"As of about half an hour ago, I became the co-sponsor of my first piece of legislation in the Senate. And it's something called the Employee Free Choice Act."

That's what Al Franken said just hours after being sworn in as a U.S. Senator from Minnesota! To thank him for his support, we're putting together a huge welcome card.

Senator Franken has already taken a strong stand for workers. But he's up against some serious opposition, so he needs our support and encouragement. As our economy continues to slide, an army of Big Business lobbyists continues to fight relentlessly against workers having a fair shake. Take a moment to welcome Senator Franken — thank him for being a leader on this issue and remind him how important it is that he keep fighting.
