+++ Official DU "Thank You" Thread for Russ Feingold +++

[derby378]

You worked your ass off to stave off the capitulation of Democrats over FISA. Ultimately, you didn't succeed, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Senator, you are a true Democrat. Would that you were the 2008 Democratic nominee for President!

1. Senator, you can rest well at night knowing you gave it all you had. nt

[midnight]

2. Thank you for explaining to us and other senate members

who did not read this bill what was going on, and why you were trying to bring the immunity in this bill to an end.

[VP505]

3. Thank you Senator Feingold,

Dodd and Leahy, sorry your colleagues couldn't find it in themselves to stand up for the rule of law and Constitution. They preferred the sorry excuses being used to justify and support this disgusting legislation.

FEINGOLD HOLDS LISTENING SESSION IN
DOOR COUNTY ON JULY 12
July 3, 2008

U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will hold a listening session in Door County on Saturday, July 12. Senator Feingold has pledged to hold listening sessions in all of Wisconsin’s 72 counties each year of his six-year term; this is the Senator’s 16th year of holding listening sessions. This session will mark the 48th listening session of 2008, and the 1128th since 1993. If constituents need special accommodations at the listening session they should contact Senator Feingold’s Middleton office at 608-828-1200.

His Door County listening session will be held at 4:45 p.m. at the Washington Island Community Center, 910 Main Road, Washington Island. The meeting will last up to an hour.

“I again look forward to meeting with constituents in Door County,” Senator Feingold said. “These listening sessions are an excellent opportunity for me to hear directly from constituents about any issues or concerns they may have, and I appreciate the effort people make to attend these meetings and let their voices be heard. Their ideas and advice continue to enable me to serve the people of Wisconsin to the best of my ability.”

Feingold has been our (the PEOPLE's) TRUE Democratic Party leader in the Senate. He should get the title that matches his efforts!

He's got spine. I thank him and salute him too. Wish there were at least 66 others like him in the Senate now.
