Lecture: While America Sleeps: A Wake Up Call for the Post 9/11 era

University YMCA, Latzer Hall
September 14, 2012 at 12 noon

For eighteen years, Russell D. Feingold represented Wisconsin in the
United States Senate. He was the only senator to vote against the
Patriot Act, was the first senator to propose a timetable to exit
Iraq, and believes we need a timetable to leave Afghanistan. In
addition, he has always fought against unfair trade agreements like
NAFTA and fought against financial deregulation. He is author and
sponsor of McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform.  Russ is also the
author of the New York Times bestseller While America Sleeps, about
what America has done wrong both domestically and abroad since the
terrorist attacks of September 11, and what steps must be taken to
ensure that the next ten years are focused on the international
problems that threaten America and its citizens. Lunch reservations
required for this talk.

This lecture is part of the University YMCA's fall series, Beyond the
Rhetoric: Key Issues in the 2012 Elections.  This semester's free,
