Why, the tea party activists would be laughing and crowing in their victory in bringing down one of our best progressives in the Senate, Senator Russ Feingold! They'd love having that lunatic Ron Johnson, who defends pedophile priests, in the Senate instead. That alone should be enough for progressives to help defend Senator Feingold's seat, but it isn't enough. You see, the teabaggers are frothing at the mouth in Wisconsin to take Senator Feingold down, and they'll stop at nothing to do it.
We NEED to stop at nothing to keep Senator Feingold in the Senate, and to keep his seat blue! So, can you help outby donating $10 dollars today to Senator Feingold on Actblue?

Once again, here's why it would be terrible to lose Senator Feingold to the likes of Ron Johnson:
While the Republican Party voted year after year to raid the Social Security trust fund for things like the irresponsible Bush tax cuts for the wealthy that Johnson supports, Senator Feingold voted year after year to keep the trust fund solvent.
Senator Feingold has spent his career protecting and honoring Wisconsin’s seniors. On the other hand, Ron Johnson actively wonders, "How is Social Security different from a giant Ponzi scheme?" [Winnebago County Republicans’ Lincoln Day Dinner, 3/21/10] and says that "I am more than willing to take a look at any proposal, you know all options, to make Social Security sustainable" [WPR – Here and Now, 7/26/10]. Johnson has also expressed his willingness to privatize Social Security and calls Paul Ryan’s radical plan "a starting point" [CNN, 9/22/2010].
Senator Feingold wants to save Social Security, and Ron Johnson doesn't. He'd love selling off our seniors' retirement to these robber barons on Wall Street. That is one of the many differences between these candidates, so please do all you can do to help out Senator Feingold!
