Petitioning Senator Al Franken
Endorse Bernie Sanders for President

Senator Franken,

In 2014, you ran for Senate as a Minnesota progressive. In 2016, support the progressive movement by endorsing Bernie Sanders in his bid to become president. Your endorsement would bolster his candidacy by showing he has support from his colleagues in the Senate. Further, such a large endorsement (from you) would establish him as the progressive candidate in the race and as a serious candidate to be reckoned with.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Wisconsin's largest paper blasts Clinton on transparency

The largest newspaper in Wisconsin sharply criticized Hillary Clinton in an editorial published Wednesday, unfavorably comparing the former secretary of state to Donald Trump in terms of her "firm commitment" to open and transparent government.

In its takedown of Trump, published Tuesday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel declared the Republican front-runner "unfit to be president" by any measure. On Wednesday, the paper's editorial board trained its sights on Clinton, blasting the Democratic front-runner for the ongoing FBI investigation into her use of a private server while at Foggy Bottom and her reasons for setting up the server in the first place.

"In addition, regardless of Clinton's excuses, the only believable reason for the private server in her basement was to keep her emails out of the public eye by willfully avoiding freedom of information laws," the editorial said. "No president, no secretary of state, no public official at any level is above the law. She chose to ignore it, and must face the consequences."

The editorial board referred to a ProPublica article published in March 2015 that highlighted five past privacy-related episodes for Clinton over the course of her political career, including tax returns, the Health Care Tax Force, and records from the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, among others.

"Public officials keep secrets because they have something to hide — something they don't want the people they are supposed to be serving to know anything about," the board wrote, then referring to Clinton's paid speeches to Wall Street investment firms.
