Franken's First Act: Co-Sponsoring The Employee Free Choice Act

By GottaLaff

Senator Franken deserved that (nearly) three minutes of applause. Go Al!

At an AFL-CIO reception moments ago, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) got the crowd all worked up--not by lampooning politics, but by participating in them. "I just became a cosponsor of my first bill in the Senate, the Employee Free Choice Act."

EFCA, yes. We need someone like Al Franken, and he arrived not a moment too soon. Oh, and being sworn in with a Paul Wellstone bible was a beautiful touch.
