Lucas, Democrats must pick up five seats to take back the Senate from Mitch
McConnell and the Republicans—and we absolutely
need to take back the Senate if the next Democratic president is going to have
any shot at governing or confirming liberal nominees to the Supreme Court.
There is no path to the Senate majority without Wisconsin—and we
have just the guy to win: Former senator Russ Feingold.
Can you chip in $5 to send progressive champion Russ Feingold back to the Senate?
Feingold should need no introduction, but here’s a refresher on
his awesomeness:
- He stood with progressives against George Bush’s war in Iraq
- He was the only senator to vote against the PATRIOT Act in 2001
- He was one of just 14 senators to vote against the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act in the 90s
- He introduced and passed into law one of the greatest pieces of campaign finance reform in history—only to have the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority gut it
Feingold was swept out in the 2010 GOP wave by the odious Ron Johnson.
This is our chance to undo that horrible year and sweep out the tea party.
Please chip in to elect Russ Feingold.
Keep fighting,
