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, ...

The right side of the line on protecting crucial benefits A concerted, corporate-backed campaign to slash crucial benefits is plowing ahead, but nearly 20 representatives have signed on to a letter that could make the difference. Co-written by Representatives Alan Grayson (FL) and Mark Takano (CA), the letter's signers pledge to reject any deal that cuts benefits people receive from Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. When it comes to securing the benefits hardworking Americans have earned, we've always drawn a clear line. We know it's fundamentally unfair to balance our nation's deficit on the backs of average working families and the most vulnerable citizens while lobbyists make sure corporate defense contractors escape paying their fair share. We need to ensure that members of Congress are on the right side of that same clear line. Several representatives have already taken the courageous -- and necessary -- step of pledging to reject senseless cuts to hard-earned and critically needed benefits. Our representatives needs to hear from u |
Here's Our Advocacy at Work After more than 33,000 members of Progressives United joined together to shine a bright light on the failures of the Federal Elections Commission, we joined our fellow activists in Washington, D.C. to hand-deliver our feedback. Here at Progressives United, we take activism seriously. In all of our actions, our power comes from our members, and there are plenty of ways we can work together to keep our country and our democracy in the hands of the people. A big thanks to all of those who took action to highlight the FEC's failures -- and thanks in advance for all the activism to come. Watch our video here, and leave a comment below telling us how you think Progressives United should continue our work to take on corporate special interests: |
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 |
This Is What Selling Access Looks Like By now, you've probably heard about Organizing for Action, the newest incarnation of the Obama campaign operation. Now we hear news that the entity, organized as a 501(c)(4) non-profit, will fund itself from top down. According to The New York Times: In private meetings and phone calls, Mr. Obama’s aides have made clear that the new organization will rely heavily on a small number of deep-pocketed donors, not unlike the "super PACs" whose influence on political campaigns Mr. Obama once deplored. At least half of the group's budget will come from a select group of donors who will each contribute or raise $500,000 or more, according to donors and strategists involved in the effort. Some say there's no such thing as a free lunch; according to reporting done by the Times, apparently there's no such thing as a free $500,000 contribution either: Giving or raising $500,000 or more puts donors on a national advisory board for Mr. Obama's group and the privilege of attending quarterly |
