“For The Middle Class, For A Change” Tour Goes To Southern Minnesota
Posted in Uncategorized on October 27th, 2008
Al Franken and the “For The Middle Class, For A Change” Bus Tour headed to southern Minnesota on Saturday night for campaign rallies in Austin, Albert Lea and St. Peter. Vice President Walter Mondale joined Al for the inaugural bus ride to Austin, and they got a great reception from the crowd!
Check out the story from the Austin Daily Herald:
“Ten days; we can have a choice,” Franken said. “We can elect John McCain and give Sen. Norm Coleman another term, or, we can elect President Obama. We can send Norm Coleman packing, and we can give Minnesota families the change we need.”
Franken said his campaign will call 1.5 million homes and knock on 2.8 million doors during the election.
…
The Senate hopeful believes this election will be close, but that he has what is takes to beat Coleman.
“I’m going to be fighting for the people who need fighting for,” Franken said, explaining that he would work to stop giveaways to oil and pharmaceutical companies.
…
Melissa Lindberg, a volunteer with the Mower County DFL, said Franken’s stop was “wonderful.”
“I think it’s great,” she said. “He’s such a passionate man.”
State Sen. Dan Sparks was in attendance, and said he believes Franken has run a “very positive campaign.”
“It was wonderful to see such a good turnout,” he said after the rally.
