Originally a satirical writer for Saturday Night Live, Al Franken has been involved in politics since the 1990s. He has written books such as Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, and The Truth (with jokes)- all bestsellers poking fun at the conservative agenda- in addition to hosting a radio show on Air America and being the subject of a documentary released in 2006.
Franken is currently running for the United States Senate (D-Minnesota), and his progressive politics have made him a popular figure for Democrats. His platform rests on the following ideals: better funding for education, universal health care, fighting debt and rising gas prices, honoring and supporting veteran's affairs, and ending the war in Iraq.
Presently, Franken is deadlocked with his Republican opponent. Donate towards Al Franken's campaign today to help add a valuable seat to Congress.
