Senator Al Franken explains the Jamie Lee Jones case,and the amendment he's bringing forward.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

1. Moral Relativism:

1) Moron in ridiculous pimp getup gets some low-level ACORN employees to advise on illegal activities (after several unreported previous attempts failed)

2) Multi-billion $ defense contractor- of which the previous administration's VP was a board member- has a recurrent problem with female employees being drugged and gang raped, and conveniently has a clause in their employment contract which prevents the victims from taking legal action.

Which one of these sounds like a major scandal? Anyone from Fox "news" want to answer that?

[Enthusiast]

3. Why can't we hear about this

in the M$M? The M$M has been harping on about ACORN 24/7.

[Can of Whoop-ass]

14. KBR

Americans are more interested in David Letterman's adult sex life.

[ScottLand]

4. Thank you.

This proves that the pretended outrage against ACORN is political.

[PA Democrat]

5. I wonder how much money in federal contracts KBR continues to

receive despite this and many other cases of fraud and abuse. KBR also is responsible for the electrocution of US troops due to faulty wiring done by KBR.

9. Not to mention the rotten fruit and shower water that smells like sewage covered with clorox bleach.

I've seen it myself while I was deployed in Iraq.

11. Full Circle:

Just to wrap things into a nice little package, here is a clip of Billo the Clown and Laura Ingraham suggesting that Al Franken got elected through ACORN-enabled election fraud: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x381524

17. O'Reilly wants to investigate ACORN in Franken's winning the Senate seat. What took Billo so long?

[Seldona]

19. More like immoral relativism to me.

Arbitration should be used for contractual enforcement, not criminal actions, or the resulting civil suits.

I want to see republicans stand against legislation like this. It will indeed show their true colors when it comes to women's issues.

[whathehell]

2. Go Al!

By all that's Right and Good --This bill should pass.

Now, ;et's see how much media attention it gets-- given the bad light it shines on the Dick.

[mucifer]

6. go get em Al! I bet this clip and issue won't go viral. I hope it does.

But, my guess is the media doesn't care about women contractors.

[GivePeaceAchance]

7. It's still incredible to see him up there, we made that happen, shows activisim can work.

[mucifer]

8. This needs to be on huffingtonpost. They have lots of crap on their site

and this isn't there. Pisses me off! It needs to go viral.

[Uncle Joe]

10. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, democracy1st.

[Grassy Knoll]

12. Thanks d1st, Im glad Franken got in...

To stand for us.

[rollingrock]

13. Darth Cheney's company

he was the CEO of Halliburton/KBR right up to 2000 when he became Bush's VP.

the corruption in this country is beyond belief.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Too bad his amendment is narrow.

I want Congress to render ALL mandatory arbitration in employment-and-consumer contracts null-and-void.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

18. I love Al, he's much more than I hoped for

lucky Minnesota! And us.

[BREMPRO]

29. he's proving his worth every day- like a seasoned Senate veteran

He gave an idea to Rockefeller for an amendment to require insurance companies to spend 90% of our premiums on health care- brilliant strategy! if the blue-dogs vote against it they can't deny they are looking out for the insurance co's rather than the American people. A clever trap- thanks to AL. he also took on a crowd of teabaggers and talked them down to earth. Every day he comes to work, he makes a mark. Thank you MN for voting him in!

[underpants]

20. The only arguement against this is money-the chance at big bucks after office

Great job SENATOR AL FRANKEN

[Patchuli]

21. Thank you Senator Al!!!

I knew you would champion downtrampled Americans! End the tyranny of greed and corporatism!!

[the blues]

22. Keep fighting the good fight, Al!

:yourock:

[mucifer]

23. this clip only has 500 youtube views on it. It needs to go viral.

25. So happy to be the 56th K&R!

[Diane R]

26. Al Franken is showing the other senators how it's done. He was worth waiting for.

[asdjrocky]

27. Finally, a Senator we can count on 100% of the time.

Thanks Al!

[suede1]

28. Gotta love Al Frankin.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

30. This young woman

has been severely traumatized, and I wish her and her family the best possible outcome. I admire Al for bringing this to our attention and for recognizing the (Repub.) Congressman who has apparently assisted in some measure.

32. Academic question: where the hell is Kay Bailey Hutchison?

I'll tell you where: snugly in the pocket of KBR. One might imagine that this case would be properly handled in the Senate by the plaintiff's own senator, but I guess not. Even Ted Poe, who is a reactionary and then some was outraged by this case. Both senators from Texas are worthless.

Al Franken is a smart and decent human being.

33. Defund the bastards! BTW click on the YouTube link to help build up the view count

From my experience of uploading vids to YouTube the views of embedded videos don't count, for some strange reason.

Thanks for posting, deomcracy1st!

PS this should include all Government contractors who have broken any law: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x376918">Rep. Alan Grayson: The "Defund-ACORN" Law Should Apply To Corrupt Defense Contractors, Too!
