Al Franken has been a huge influence in helping create a more even playing field in get our democratic values out there - from his work helping create Air America to his intelligence and wit as a Senator in helping MN.

Here's the thing, this may backfire on the Breitbarts of the world. If Senator Franken so wishes to combat the right wing disinformation machine established - he more than anyone knows how to take them on in the media. They are expecting Senator Franken to go quietly in the night and not fight for issues that he considers important. I'm hoping that they are wrong. He has a gift for cutting through the nonsense and helping people see what is important.
