This week there are reports that a phony issue organization was created with the specific purpose of attacking at least 15 freshman Democratic members of Congress. According to these news stories, this group has already spent millions of dollars running despicable television ads that accuse these members of being weak on national security issues. Because these members of Congress refused to cave in to the Bush administration and immediately pass a flawed extension of the so-called "Protect America Act" – legislation that would weaken privacy protections for American citizens and provide retroactive immunity to telecom companies - they are now under attack and urgently need our help.
Contribute Today to Respond to These Misleading Attacks
http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/index.htmlI'd like the Progressive Patriots Fund to raise $15,000 today to contribute $1,000 to each of the 15 members under attack as a show of our support. Now is the time to show those who distort the truth that the members of the Progressive Patriots Fund community will not stand by, but will instead stand strong in the face of these fear-mongering tactics.
Join Me in Responding to These Ugly Attacks
http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/index.htmlTogether we have grown the Progressive Patriots Fund into a strong national progressive organization. To demonstrate our true political strength we must respond quickly and strongly to these outrageously false attacks.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold
