Garage Door Russ Feingold Campaign Video
Today, Russ's campaign released a new statewide television ad, entitled ”Garage Door.” The ad highlights the garage door pledge Russ made to the people of Wisconsin in 1992. Russ put three promises on the garage door of his Middleton home, added two more promises, and has kept that pledge to the people of Wisconsin since they first elected him to be their voice in the U.S. Senate.
The ad highlights what Wisconsinites know, Russ has always worked for them. The Journal Sentinel reported that research proved Russ was the number 1 maverick in the Senate in seven of the nine sessions of Congress in which he has served.
Not only has Russ been a constant independent voice, he has been the right type of maverick.Washingtonian Magazine concluded in a recent survey that Russ was the number one enemy of lobbyists in the Senate and called Russ, “still the body’s chief anti-lobbying crusader.”
Wisconsin needs Russ now more than ever. Ron Johnson is backed by the Senate’s biggest friend to lobbyists, Mitch McConnell, while Russ was named the lobbyist’s enemy. The choice is clear for Wisconsin: a true independent voice, or a man with a shaky record who’s afraid to debate because he has no real positions or solutions.

Post from Erica Sagrans's Blog: Urgent: Vote on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Post from Erica Sagrans's Blog:
Urgent: Vote on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
| By Erica Sagrans - Sep 20, 2010 2:47:06 PM ET |
OFA Director Mitch Stewart just asked supporters to call Senator John McCain and ask him to stop standing in the way of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell":
There's going to be a showdown on the Senate floor this week -- and we'll have a chance to do away with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" once and for all.Right now, though, it's not clear we'll have the votes to win.That's because moments after Sen. Harry Reid announced the vote, Sen. John McCain again threatened to stop the bill at any cost. He said he plans to filibuster not just a vote, but even the procedure to bring it up for debate."Don't Ask, Don't Tell" isn't about politics -- it's about discrimination. And when Republicans defend discrimination of any kind, they need to know that their constituents are watching and ready to respond.It is up to each of us to let the Republicans who are blocking this vote know that Americans want repeal.Call Sen. McCain at (202) 224-2235 now, tell him America supports the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and ask him to stop standing in the way.As the President has said, we must end this law "because it is the right thing to do." A majority of Americans agree that those who are brave enough to stand up and serve our country deserve to do so openly.Call Sen. McCain today at (202) 224-2235 to tell him to end his filibuster threat and get out of the way of change.Thanks for your help on this critical vote,MitchMitch Stewart

Henry Sanders for Lt. Governor Of Wisconsin, Support Request
Dear Supporters,
As I travel the state, I’m continually inspired by the hard work and dedication of grassroots Democrats across Wisconsin
I’m honored to have earned the support of 30 more of these outstanding Democratic Party leaders today—bringing the total number of Party Leaders for Sanders to more than 100 statewide.
I have made a very real commitment to supporting the grassroots of our party. Our Progressive Farm Team program supported more than a dozen candidates for local offices this past spring. My campaign has invested resources to boost turnout at democratic events around the state. And I’ve personally headlined dozens of dinners, pot-lucks, picnics, and other events to help raise funds for our County Parties
A grassroots campaign isn’t a one-way street, and I will be right there on the frontlines with these party leaders as we work to elect progressive candidates to local offices, win legislative seats, and elect Tom Barrett and Russ Feingold this fall.
Below are the latest to add their names to Party Leaders for Sanders, with more endorsement announcements available on our website at www.henrysanders.org/news.

Post from Jeremiah Bird's Blog: Moving America Forward: One Door at a Time
| Also listed in: 2010 HQ Blog |
OFA Deputy Director Jeremy Bird wrote on Huffington Post about the success of our recent Moving America Forward Day of Action, where volunteers knocked on more than 200,000 doors throughout the country.
Now that Labor Day weekend has come and gone, political season is in full swing. With November 2nd less than two months away campaigns are buzzing with activity and polls and predictions are dominating cable news. Here at OFA, we've been hard at work since our June 5th VOTE 2010 kickoff contacting voters and getting ourselves ready for the fall push. Just a few weeks ago, we decided that we would use August 28th to test our organizational strength by holding "Moving America Forward" canvasses across the country.
Nationally, we set an ambitious goal by pledging to hit 200,000 doors in the dog days of August. OFA staff leadership across the country talked to their volunteers and set state-specific goals: South Dakota Indiana New York
OFA volunteers and staff have been working closely on the ground with campaigns, state parties, and other allies since we launched our VOTE 2010 campaign--we knew the effort would be a test for OFA volunteers who had already been canvassing throughout the summer and who would continue knocking on doors until Election Day as the core forces behind our get-out-the-vote (GOTV) operations. But our volunteers and staff made clear they were ready to test their ground game 10 weeks out from a critical election.
As it turns out, OFA volunteers were more than up to the challenge.
After tallying up the reports from across the country, our volunteers made some spot on predictions--nationwide, OFA supporters knocked on the doors of 200,893 targeted voters. Volunteers made another 168,330 phone calls on top of the canvasses. In state after state, OFA supporters not only hit their goals--they blew past them. South Dakota Indiana New York
Ultimately, the numbers tell only part of the story. What's behind the numbers is a corps of volunteers across the country who are fired up and working hard to move America forward and to keep us from going back to the policies that drove our country into a ditch. And this past weekend was only the beginning.
Post from Erica Sagrans's Blog: Obama and Kaine on What's at Stake in November
| Also listed in: 2010 HQ Blog |
President Obama and Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine each gave major speeches yesterday—laying out the choice voters face in November and what’s at stake in this election. Both addresses drew strong contrasts between the work of Democrats to move our country and economy forward, and Republicans who want to take us back to the failed policies that got our country into trouble to begin with.
Check out some of the news on the President in Cleveland Philadelphia
Unveiling his economic agenda for the fall campaign in a lengthy and sharply populist speech that sought to appeal to the middle class, Mr. Obama also urged voters not to allow Republicans to “ride” fears about the economy into the election booths in the midterm elections in November. Mr. Obama acknowledged that “people are frustrated and angry and anxious about the future.” But he argued that a Republican return to power would lead to a repeat of failed policies of the past. “A lot has changed since I came here in those final days of the last election,” Mr. Obama told a largely sympathetic crowd of around 3,000 at the Cuyahoga Community College Parma Cleveland
President Barack Obama, fighting to preserve his party’s control of Congress, laid out his battle plan on Wednesday, drawing sharp distinctions between his vision to rebuild the nation’s economy — and the struggling middle class — and Republican economic policies, which he said triggered last year’s financial meltdown.… In a blunt critique to Boehner’s economic policy speech in Cleveland
In a starkly political speech President Obama assailed House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-OH, by name eight times today, attacking the Republicans economic philosophy as flawed and weak, attempting to define the choice that people have in November’s election....The president defined the Republican economic philosophy as, “Cut taxes, especially for millionaires and billionaires. Cut regulations for special interests. Cut trade deals even if they didn’t benefit our workers. Cut back on investments in our people and our future.”
In his first major speech of the fall campaign season, Kaine emphasized his party's legislative accomplishments while acknowledging a tough road ahead. Kaine told a group of students and supporters at the University of Pennsylvania America
Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine delivered a full-throated defense of his party's record on the economy, health care and financial regulation here Wednesday as he kicked off the fall campaign season with a speech casting the Democrats as underdogs in the battle for control of Congress.
