Why does Al Franken have to be the sacrificial lamb for all the present and past sins of a collective body of corrupt politicians?  I flew from California in 2008 to work for him.  I left my 10 yr old son with a neighbor so I could start my new career in politics, just obtaining a Masters in Political Science.  He was sort of an outsider but a well known public figure at the time.  One woman volunteer in the Bemidji, Minnesota office said she would not canvass door to door for Franken because of his former lewd jokes about women.  Perhaps he was a divisive character to some, but he was fully embraced by Minnesota over time.  He worked on the issues people cared about such as health care, diabetes prevention, senior rights and homelessness.  A person's past cannot be changed.  He was sorry for what he did.  I don't think he should have resigned.  We will discuss this from the heart of the matter.

We also discuss distortions in public policy support.  The people of Tangier Island have lost 50% of their land to global warming but won't admit it and support Trump.  None of the Trump soosayers will admit his sexual allegations.  We discuss initiatives surrounding climate change including tracking gas mileage.

We also discuss the suicide rate of transgender, sexual resassignment, race, employed vs. unemployed, age group, etc. defining & exploring who is at risk..
