Franken’s First Bill: Service Dogs For Vets

Follow Dusty Trice on Twitter: twitter.com Senator Al Franken talks about his first bill in the Senate, which funded a pilot program to get service dogs to wounded veterans. — Last week, Sen. Al Franken was accosted by Tea Party activists at the Minnesota State Fair. He turned an ambush into a productive discussion, and I turned that conversation into a youtube video. YOU turned that video into an online sensation. More than half a million people tuned in to watch a United States Senator debate calmly, rationally, with his constituents – whether or not they agreed with him. There was no name-calling, no wrist-slitting, no Obama-with-a-Hitler-mustache posters. Ana Marie Cox called it terrible tv, but great democracy. And the even greater news is that you cared. THERE IS AN AUDIENCE FOR SANE NON-VIOLENCE. Even outside of Minnesota. — Read more at DUSTYTRICE.COM Follow me on Twitter: @DustyTrice
Video Rating: 4 / 5

To think, most of these people were at Franken’s throat minutes earlier!

@jblcva
Then why are the conservatives the ones screaming about Hitler Obama and wearing tea bags on their heads?

Cons do seem very much in touch with their emotions.

Fear, Hate and Greed.

Terrific live action from Senator Al
Franken who is not owned by anyone.
How the hell did Norm Coleman EVER
get that close?

@whatnowgop Agreed! I think they no longer have any value in a healthy Amerca. They say “healthcare is 17% of the American economy” when it should be considerably less. But it is one of the few industries left here in America and what good is it to them if they can’t make a profit off of the sick and those who fear getting sick?

@kotoole7 I think you meant ‘death nell’ oh IQ of an amoeba (spelled right). Admit it- you and the rest of the Right have no evidence whatsoever that these bills are harmful overall. You believe in profitting off those who served and minimized them when they return. Grade F for foolish whizkid!

It is hard to tell that Franken is a U. S. Senator when he talks to people like he is your neighbor.

Brilliant man. Decent human being. Good neighbor…..

Republicans kiss the asses of Health Insurance Companies and Corporations. To me that would leave a worse taste in your mouth.

Make no mistake this isn’t about fixing
anything. This is about Power& Control.
Plan of action for US. Spend spend spend
under the guise of recovery. Bust the Govt.
Blame the capitalists for the failure. Junk
the constitution and declare a dictatorship.

Kissing Dogs and Babies.. I got to give it to him, he’s got balls.. but the IQ of a field mouse. Any of the current 5 bills proposed by the left will be a death nail to our Nation, and cap and trade will be the final nail.. We simply need to pull our head out before it’s way too late.. Please!

How did they do that, exactly? Did they do what Reagan did in 1980 and make a deal with Iranian terrorists to hold the hostages until after the election? Did they make sure that uncheckable Diebold machines were in Democratic precincts? Did they disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of minority voters?

Oh, no, wait, those were all Republican evils.

ACORN federal funding for 20 years equals what KBR got in ONE DAY in Iraq. Go examine the beam in your own eye, right-winger.

Actually, “reasonableness” is a word.

As a Dog owner and a Soldier I can say this is just another exmple of why Mr. Franken is my favorite statesman in the Federal Government. Not politician…Statesman. One of the few.

To 666bria….I assume you are trolling here…but in the of chance you are not:, I have one thing to say to you: ROTFLMAO!!! HAHAHAHA!

The sad thing is, the irony of your post is probably lost on you. There is a reason the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to be liberal…….and visa versa.

Al Franken is more of a patriot than 95% of the GOP jackasses than are currently infesting the government now.

Yeah, damn that socialist Franken, wanting to help wounded vets — who does he think he is? Oh, right, he’s a U.S. Senator! Go Al!

Your use of ALL CAPS certainly establishes your expertise, credibility and reasonableness.

yeah this video isnt labled that but the other one is labled that from the same event and on this he is saying tea party activists accosted the sen. Franken, yet Im not seeing any of that on any of his EDITED posts. youd think if he were trying to convince people of an angry mob hed at least have EDITED some of that in here which he does not because he is LYING. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME LESSONS ON PROPAGANDIST EDITING FROM MSNBC YOU CLOWN.
