Feingold connects at home - Rural Constituents Applaud Censure
http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=409557

Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold wants to make one thing perfectly clear - he's for wiretapping terrorists.

He just wants it done legally.

That was the message Feingold carried to this corner of rural Wisconsin Monday during two listening sessions with constituents. The meetings came days after Feingold rattled Washington and the White House with his resolution to censure President Bush over a domestic wiretapping program.

While Feingold's censure bid caused a commotion inside the Washington Beltway and on the ever-expanding blogosphere, it was just one of many issues brought up by his constituents, who deal with real-life concerns such as farming, education, health care and Social Security.

But when Feingold made his case to censure the president, he received sustained applause from a crowd of nearly 100 people at the Belle Plaine Community Center in Shawano County.
