Well that is if you consider Wiscesota to be in the Twin Cities metro area as I do. Prescott Wisconsin is directly across the Mississippi from Hastings Minnesota and is about 30 Minutes from Downtown St. Paul and 45 from Minneapolis.
Russ has done terrific work in this area supporting local candidates. Being in the Twin Cities media market local candidates often have a difficult time with media purchases and news exposure. Despite the challenge this is an area that is part of the target plan to gain at least 3 seats in the Wisconsin assembly so that Wisconsin can enjoy the benefits of having a democratic Assembly, Senate, and Governor. In 2006 Russ came to the area to help other candidates fundraise and gain local attention. The Progressive Patriots fund helps by sending field organizers to areas across the nation that have potential but need experienced organizers.
I can not say enough about the help Russ has done for the area, the Country, and the Constitution.
The venue is a new building overlooking the Mississippi river just below the Junction with the Saint Croix. Senator Feingold is one of the best public speakers I have had the privilege listening to, so I thought I would extend this invitation to other Kossaks that may not have yet had the opportunity.
