FEINGOLD TO INTRODUCE, SPEAK ON SENATE FLOOR REGARDING RESOLUTION CENSURING THE PRESIDENT
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will speak on the Senate floor today, March 13, 2006, at approximately 4:00 pm ET, regarding the resolution he is introducing to censure President George W. Bush for authorizing an illegal domestic wiretapping program and then misleading Congress and the public about its existence and legality. Feingold says the resolution is a responsible step for Congress to take in response to the President’s undermining of the separation of powers and ignoring the rule of law.
This speech should be on C-SPAN2, which carries the Senate when it is in session. Some people think speeches don’t matter. Speeches can matter. Russ Feingold is the one person in the Senate that has shown the courage to stand up for our rights and lead. If you’ve been thirsting for someone to show some spine, some principle, and some fight, this is the time to tune-in and drink a full cup.
I advise everyone to tape it and send it to your friends, or find a video capture and email the link. Write your local papers about how much gratitude you have for Russ for saying what you are thinking and representing you when so many politicians will not. You want to see what a real alternative to wishy-washy poll-driven corporate centrist politics looks like?
Tune in to see Russ tell truth to power. He is going to shame this Senate. He is going to shame them mercilessly.
