"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! Today, Senator Franken is heading to the U.S. Capitol for his first full day on the job — and to thank him for his support, we're putting together a huge welcome card. Will you add your name? Take a minute to sign our welcome card to Senator Al Franken! It's been a long road for Senator Franken. After a close vote, his opponent fought in court for months to stop him from being seated. Today, the people of Minnesota finally have their next Senator. Tell him that we're thrilled to have him here, standing up for America's workers. Senator Franken has already taken a strong stand for workers. Just hours after being sworn in yesterday, he signed on as a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act. But Senator Franken is 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. Sign the card! Together with Senate champions like Al Franken, we can restore the middle class and get our economy back on track.
