Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.)

Democrats, time to put up or shut up. We don’t expect you to pull all 60 members of your caucus into voting for a public option, but we DO EXPECT you to be able to brush aside any filibuster designed to keep it from a vote.

Congratulation Senator Al Franken of Minnesota. Our country needs your strong voice on health care reform.
