Feingold returns: 'Progressives United' PAC to fight corporate influence

Feingold has returned -- and like so many other former politicos, he's leading a new political action committee.

Called "Progressives United," Feingold said he intended for the group to stand up to undue corporate influence in the halls of American governance.

"As progressives, it's time we made our voices heard," he said in a video published to YouTube. "Washington, sadly, has become a playground for corporations and their lobbyists. For too long we've watched as our jobs have been shipped overseas, and we've seen our leaders in Washington coddle the Wall Street banks,

Now THIS is a story, and cause to not only pay attention to, but to become involved and proactive in, as this is one of THE biggest problems facing us in modern history---The CORPORATE hijacking and take-over of our leadership on virtually ALL levels!

I would say Feingold used to be one of those guys.

He was one of the first, if not the first, to stand up against the Patriot Act, and he caught a lot of flack for it back then.

I am not progressive by a long shot, but I will say, that years ago, he had my respect, and even a vote once or twice.
I disagree with many of his stances, but I always respected him for standing his ground based on what was right, at least from his view point.

If Feingold could get back to what made him a respectable politician (?) years back, he probably could have a shot again here in Wisconsin.
