paul simon who i just mentioned, my predecessor from illinois. one of the smartest, most decent men i have ever met in any walk of life. and senator paul wellstone of minnesota, who has received many deserved tributes today. paul wellstone was a champion of farmers and hotel maids, grocery clerks, cafeteria workers and everyone who works hard and struggles for dignity and enough money to just pay the bills. paul wellstone, as we have heard both from senator klobuchar and from al franken himself, is the man whom al franken chose to emulate in public life. as he said, paul wellstone's famous quote, we all do better when we all do better. a simple statement, a profound truth, and it's been the guiding light for al franken's senate career. senator wellstone died 15 years ago in a tragic plane crash. on the tenth anniversary of that terrible loss, senator franken wrote an essay about paul wellstone's legacy for "the atlantic" magazine. i want to read a short section from that essay. senator franken wrote one of paul's most famous quotes is this -- poli

paul simon has a line from one of his songs that says, a man sees what he wants to see and he disregardst. and i guess we basically all do that to some extent, but it's good to try and look at the facts and not just let the facts be clouded by your own opinions. i forget who said it. everyone is entitled to their own opinion but no one is entitled to their own facts. as now, the fact is if we individuals and as a nation and the world, if we do not turn to love, we have to return to loving one another. if we do not do that, then we are not love. in order to be loved you must do love. in order to do love, you must be loved. love is the answer here. i've called in several times over the years. and i've written a book where i have been approached by god. god is love. and this book is free and it's online. .
