A Lansing State Journal editorial
Bob Alexander selected by Senator Russ Feingold as one of his “Progressive Patriots”
Feingold, writes that the ten candidates selected as “Progressive Patriots,” are:
challengers in emerging races, all of whom were nominated by you. These candidates have worked hard and made their races competitive, often without much support from traditional Democratic institutions. I’d like to give their GOTV operations a big boost, but to do that we’re going to need your help. Our goal is to raise $50,000 so that we can contribute $5,000 to each of these 10 candidates.

East Lansing, MI – Bob Alexander says he is glad that Republican opponent Mike Rogers voted against the proposed $700 billion bailout plan that failed in the House this afternoon, but that Rogers is not telling the whole story about his position on the fiscal crisis.
In a statement made after the vote on Monday, Rogers said that the Bailout plan ”does not focus on our real problems — a struggling economy, foreclosures and falling home values.” He adds that alternative plans could provide “assistance for struggling homeowners,” and that he will “keep working” to “keep families in their homes.”

Accompanying Alexander on the 38-hour round trip are the campaign’s Operations Manager, a Field Organizer and a videographer. The group’s Denver activities are being chronicled daily on the nationally known E-zine “One for the Table.”
