Russ Feingold is hiring for his Progressive Patriots Fund

[Connonym]

<snip>Senator Feingold has long believed that a strong grassroots field program is the key to electoral victory. As such, Senator Feingold started the Patriot Corps in 2006 as a way to support important races across the nation. In the lead up to the 2008 election, Senator Feingold will again be hiring, training and sending field staff to key races across the country.
We're looking for at least 20 energetic, personable activists from across the country to participate in our second Patriot Corps program. Once chosen, Patriot Corps members will participate in an extensive, multi-day training program in Milwaukee, WI the first week of September. This training will focus on volunteer recruitment, organizing a canvas, running a phone bank, working with local activists, advanced GOTV training, and staffing a candidate. Patriot Corps members will then be placed on targeted campaigns across the country for the last two months leading up to the election.
While we’re looking for organizers with experience, we’re also hoping to hire activists with a willingness to work hard to bring victory home this fall.
For more information or to apply for the Patriots Corps Program, please contact Paula Zellner at [e-mail] or 715-735-7811. All applications must be submitted by Friday, July 25th. http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com

An added benefit here is that the training will be in Milwaukee and we've got a GREAT bunch of DUers here who would make you feel welcome.

3. Feingold did the same thing in 2006

I think the people he trained helped out a lot in important races.
