You Did It! Last week I wrote to you and asked for your help in raising $20,000 so that the Progressive Patriots Fund could contribute $1,000 to 20 freshman members of Congress who stood with us in our continued fight to put an end to the President's failed Iraq policy.  You responded swiftly and generously to our call to action, and I'm happy to report that we were able to surpass that goal.  The outpouring of support that you displayed exceeded our expectations and for that we cannot thank you enough.  Any contributions received in excess of our goal of $20,000 will be set aside in order to make contributions to additional progressive incumbents and challengers in the months ahead. By showing your support for those who are demanding an end to one of the biggest mistakes in the history of our nation, you proved that if elected officials stand with us, we'll stand with them.  Thanks to you, each of their reelection campaigns will get a check from the Progressive Patriots Fund this week! While each of the elected officials we identified supported our efforts to end the war, it is also important to note that each one was also suggested by members of the Progressive Patriots community through our 'Suggest a Candidate' section of the website.  Your suggestions have always been the primary way we find candidates to support.  So today, please take a moment to give us your valuable input.   Suggest a Candidate Today http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/ As you know, we created the Progressive Patriots Fund to advance a progressive agenda and support progressive candidates across the country.  By suggesting a candidate today, you will help us build a roster of progressive incumbents and challengers that we can assist in next year’s election.   Suggest a Candidate Today http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/ It is high time we reward those who stand tough against this administration and the Republicans in Congress.  The results from this '$20,000 for 20' campaign proved what we knew all along - that you are as committed as I am to ensuring the reelection of members of Congress who stood strong in the face of those who would see us remain indefinitely in this disastrous war. I am, as always, grateful for your unfailing support and look forward to reading about the great candidates you suggest. Sincerely, Russ Feingold United States Senator Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund
