Coleman’s never-ending legal recount saga meant that US Senator Al Franken was not officially sworn in until July 2009. Eight months ticked away as Coleman’s blown engine of a legal battle stalled the seating our second US Senator.
Coleman’s opponent is the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which reversed a century of law and granted business corporations First Amendment rights. Because of this, special interests are on the fast track to spending without limit in upcoming elections.
What’s worse: stalling Al Franken’s seating or fast tracking special interests? Vote now!
