As I sit here, listening to Russ Feingold show the Democrats what it means to fight back against Bush and his lies, his agendas, his war-mongering, I really just wanted to say thank you to Russ Feingold.
Thank you for not forgetting what this country stands for.
Thank you for not letting the Republican fear machine cow you into submission, as so many of your colleagues have allowed.
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Thank you for asking the tough questions.
Thank you for not giving up the fight.
Thank you being one of the few, shining examples of courage and integrity in a Congress that is crippled with mewling, weak-kneed capitulators.
Thank you for giving regular Americans a glimmer of hope that perhaps it's not hopeless, it's not useless to fight, to write and call, to speak out against Bush.
Russ Feingold, thank you.
