From my emailbox from Russ Feingold: Friend, I want to tell you a little bit more about how we can change the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment. You see, the constitution specifies that each individual state chooses how to allocate its own delegates to the Electoral College. In practice,…

Found in the inbox from Russ Feingold: Friend — Less than two months into a new administration, we are now facing the biggest crisis of legitimacy of our democracy in a generation or more. That’s why today, I am announcing the formation of a new project to mobilize citizens in…

Ron Johnson has repeatedly criticized Russ Feingold for Feingold’s opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership, saying that he doesn’t know how Feingold could have opposed it before he even read it. Holy cow! Rojo sounds just like Ron Kind! At a February 2016 listening session in Eau Claire, Kind was…

As I’ve noted here before incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson is among the most vulnerable incumbents facing reelection in 2016. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Johnson is facing a tough reelection fight against the man he beat in 2010 – former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. While Johnson did beat…

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Johnson is facing a tough reelection fight against the man he beat in 2010 – former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. While Johnson did beat Feingold…

Earlier today Democrat Russ Feingold signed the Badger Pledge and asked Sen. Ron Johnson to sign as well. The Badger Pledge, which is modeled after the successful bipartisan agreement used in the 2012 Massachusetts Senate race, would seek to limit the amount of third-party spending in Wisconsin’s 2016 U.S. Senate…
