SAINT PAUL [06/17/08] - Al Franken, DFL candidate for U.S. Senate, today reacted to Norm Coleman’s stunning admission that even knowing what he knows today, he would have supported the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
SAINT PAUL [06/16/08] - The Al Franken for U.S. Senate campaign today released a new television ad calling for an end to the war in Iraq and arguing for renewed investment in American education, health care, jobs, and infrastructure. The ad, “Invest Here,” will run in Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Duluth, Rochester, and Mankato - on broadcast and cable - beginning tomorrow.

SAINT PAUL [6/11/08] - Andy Barr, Communications Director:
“Yesterday, Norm Coleman voted to protect special tax breaks for hedge fund managers and multi-national corporations - instead of investing in renewable energy, student aid, and middle-class tax cuts for Minnesota. Today, he’s using the campaign checks his corporate backers wrote him to run ads claiming he’s working for Minnesota. It’s business-as-usual for the Special Interest Senator.”
SAINT PAUL [6/10/08] - With Minnesota consumers paying $4 a gallon at the pump, why would a Minnesota Senator vote against tax incentives for investment in renewable energy?
With Minnesota businesses poised to reap the benefits of new “green” technologies, why would a Minnesota Senator vote against extending the research and development tax credit?
This morning, the DFL Feminist Caucus announced its endorsement of Al Franken for U.S. Senate.
