results, and he should do so immediately.

"Senator Franken's victory should finally put to rest GOP
threats to filibuster President Obama's agenda. With any luck,
Senate Republicans will take this opportunity to stop obstructing the important
work that needs to get done for the country and actually start helping to get
it done."
