Russell Dana "Russ" Feingold was the senior US Senator from Wisconsin until a crazy teabagger named Ron Johnson took over. He did really amazing things, such as being the sole senator to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act[1]. He also co-sponsored the McCain-Feingold Act, which would have helped get money out of politics. It never made it too a vote and then Citizens United came and ruined everything.
Feingold supports universal background checks, but not an asualt weapons ban[2] He's also pro-choice[3]
Feingold wrote a book talking about Post-9/11 challages[4]
Barack Obama likes Russ Feingold. Read This...
Russ is an honest, independent-minded public servant who's not driven by what's politically expedient; he's driven by what he knows is right for the people of Wisconsin. (Barack Obama) [5]
Ha! Take that Ron Johnson.
