The
Bernie Sanders For Senate 2006 reports:
Rep. Bernie Sanders, Independent candidate for VT-Sen, and Air America host and author Al Franken are teaming up April 29 in Burlington, VT for A Night of Laughs, and you could be in the front row!
Bernie and Al will headline a night of comedy and progressive politics at the Flynn Theatre in beautiful Burlington on Saturday, April 29. And the Sanders for Senate campaign is giving away an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the show from anywhere in the lower 48.
The trip includes airfare, hotel and meal allowance, a chance to meet Bernie and Al and get an autographed picture with them and front-row seats for the show. The winner will be notified on April 24.
All you need to do to enter is send us your name and e-mail address and, if you'd like, the names and e-mail addresses of friends who you think might want to help Bernie build a national progressive movement. For each e-mail address you send, you'll have a separate entry in the contest.
(And don't worry, we're not going to spam your friends. We'll send them a polite note asking them if they want to be part of Bernie's team. If they say no, we'll never bother them again. We promise.)
Bernie Sanders is an independent
socialist.
Al Franken describes himself as a moderate:
Q: Do you see Air America as looking to attract more mainstream Democrats, or moving more toward the left? Obviously, further to the left, you’ve got many people working in community radio.
Franken: Yeah, I’m not that leftwing, which is the odd thing about this: My views on most things would jibe with most Americans’. On most issues, most Americans are certainly left of this Administration. Not necessarily left, but more common-sensical. Given a chance, they’d spend less on the military, they wouldn’t make more nuclear weapons, they would want to increase environmental regulation rather than reduce it, they would want to spend more on education and health care, they would enforce corporate-responsibility laws and make corporations pay their taxes, all those kinds of things. Crazy talk. [Laughs.]
It appears that Al Franken thinks Bernie Sanders is a moderate?
