Friend,
As a Wisconsin native, I know a thing or two about cheese. And, as someone who starred on "The West Wing," you might say I know a thing or two about politics. That's why I was so excited to get invited to lend a hand in Russ's CheddarBomb today: Because everyone knows that cheese + politics = CheddarBomb!
Right now, Russ isn't just up against tea party, Trump-supporting Senator Ron Johnson: He's also up against the ten right-wing groups that have supported Senator Johnson, too. So, to counter these ten outside groups, Russ is trying to get 10,000 grassroots contributions by midnight tonight.
Simple, right? Today, it's the number of grassroots contributions that counts -- not the sum -- and Russ is inching closer and closer to his goal. Can you chip in to help Russ reach 10,000 grassroots contributions?
It broke my heart when the Koch brothers tried to buy Wisconsin: First, they bought Governor Walker to do their bidding at the capitol. Then, they bought Senator Johnson to do their bidding in Washington.
But I'm so hopeful. Back in 2011, I joined thousands and thousands of my fellow Wisconsinites at our state capitol to protest Governor Walker's attack on workers. That's the moment when I knew we could take Wisconsin back from the Koch brothers, billionaires, and right-wing special interest groups.
Wanna know how I know?
Wisconsin progressives are resilient, and we're not going to go away. This is a constituency that knows patience. After all, we fish through ice.
The window to support Russ's CheddarBomb closes at midnight tonight, and every single dollar gets us closer to reaching 10,000 grassroots contributions to match Senator Ron Johnson's ten right-wing groups. Do what you can right now to blast this CheddarBomb out of the water.
Russ is a progressive champion. He listens, he works hard, and you can always count on him to put the wonderful people of Wisconsin first. That's why I'm proud to do all that I can to get him elected.
(Plus, when he wins, we can all drink from the keg of glory and share the finest muffins and bagels in the land!)
Thanks, and game on!

P.S. Yes, I know you're wondering: On behalf of fictional President Josiah Bartlet, I hereby formally endorse Russ Feingold for Senate.
