I just sent a letter to Russ Feingold along with a campaign contribution. What do you think?

I think we should all be pushing our representatives to help us in our fight for Bernie. If you want to do the same, feel free to take my letter, make the necessary changes, and send it off to your representative. It's quick and easy. Lets get some of our representatives feeling the Bern!

Russ, thank you for running! I knocked doors in Appleton during your last campaign. I just donated to your campaign this time even though money is so tight I probably should not have. Russ, I just wanted to let you know that I am behind you. I am also 100% committed to getting Bernie Sanders elected. There is no greater mission for me right now.

I heard a rumor that you felt that Bernie might not be able to win a national election. We, together, need to make sure that Bernie does win the Democratic primary and then crushes it in the general. The main reason I'm writing you is to ask your support for my candidate, Senator Bernie Sanders. I realize the vote is a personal matter. If you are unable to bring yourself to support Bernie at this time, I implore you to please withhold any endorsement for his competition until the primaries play out.

I am your constituent, and I will go to the mat for you. I need to ask that you go to the mat for me and for all of your constituents by helping to elect Bernie Sanders the next President of the United States of America.

I have reached the point where I don't care what anyone else - politician, candidate, celebrity, member of my family, TV talking head, etc. - says about Bernie's "electability". My full support goes to Bernie, and I will not change that out of some disgusting attempt to instill fear.
