Feingold Headed to Iowa to Help Elect Democrats
Feingold Will Also Speak at the University of Iowa

Milwaukee, WI – U.S. Senator Russ Feingold announced today that he will be traveling to Iowa this week, Friday, April 28th and Saturday, April 29th. He will hold fundraisers for 2nd Congressional District Candidate Dave Loebsack on Friday and 4th Congressional District Candidate Selden Spencer on Saturday.

Feingold will also speak on Friday at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City. The speech is open to the public. Feingold will discuss the President’s illegal domestic wiretapping program as well as his resolution to censure the President for those illegal actions. Feingold’s censure resolution is the first step toward holding the President accountable for breaking the law. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin was the first Senator to publicly support and cosponsor Feingold’s censure resolution shortly after it was introduced.

Feingold will stop by three congressional district conventions on Saturday, (the third, fourth, and fifth congressional districts) and visit with those in attendance.

Feingold created the Progressive Patriots Fund, following the 2004 elections, to promote a progressive reform agenda and to support candidates for office around the country. The Progressive Patriots Fund can be found on the web at: www.progressivepatriotsfund.com.

2. I'll be in Iowa City and in Ft. Dodge

I might go to the fundraiser in Cedar Rapids for Loebsack, but probably not.

3. Doh!

I really want to attend the fundraiser for Loebsack, but I don't particularly want to go by myself and my lover girl is bailing on me at the last minute. I am not one of those "show up alone" kind of guys, i'm a bit shy.

Hopefully I will be able to finagle someone into going with me so I can hear him speak.
