On the campaign trail, Al Franken fought for the middle class, focusing on issues like making college and health care more affordable. During the recount, he fought for a fair Democratic process. And as a U.S. Senator, he fights every day for real progressive values just as the former Sen. Paul Wellstone did.

That fighting spirit is exactly why we chose Minnesota Sen. Al Franken to close out our fifth annual Netroots Nation convention in Las Vegas. Click here to register now.

The tradition continues with our Spring On-line Auction, the proceeds of which support the important work we do, including our annual Convention and our regional Salon Series.

Well, you ask, how can I help?
