Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) discussed his beliefs and goals about health care reform at the Minnesota State Fair Wednesday with a group of constituents, and calmed down some who were upset, giving clear, honest answers to thought-out, sincere questions.  "I thank you for your passion," he says to a vocal member of the crowd, "we need that, and we need to have these conversations."  And then, remarkably, she calms down, and everyone discusses the matter in a reasonable and cool-headed manner.  "We all want reform, the question is how do we do it," Franken said.  A mixed bag of opponents and supporters gathered around as the senator explained his perspective, how he will vote, and how he believes the legislation will benefit the people of Minnesota and the nation.</p> <P></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/04/franken-calms-down-health_n_277687.html"><P>
