Listen to Sen. Candidate Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer today.
There is a much better person to run against Sen Norm Coleman than Franken. (Franken isn't bad, just that Jack is much better)


Listen to Jack on MPR and watch him on Kare 11!
Jack is still attracting media attention with his message of hope and progressive change. Yesterday, Kare 11 sent a reporter and camera crew out to see the energy for themselves. While the crew was here, multiple delegates pledged full support to Jack for the first time and the office was a beehive of activity. Watch the video for yourself!

Copy and paste web site below:

Make sure to tune in today, Wednesday, for Jack's appearance on MPR's Midday with Gary Eichten. This solo appearance will send a clear message that Jack is the contender to take on Norm Coleman in November and win.

1. letter sent to Pioneer Press
Dear Editor: One of the recent Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer mailings started showing up on my voice messaging right away: "Isn't that your back on Jack's mailing?" I went and looked more closely, and sure enough, it was. Pallmeyer, face to the camera, is hugging me, with his hand on my back, on the back of my Veterans for Peace tee shirt. Jack's got my back. I was drafted and served as an army medic during Vietnam, a war that many of us believed at the time was wrong or hadgone wrong. I can't adequately explain the rage I felt a few years back when Robert McNamera, Vietnam era Secretary of Defense,came out publicly and said something like, "Well, gee, well uh, yeah, we knew we shouldn't be there at the time, but well,gee, uh, I'm sorry." Watching what's happening in Iraq, and here at home because of it, in this context is virtually unbearable. Anyone who's been in the military deeply knows the meaning of, "I've got your back." Jack Nelson -Pallmeyer wasspeaking out about how wrong this invasion of Iraq and its impact on our economy would be for us and the world long before it actually happened, and I can't bear the thought of someone from the Bush administration 30 years from now saying, "Well, gee, well uh, . . ."
I'm supporting Pallmeyer to win against Norm Coleman because Coleman's support of Bush policies is nothing buttalking dangerously behind our backs. Jack's got my back. Jack's got your back -- even if you disagree in the moment on the details. Larry Johnson

3. Franken declined to appear with Nelson-Pallmeyer
According to MPR, "Democrat Al Franken was also invited but declined to attend."

What's Al afraid of? You'd think he might want to change the subject and discuss real issues instead of Playboy magazine.

4. In fairness to Franken,
he isn't the one who brought up the Playboy article. And, I see the Republicans are now bringing up a rape joke Franken made in 1995(it was on WCCO's homepage). Methinks it may be time to start discussing Normie's Senator Grab-Ass nick name.

That said, I do wonder why he wouldn't appear with JNP.

8. JNP is far superior to Al in debate and Q&A sessions, that's why.
"That said, I do wonder why he wouldn't appear with JNP."

9. This is true
I meant the comment to be a bit snide.

5. I listened to him for an hour on AM 950 yesterday.
Seemed like a decent guy with a lot of answers. Also sounds like he's been on a college campus for a very long time. I will support whomever, no doubt Senator Zipper Problem will dig dirt on just about anybody. I will support whichever candidate wins and hopefully one will help out the other.

6. He does sound like he has attended college
and does not talk down to people. I find that refreshing.

7. yes.. In my experience academics always are accused
of sitting in their ivory towers and being too idealistic. Jack sounded like a decent,well grounded person who I would suppport. Im just saying that intelligence can be used as a weapon by the other side (the non-thinking side).
