Russ Feingold should run against Obama (and Palin)
So much for 2010 as the year of mutiny, when the American people rose up and said, "Enough! Throw the bums out!" As the dust finally clears after the midterm elections, and the bodies are hauled from the field of battle, guess what? It was all so predictable. The safest thing to be in 2010 was an incumbent. Out of 435 seats, 351 incumbents will be returning to the House in January. In the Senate, out of 100 seats, 77 incumbents will return in January. As the libertarian Joel Hirschorn puts it, "Welcome back to the reality of America's delusional democracy where career ...
Feingold Statement on the Navy's Marinette Marine Decision
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Russ Feingold released the following statement regarding the decision by the United States Navy to request more ships from Wisconsin shipbuilder Marinette Marine. The Navy is proposing to purchase 10 Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) from the northeastern Wisconsin company, which would support jobs in northeastern Wisconsin and throughout the state. “I am pleased the Navy would like to purchase more ships from Marinette Marine. This is good news for northeastern Wisconsin and I was proud to support Marinette Marine in its bid to build these ...
Comment from Sen. Feingold creates buzz following elections
Madison (WQOW) - Much of the talk since Election Day has been about a comment from Senator RussFeingold Tuesday night,after being defeated by Ron Johnson. "I hope and I intend to work with you in the future as much as possible. So, it's onto the next fight, it's onto the next battle, it's onto 2012," expresses Sen. Feingold. That fueled speculation that Feingold would be back on the campaign trail soon, possibly to run against President Obama in the democratic primary. The state's democratic party chair says no way. A report in the Wisconsin State Journal quoted the chair saying, ...

Right-Wing Detroit Scam It's been happening for years in private industry: A steel company goes bankrupt, its workers lose their pensions, but yet someone still happens to purchase the company's assets and keeps making steel. Or a coal mining company splits into two entities, and one half takes responsibility for all pensions, and then that half deviously declares bankruptcy while the other increases its profits. The attack on the workers' earned benefits continues. But the declaration by the pro-corporate "emergency manager" appointed to run Detroit is the most brazen attempt yet to cheat hardworking American workers out of their pensions. If Michigan's pro-corporate governor and unelected manager succeed, pro-corporate officials in towns and cities throughout the country are much more likely to try something similar. All eyes are on Detroit. Hardworking Americans deserve a secure retirement, but what happens in Detroit could spell the end of pensions throughout the country. Sign Progressives United's petiti |
FEC: You're Doing A Terrible Job Not every law needs to be changed. Some just need to be enforced. And there's one dysfunctional agency at the center of all the clean elections laws that could be helping but isn't: the Federal Election Commission. For all the damage caused by the Supreme Court's lawless Citizens United decision and Congress's refusal to stop corrupting corporate money, the FEC has compounded the problem by failing to enforce the key election laws that still remain. The FEC has been a fatally flawed and feckless body from its inception in the wake of the Watergate scandal. FEC commissioners have routinely ignored obvious statutes and reversed commonsense anti-corruption measures. The FEC has flown almost entirely under the radar as it issued decision after decision that creates new ways of selling our government to the highest bidder. The commission is now asking for public comments on its effectiveness. And we have a simple one: "You're doing a terrible job." The FEC is an entirel |
Christopher Counters the Right-Wing Propaganda When the City of Detroit announced plans to file for bankruptcy, we started hearing a lot of right-wing propaganda about how worker pensions must be cut. The right-wing obsession with denying people their earned retirement benefits has been a decades-long attack on hard-working Americans. As one special interest group puts it, "Government unions have achieved lavish pay and retirement benefits for their members." But the reality of Detroit workers' earned benefits is much different. This is the story of Christopher, who dedicated his career to working for the people of Detroit. He's married, has two children, and retired in 2005. "My wife, Josephine, and I are retired now but we both worked very hard for many years in Detroit. I helped with the development and improvements of the city, and my wife worked in the Detroit Public School District for 32 years. "Our pensions are very important to us. They provide a source of income, as well as a sense of wellbeing. I don't really |
