Patti's Comments: Al Frankin makes me laugh, and often I like his politics, but these comments on the ADA and special education I have to disagree with. I urge you all to read this article and respond to our friend...

"Al Franken says on his campaign website:
"When I get to Washington, someone is going to have to explain to me why we have unfunded mandates. It’s unconscionable that the federal government fails to live up to its commitments. Right now, the federal government only pays for 19% of special education costs – after promising to cover 40%. When I get to the Senate, I’ll fight to end unfunded mandates."
We say: Al, don’t wait until you get to Washington! Please have your aides do a thorough study now of Supreme Court cases over the last 50 years.
And, finally, to Minnesota voters we say: Please write, call, or stop by to ask Al Franken why he wants to repeal the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, signed into law by Bush 41."
