The voters in Minnesota have spoken and they chose Al Franken to be their Senator. Now the National Republican Senatorial Committee led by our embarrassing Junior Senator, John Cornyn, are dragging this through court challenge after court challenge to delay the people of Minnesota's right to representation.
Americans United for Change was joined by Alliance for a Better Minnesota and the MN AFL-CIO today to unveil a new television ad urging Governor Tim Pawlenty to do his legal duty and certify the U.S. Senate election results should Al Franken be declared the winner by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
The ad called "The Choice" spotlights the national Republican Party's dogged efforts to stand in the way of Minnesota's urgently needed and rightful representation in the U.S. Senate and asks Governor Pawlenty if he will act in the best interests of the people of Minnesota - or his own national political ambitions.
While the group is asking for Minnesota voters to call in, we are have the unique distinction of having the obstructionist senator from Texas delaying Al Franken's entry into the Senate. This is just another example of the party of "no" denying the people their right to representation in Washington. Where are the teabags now?
