Russ Feingold's new PAC Web Site

Russ Feingold's Political Action Committee, The Progressive Patriots Fund has set up a Web Site to help in efforts to support progressive candidates in the 2006 elections and possibly seek support for Feingold if he pursues a presidential run in 2008. The site focuses a lot on Feingold's agenda and less on the other candidates that the group supports, although I'm guess that will probably change as the 2006 elections approach.

George Aldrich, Feingold’s spokesman, said the committee has already donated to three Senate incumbents who are up for re-election in 2006 — Sens. Bill Nelson of Florida, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico.

Aldrich said Feingold also is soliciting support for his proposed legislation — the Security and Freedom Enhancement Act, or SAFE Act — that would restore judicial oversight to some of the police powers granted by Congress in the Patriot Act following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The committee’s most recent financial disclosure report shows it received $127,366 in donations through the end of April. It had $80,190 in available cash.
