Russ Backers

[Scuba]

from my email ...

Scuba,

I know it might be easy to grow cynical of a dysfunctional political system that works great for those at the top, but not very well for the rest of us.

Well, I've been out on the campaign trail over the last few weeks, meeting people and listening to their stories, and the folks I've met are anything but cynical: They're optimistic, excited, and ready for our government to once again work for the people, and not just for the multi-millionaires and billionaires.

I want to go to Washington to help fix this thing. But I can't do it alone (believe me, I know that!). Early support is crucial to building the strong campaign we need to win.

That's why we launched a special program called "RussBackers" to recognize our earliest supporters -- friends like you who are stepping up, early on, to power our campaign right from the beginning.

And I want you to be a part of it.

Contribute $25 or more before the May 31 deadline to become a founding member of the RussBackers, our campaign's strongest and earliest supporters -- and help us finish this first month of our optimistic, people-powered campaign strong!

In recent years, multi-millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations have been tipping the scales of our government in their favor, cramming through policies that help themselves, but hurt Wisconsin's working families.

It shouldn't be that way, and it doesn't have to be that way. Wisconsin deserves a voice in the Senate who will oppose bad trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, stand up for workers long under attack, and make sure the next generation will realize economic opportunity with affordable education.

That's why I'm running a people-powered campaign, driven by grassroots supporters dedicated to building a better future for our state and our nation.

Become a founding, card-carrying member of the RussBackers: Contribute $25 or more now before the May 31 deadline, and then don't forget to download your membership card!

I've seen, time and time again, what people are capable of when they stand together.

And I want you to be a part of this campaign, right from the beginning.

Thank you for standing with me.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
