Dear Al Franken.....

Please join us here on Democratic Underground. We need your insight and guidance.

Pick a well disguised name/handle - you don't need to use your real name here on DU.

You were there on the inside. You have a different perspective of what is going on in D.C. and what the players there are doing.

We can use your wisdom here.

Help us turn a Big Blue Wave into a Blue Tsunami in Nov 2018 and 2020.

We must defeat Trump and the Repugs - and you can help us do that.

I’m not sure what this would do for him or us.

I could not bear seeing the small minority of ugly comments he is likely to encounter. Just as Kristin Gillibrand cannot (or WILL NOT) distinguish gradients in sexual misbehavior, settings, or circumstances, so too are some here equally rigid in their thinking. I don't want to see Franken further attacked (and I put my own feminist "cred" up there with anyone elses)

He would pick - as I said - a well disguised name/handle here and he can post anonymously. What we can use from him is his guidance, insight and wisdom to deal with Trump and the Repugs
