Speaking of Al Franken

Last edited Thu Apr 25, 2019, 06:27 PM - Edit history (2)

I just got an e-mail from Al about a project he is Working on--filling a school library on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota.

Even if you are not in a position to donate take a look at the project. https://alfranken.com/read/books-for-bug-o-nay-ge-shig-school-in-leech-lake-mn

I'm currently getting flak on another thread because he isn't on the late night talk shows.

I miss his voice in the Senate greatly, but, he has been looking for something in which he would find fulfillment. I hope he finds it, wherever he ends up. If this is where it is, it's our loss, but his decision.

No investigation needed.

Just blame him and get rid of him.
