Russ Feingold's Progressive Patriots Fund is holding a poll to pick the next Progressive Patriots. One of these candidates will get a $5,000 contribution. Voting closes at 5pm today (central).
Mark Udall, running for Senate in Colorado, is the obvious choice:
- As a member of the House, he voted against the Iraq war and against the Patriot Act, making him a great fit for the Russ Feingold "Progressive Patriot" name.
- He and his brother are key to bringing conservation and stewardship of the environment to the Senate, and come from a long family background of conservation (read that article, it's worth it).
- He's ahead in the polls but within margin of error. With Colorado's Democratic resurgence, his chances are good, but he can use the help!
