Tweets from the JJ Dinner

I didn't go to the JJ Dinner this year (I went in 2005-2008, attempted to go in 2009 but had major transportation problems) but here are some tweets by people who were there. Rich Anthony: *"Sen. Amy Klobuchar rocks. The people of MN should be very proud." Vivian Paige: *"Sen Amy Klobuchar has taken the stage. V.
