Russ Feingold and Progressives United endorse Elizabeth Warren

[Scuba]

in my email....

Scuba,

When we launched Progressives United, we knew one of our key missions would be to support progressive candidates that are committed to ending corporate political abuse.

Today, I'm proud to announce Elizabeth Warren will be the first United States Senate candidate Progressives United will officially endorse and support.

I've known Elizabeth and her husband for years, and she's exactly the type of person who should be running for office.

Supporting her campaign for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts will be an absolutely crucial part of our fight against the nasty influence of corporate money in politics -- and she needs all the support we can give her before Friday.

Elizabeth has fought for years to rein in Wall Street and protect the middle class.

In 2005, she stood up against the Wall Street wish list of a bankruptcy bill -- a huge corporate giveaway I opposed in the Senate. And after the big banks drove us into a recession, Elizabeth proposed a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, and then fought tirelessly to make sure the Obama administration created it.

So when Elizabeth announced her decision to run for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts this month, to keep fighting for middle class families on Capitol Hill, I couldn't have been happier.

But on Friday, Elizabeth faces an important deadline: the end of the quarter, when she must submit her first public financial report showing how much money her campaign has raised.

The corporate lobbyists and big money special interests have all had months -- or in some cases years -- to prepare, but Elizabeth just announced her candidacy a couple of weeks ago, so she needs to catch up.

Let's show that progressives nationwide can unite and make 1,000 contributions to her campaign before midnight on Friday. Will you join me?

Help progressives make 1,000 contributions to Elizabeth Warren by contributing $5 or more today.

The fight against the rising dominance of corporate money over our government and our society takes many forms.

One thing's for sure: It must include supporting great candidates like Elizabeth Warren.

Thank you for uniting as a progressive,

P.S. -- In all my years in the Senate, I always took positions that I believed in, even when my own party tried to stand in the way. I know Elizabeth will be exactly the same kind of senator. Join me in supporting her right now.

4. K&R, and let me add this important message too ....

I just got a fund raising email from her campaign about an hour ago. They are looking for donations and if you have any to give this is probably the best Democratic Candidate to be found anywhere in the country and she sure could use your help. I've given once, I'll give again too.
