Write Sen. Russ Feingold a thank you message for all his work.

[PeaceNikki]

We lost a lot of bold leaders on Tuesday, but Senator Russ Feingold is in a class all his own.

He is one of the great heroes of the progressive movement -- standing up and fighting for the people of his state and Americans across the country time and again -- often when no one else had the courage to lead.

When other Democrats in Washington capitulated to President Bush and supported the war in Iraq, Senator Feingold stood up and voted against war. Two years later, he became the first Senator to call a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

When the Bush administration pushed the Patriot Act on Congress, Senator Feingold was the only person is the Senate to recognize the bill as an attack on American civil liberties and vote "No."

And when unlimited and unregulated "soft money" threatened to overwhelm our political system, Senator Feingold authored and passed into law the most powerful campaign finance reform in history.

Senator Feingold has always been there for us. Please, join me in writing Senator Feingold a short thank you message for all the work he's done for us over the years.

Write your message today and next week we'll have members in Washington DC and Wisconsin deliver all of the thank you messages from across the country to each and every one of Senator Feingold's offices.

And, of course, thank YOU for everything you do.

1. One of the best Senators. I'll always remember his stand on

the FISA bill. He tried, but we have too many weak, unprincipled, corporate stooges in Congress who care nothing about this country.

2. I already did. A few days ago.
