Russ Feingold: "Investigate OSP"!!

[leftchick]

Holy Cow!! Russ Feingold is on C-span 2 and he is kicking ass!
He wants the aWol's "investgation" to include looking into what the Pentagon's Office Of Special Plans contibuted to intelligence that the WH made their decision to go to war on.

[NeonLX]

1. That's my Russ!

I'm happy to proclaim that he's "my" Senator.

[KC21304]

5. Mine too. What a treasure.

[NeonLX]

7. Have the repugs figured out who they're gonna run against him yet?

I've heard Russ Darrow's (mega car dealer) name thrown around a lot...

[eyesroll]

17. Yep, it's Russ Darrow, Bob Welch and somebody else

Nobody's polling very high, but expect Russ Darrow to run loads of car commercials in the weeks leading up to the election.

[sybylla]

19. Third guy is another bazillionaire, Tim Michels

Seems to me I heard he is a hwy contractor or something. I don't think Russ has anything to fear. The pukes think he is vulnerable on the Patriot Act vote but that's just plain stupid. This should be a great fight. They will be like putty in his hands.

[bobthedrummer]

11. Mine too!

eom

[progressiverealist]

18. me too

What a great reason to be proud of our state.

I like Feingold as much as Barry Alvarez and Bo Ryan :)

[Oilwellian]

Good

The OSP scandal needs to go mainstream.

[leftchick]

8. tweety was harping about OSP last night on Hardball...

going on and on about it and Chalabi. It was Sweet. I heard him again this AM on Imus repeating the same. OSP will be major news this week!!

[dtseiler]

2. On Wisconsin

w00t!

Now if only the recorded candidate phone calls would stop!

[not systems]

3. Go Russ!!!

I'm proud to support his reelection campaign today.

[Bozita]

4. If they investigate OSP, Dumbya is done

[Imalittleteapot]

6. Thank you Russ Reingold!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[A J]

9. As a huge fan of Russ....

This doesn't even surprise me. Does anybody in congress have a better record on the floor?

And I think the guy is pretty unbeatable this year; no used car jockey is going to bring him down!

[leftchick]

10. Welcome to DU A J!

:toast: I love Russ Too! I wish he was my Senator. I am stuck with Liddy Dole and probably another repuke once Edwards is out. :(

[chelaque liberal]

12. All of you Wisconsonites, my heart is still with you even though I moved

The only place I ever felt like I belonged. Viroqua, Gays Mills, Madison, what great places.

[chelaque liberal]

13. What else is he saying?

[leftchick]

14. He is done now....

I listened to most of his speech. He was saying he saw the intelligence and nothing there convinced him of an "imminent threat". He wants bush* and OSP investigated not the intelligence. He is so great to listen to. I will look to see if I can find the transcript and post it.

[calimary]

15. Time to CALL CONGRESS! 1 (800) 839 - 5276 TOLL FREE

TOLL FREE to Capitol Hill. I'm gonna call it as soon as I post this. You call and ask to be transfered to anybody's office in the House and/or Senate. They do it for you free.

Call Feingold and tell him you appreciate what he's just done. THEN, CALL YOUR OWN PEOPLE and tell them about how much you stand with Feingold for this reason. If they're republi-CON, they need to know anyway. If they're Democrats, they need the encouragement.

PLEASE DO IT.

[chelaque liberal]

16. And then sign the MoveOn petition to censure Bush

21. What about investigating Ashcroft?

Feingold was the deciding vote for Ashcroft's appointment. All kinds of petitions and groups apposed the appointment knowing this man was a crazy RWer.

When is Russ, while he is on a roll, going to ask for Ashcroft's resignation for abuse of power? When? Ask him?

[sybylla]

24. Never fails to amaze me.

Sen. Feingold made this vote three years ago on principle, believing that this president, as every president before him, should sink or swim with his own cabinet tied to his leg. And I continue to be amazed that there are a few dems still nursing a boner over it. If you think Asskkkrack isn't a liability for shrubbie, you're not paying attention.

[sybylla]

20. Great time to sign up for the Feingold Meetups

You can sign up for Feingold Meetups at his website http://www.russfeingold.org under "Get Involved." The first meetups are taking place on February 19th. Just like with the presidential candidate meetups, this is a great way to get involved in helping Russ win in 2004.

Best of all, the meetups are not just happening in Wisconsin but in major cities across the country. Check it out if you're interested in making sure one of our most progressive senators gets re-elected.

This shameless plug brought to you by caffeine. I just can't stop my fingers.

[Viking12]

23. Can you post

when a meet-up is scheduled for the Fox Valley (Appleton/Oshkosh). I am a new WI resident and long time Wellstone supporter ready to help Russ in his re-elction bid. I know I should register at feingold.org, but I already receive so much in my mailbox I don't want to add to the volume.

(and yes, I am a Vikings fan deep in the heart of packer territory).

[sybylla]

25. Welcome to Packerland

I've known plenty of Viking supporters over the years so you're most likely not alone either.

All Feingold meetups across the state are taking place on the 19th of this month at 7pm. I think everyone is still voting on a venue. There are four listed in the Oshkosh/Appleton area but no location has been chosen yet.

I know what you mean about all the e-mail. But I signed up to vote knowing this was a good cause. So far I haven't gotten anything else from the campaign.

[Cheesehead]

26. You are very brave to infiltrate enemy territory like that

Welcome to both DU and the Fox Valley. I hope to meet you when we get together to plan our support for Feingold. Wellstone supporters will find like-minded company here.

[Viking12]

27. Thanks for the welcome!

I just learned that Gov. Dean, General Clark, and Elizabeth (Mrs. John) Edwards) will be appearing at the UW Oshkosh campus this week.
Dean 10-12 Thursday in Reeve Union.
Clark 12-2 Thrusday Kolf Sports center.
Edwards 9:30-11 Saturday Reeve Union.

[Trajan]

22. Yeah ! ....

The OSP is EXACTLY what we need to talk about ...

What a bunch of dangerous liars they are ....

[mb7588a]

28. It was a f'n brilliant speech.

Transcript should be available any day now. The GPO is sooooo slow with the Congressional Record. :(
