Jenifer,

Last week Reince Priebus - WI GOP chair, and general counsel for Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele - devoted an entire column to slamming Russ, distorting his record and attacking him personally.  While offering absolutely no solutions of his own, Priebus even went so far as to criticize Russ’s fight for real healthcare reform, and his efforts to save taxpayers a half trillion dollars by enacting tough reforms and cutting waste through his Control Spending Now Act.  Russ has always had tough races, and we're confident that we will be able to counter our opponents' extreme rhetoric and baseless attacks, but we're going to need your help to do it.

We've never thought that this would be an easy race, and the negative tone that the opposition has already taken is further proof that the other side will do whatever it takes to try and defeat Russ next fall.  In addition to Priebus, both of Russ’s announced opponents, Dave Westlake and Terrence Wall, have been hard at work on their own - slinging mud and distorting Russ's record.  Our campaign will respond to these attacks, but we can't do it without your help.  That's why we've launched an Early Renewal of Support Campaign.

Renew Your Support – Contribute $25.00 Today!

Whether it be getting our economy back on track and creating jobs, a plan for Afghanistan that makes sense for our national security interests, or passing meaningful health care reform, Russ continues to be a leader by standing up for all of us.  Meanwhile, both Mr. Westlake and Mr. Wall are hard-right ideologues, lacking independence, and along with the national and state boss’s of the GOP, are standing in direct opposition of the values we all share – and are taking pot shots at Russ while offering no ideas of their own at every turn.  The importance of your early participation in our campaign cannot be overstated, which is why we’re asking you to renew your support for Russ today.  

Renew Your Support – Contribute $25.00 Today!

No matter what the other side throws our way, our strategy will not change.  We're committed to running a people-powered, grassroots organization - the kind that Russ has always run.  And we couldn't do it without dedicated supporters like you.

Sincerely,

Trevor Miller
Feingold Senate Committee
