The Russ Feingold Progressive Patriots Fund Launches Website with this Press Release.
Feingold Calls on "Netroots" to Help Reform Patriot Act
Middleton, WI—- U.S. Senator Russ Feingold’s Progressive Patriots Fund launched a new website today, http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com, with a call for citizen co-sponsors of his efforts to protect our freedoms and reform the USA PATRIOT Act.
“We can fight terrorism and protect the freedoms that make us Americans,” Feingold said, “The Progressive Patriots Fund and our website is an effort to give a voice to that value.”
Feingold continues to lead the effort to protect privacy and personal freedoms, having cast the Senate’s lone vote against the PATRIOT Act—legislation which members of both parties now agree must be changed to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans.
Congress is currently considering the reauthorization of 16 key provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. Feingold has joined with a bipartisan coalition in co-sponsoring the SAFE Act to protect the freedoms of all Americans by fixing specific portions of the USA PATRIOT Act that go too far.
Feingold’s Progressive Patriots Fund is targeting citizen co-sponsor support from the netroots with its website launch by advertising on popular “blogs”
The Progressive Patriots Fund is dedicated to promoting a progressive reform agenda and supporting candidates across the country. The organization will enable Feingold to be a part of a larger national effort to build the Democratic Party throughout America as he travels across the country, listens to others, and speaks out on important issues.
Last November, Feingold won re-election to his third term, representing the Midwestern battleground state of Wisconsin, with an 11percentage point victory and the most votes for any candidate, for any office, in the state’s history.
