I watched it last night and it was good, but sad at the same time. He certainly took a stand for "we the people."

Senator Russ Feingold reminds me of Paul, there aren't many Senators that even come close to what Paul stood for. He gave me hope for the future. He is missed by so many people. It's worth the time to watch it.

It's also on at 1:00 pm.

2. You are so correct

I have seen this before and yes what we need is about 51 Senators like him and 201 Congressional reps in congress now...... and yes Feingold does remind me of him..

3. There will be Democratic landslide in 2006, well, in a normal world. n/t

4. I'd like to see that.

I think Dick Durbin might be as close as we have anymore. He was the only other Democrat up for re-election that year who voted against the war in Iraq.

5. If Bernie Sanders gets in the Senate he'll carry on Wellstone's legacy

6. From what I've read about Bernie Sanders, it appears that he doesn't

get influenced by outside forces (republicans, democrats or corporations) and stands up for ordinary people.

If we ever get campaign finance reform that is fair to all Americans, then I believe this country would be in the hands of Independents. Right now it's BS. I have friends that are very smart and capable of doing the job that some of these loser Congressmen and women are doing. The only problem is that they are ordinary working people, that are not rich.

Why do our leaders have to be millionaires? Personally, I trust the average person more than most Congress people. Some of the people I know are very brilliant, but just don't have the means to run for Congress.

One other thing, to the Hague, with the whole ** administration....
