it is mighty good. But there is a lot of mess to clean up that's for sure. GOOD LUCK.
Thank-you for the add!! You can help us by spreading the word to all your friends to add Citizens for Global Solutions as well or by visiting our site, www. globalsolutions. org! We are grateful for your support.
