Feingold Asks You to Help an Iowa Candidate
by Sam Garchik
I found out about this from a Leonard Boswell email, strangely enough. I guess he is working with Feingold on this one, and any of these candidates would do well to receive your money and vote. As you all know, the Iowa Senate is tied right now, and any gain would give us the majority. Depending on how the governor's race turns out, the Senate may wind up being crucial to progressives, particularly in the areas of choice and the death penalty.
Boswell Bulletin
With
your help Senator Russ Feingold's Progressive Patriots Fund will be
awarding $5,000 to a deserving Iowa State Senate candidate. Go to Russ's website and cast your vote
for one of six candidates running for the Iowa State Senate whom you
believe most deserves the support of the Progressive Patriots Fund.
I had the opportunity to meet with Senator Feingold recently while he was here in Iowa listening to Democrats and helping congressional candidates across the state. Russ has been very supportive of my re-election campaign and I'm proud that he was a special guest at the pancake breakfast I held in Johnston last month.
Since Russ formed the Progressive Patriots Fund, he has been supporting outstanding Democratic candidates across the country. Russ now brings his help directly to Iowa with his first ever "Pick a Progressive Patriot - Iowa" event. Russ is dedicated to helping elect more Democrats nationwide and I am pleased to have the opportunity to announce the latest part of his effort.
Senator Feingold's Progressive Patriots Fund will give $5,000 to the Iowa State Senate candidate with the most votes on his website by midnight on May 31, 2006. The "Pick a Progressive Patriot – Iowa" event is part of Senator Feingold's 50-state effort to help elect more Democrats.
As you know, the Iowa State Senate is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. The election in November is critical to our goal of returning control to our Democratic leaders. We have six great state senate Democratic challengers and I want you to join Senator Feingold and me as we work together to make sure these candidates have the support and resources they need to be successful in November.
Senator Feingold has spent his career standing up for what he believes and listening to people in Wisconsin and across the country. This is your chance to stand up and let your voices be heard and help a deserving Iowan receive a $5,000 contribution.
Please log on to Senator Feingold's website, www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/vote and vote in Pick a Progressive Patriot - Iowa.
Sincerely,
Leonard
Member of Congress
