Minnesota population highly educated, top of the list of education quality. Senator Franken top-notch! Excellent legislation women's right to seek justice in court for contractor rape. (30 repubs voted no.)Great questioning skills in congressional hearings. He was instrumental in providing head protection equipment when soldiers sent to Iraq with inadequate head gear. He has great heart, and I don't need to write to tell him how to vote, because he knows what is right to do for the people. He's not bought by corps, banksters.

He's a phony in a stolen election in a backward state of entreched donkey's. The credentials necessary to become a powerful leader in America have reached new lows in 2009. A sad testimony to what was once a proud nation that had confidence in it's leaders. 2009-11-22T05:20:24Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-11-22:/comment/171054 foundingson these people steal elections (DNC)acorn and they act like they are protecting civil liberties of the people.

I wish the elections were coming sooner so we don't have to listen to all the rhetoric from these losers. I'm from Minnesota and and I can't find anyone who says they voted for either idiot. Funny how that is. And there are no more cars with bumper stickers with yo mamas name on it. 2010-09-01T23:31:03Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-01:/comment/210141 AnnaSchaefer The College Debt Swap Act needs to get passed. These students are drowning in debt. With the College Debt Swap Act, we would get the same benefits as the Federal Student Loans have. We are not asking for a bailout. We want to repay our loans, but need a better structure in repayment that is allowed for the federal loans. This will allow these people to regain their buying power. We want to buy a home, raise a family and start new businesses, but with large debt due to the unforgiving interest rates and other fees these private lenders are allowed to saddle us with, we will never have our buying power. So how will the economy ever be strong with the majority of young, educated people at the mercy of these lenders? Please hear our pleas. 2010-07-20T14:35:46Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-07-20:/comment/206585 lko2181 The party in power (i.e. US) has apparently sponsored legislation with which this Senator agrees. Just because you appear NOT to agree with that legislation does not mean Sen.Franken should vote against his, and his constituants' views on the subject(s) in the legislation. Thinker? Yes, he just happens to not think the way you apparently do. Get over it. 2010-03-01T17:51:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-01:/comment/187378 LucasFoxx It's working out just fine.
