With the national spotlight on Wisconsin this week, I want to ask my fellow Kossaks to consider supporting the re-election of Democratic Senator Russ Feingold to the U.S. Senate. While I know many here are aware of Feingold's record, I'll just highlight why I think it's so important to make sure he's re-elected:
- Russ was the ONLY U.S. Senator to vote against the Patriot Act, and he also voted against giving Bush the authority to declare war on Iraq.
- Russ was the other driving force behind the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform law that passed Congress and got Bush's grudging signature, getting the scourge of 'soft money' out of politics.
- Russ opposed NAFTA, GATT and Most Favored Nation status for China, holding that the agreements were unfair to U.S. workers.

Thanks in advance to those who pitch in!
