Feingold: We hear you loud and clear (DSCC e-mail)
Dear,

Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing. From Wisconsin to Texas, from California to Alabama, I hear from people who want the Democrats to stand up and speak out.

We hear you loud and clear.

Even though Republicans have total control of the levers of power in Washington, we've had victories preventing some of the worst of this administration's agenda. When they wanted to privatize Social Security, every single Democrat in the Senate stood firm in opposition and we won.

Remember, despite more than 10 attempts to allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Democrats lead the efforts to defeat this short-sighted proposal every single time.

Still, it's not nearly enough.

To achieve the vision for America we all share, we simply must take back the Senate in November. I am more confident than ever that we will do just that. The American people know how badly this administration has mismanaged our country. The latest polls that show our Senate candidates can win prove it.

Make no mistake. It won't be easy. Republican incumbents hold significant fundraising advantages over our Democratic challengers. You are already doing your part to help the DSCC make up the difference, and for that I thank you.

But now, with less than 6 months before Election Day, you can do even more to help elect Democratic Senators who will stand up and speak out by making a contribution today. If you are frustrated with business as usual in Washington, then we need your help again to make a change.

Democrats have always believed in common sense solutions for our nation's most pressing concerns. Our vision for America is simple:



If you want to elect Democratic Senators who will stand up and speak out for these fundamental Democratic values, the DSCC needs your help once again.

The DSCC's job is to level the playing field. Poll after poll shows that our candidates can win in all the key states. But every one of our Democratic challengers trails their Republican opponent in campaign fundraising. You and I both know our opponents will use those extra resources to distract from their record of failed leadership and to attack our candidates.

You have been there for the DSCC before, but the only way we can compete is if we can count on your support one more time. There are less than six months before Election Day. Time is short.

I remember how it felt in the aftermath of the election in 2004. I was lucky that night and won a hard-fought campaign for re-election. But after working so hard to elect John Kerry and John Edwards so we could change the direction of this country, we all took a heck of a blow.

I never want to feel that way again.

That's why I'm so committed to winning in 2006. That's why it's so important for each of us to do our part. The American people know our country has been mismanaged, they are ready to stand up, speak out, and make a change. When we take back the Senate in November, we can make a change in Washington that will last for ten, fifteen, or twenty years.

That's the kind of difference you can make. You can help us achieve the vision for America we all share. We have less than six months to succeed. Please, don't wait another minute.

Sincerely,
Russ Feingold

Face it. Our Democrats in the Senate are Republican lite. Let's start with throwing out Joe L.
