Dont Lose Heart Minnesota!
Today is sad, and you have every right to feel hurt and disappointment no matter where you fall in the current debate. But you as a state wide populous picked a good one before. You can do it again. It may not be Franken, but you can still hold the seat for us in the name of decency and democracy.
If you feel let down by leadership of our party in this move that is your right - but don’t back out and give R’s another senator, please. Don’t despair. Use your voices and your votes to again send an ally of all of us to Washington.
