.monospace {font-family:Courier, monospace; Dear
Matilda,
A Republican Senator is trying to derail my campaign finance disclosure bill,
and I need your help to figure out who it is.
My legislation, the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act (S. 223), requires
Senate campaigns to submit campaign finance reports electronically. Sounds
simple enough doesn't it? House campaigns, political parties, Presidential
campaigns, and even 527's already file their reports online but that's not
the case in the Senate.
The Senate has exempted themselves from this requirement and is only required
to file paper reports. The public's ability to review these reports in a
timely manner is substantially curtailed by these antiquated paper filings.
Not only that, it costs taxpayers over $250,000 per year to have these reports
scanned and made available online at a much later date.
When Senator Feinstein and I sought to pass this legislation by unanimous
consent, an objection was voiced on the floor "on behalf of a Republican
senator." Senators are within their rights to object to a bill coming to the
floor of the Senate, but the objecting senator has not been named, and no one
has spoken to me about any objection they may have to this legislation.
The use of these so-called "secret holds" has rightly come under attack in
recent years, and I need your help to try and determine who may be delaying
this common sense reform measure.
If you are represented by a Republican senator, please contact them and ask
if they're holding up my Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act. You can get
contact info for your senators here. If you live in a state with two
Democratic senators, consider forwarding this email to your friends in states
that aren't so lucky.
If you learn of anything that may be useful in helping me identify the
"Secret Hold Senator," email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have no intention of dropping this issue and I appreciate your help in
keeping the pressure on to try and identify this anonymous objector.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold
United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 100,000 voices to end the war Date: Tue,
08 May 2007 14:43:43 -0400 #message { overflow:auto; visibility:hidden }
Dear theresa j.,
Congress has reached a fork in the road on the war in Iraq and they urgently
need your help to choose the right path.
One direction leads straight to more war with no end in sight. It's a road
paved with symbolic deauthorization bills, hoping for veto-overrides that never
come, and so-called temporary extensions that give Bush all the money he needs
without ever actually bringing a single troop home.
But in the other direction lies real actionusing Congress' funding power right
now to pass another binding plan to force George Bush to actually end this war.
Only massive, direct public pressure will get Congress to choose the right
path. Congress took the right first step by passing their last funding bill.
But following Bush's veto the resolve in Washington has started to fade. If we
want to end this war, we've got to speak up now.
So this week we're gathering 100,000 voices calling on Congress to stand firm
and send back a binding plan to end the war. We're at nearly 70,000 signatures
now, and we need your help to get over the top. Please sign our emergency
petition right away.
www.johnedwards.com/standfirm
After you've signed yourself, please ask at least one person you know to do the
same. Getting to 100,000 will take all of us.
The latest news from Washington is that Congress is considering abandoning
their binding plan to end the war and instead give Bush another
extensionprobably until September. This is completely irresponsible. When
September rolls around, we'll be right back in the same place and Bush will
push for another extension, just like he's been doing for years.
This has to stop now. It's already clear that the escalation has failed. Bush
has no authority to use American troops to police a civil war, but that's what
he's doing. There is no military solution to the sectarian violence in Iraq.
Enough is enough. It's time to end the war. And that means no more extensions,
no more delays, no more non-binding anything.
If Congress is going to find the courage to end the war, they're going to need
to get it from you. This is the moment of choice. The road our nation embarks
down this week will have massive consequences for our troops, their families,
and our country. And as citizens who know this war needs to end, we must raise
our voice today.
We're aiming to deliver 100,000 signatures this week to show Congress that the
American people are counting on them to end this war. Please help make that
happen by adding your name today, and finding as many people as you can to join
our call.

--John Edwards
