Russ Feingold and JoAnne Kloppenburg

Radical Leftist Russ Feingold, former U.S. senator fired on November 2, 2010, by the people of Wisconsin, supports (SURPRISE!) JoAnne Kloppenburg for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

He posted his endorsement on the website of his political action committee - P.U. or Progressives United.

Why I Am Supporting JoAnne

By Russ Feingold

In the last two months, we watched as Governor Walker and the Republican-led state legislature ignored Wisconsin’s traditions of compromise, common-sense, and comity.

Just as disturbing is the path our Supreme Court races have taken over the last few years - as outside interest groups and corporate donations brought these campaigns into the mud.

Our state deserves better, and our elected officials, especially Supreme Court justices, should be held to a higher standard.

It's time we stand together to support candidates who will respect Wisconsin's traditions and impartially follow the law. JoAnne Kloppenburg is that candidate. On April 5, Wisconsinites can go to the polls and bring some much-needed change to the court.

JoAnne has a long record of working with progressives and conservatives in the interest of justice, and she'll make an excellent justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Together, we can support a candidate who impartially applies the law and upholds the individual rights and democratic principles that this state holds dear. Please vote for JoAnne Kloppenburg in next week’s election.

The fact that Feingold is supporting Kloppenburg should serve as an alert to Wisconsin voters.

Vote for Justice David Prosser.
