Feingold Debuted “W” Video Last Evening in Texas
Innovative Ad Takes a Unique Look at the President’s Illegal Domestic Spying Program and Feingold’s Censure Resolution
Milwaukee, WI ? U.S. Senator Russ Feingold debuted an innovative ad from the Progressive Patriots Fund last evening in Texas called “W.” This video takes a unique yet serious look at the President’s illegal domestic spying program and Feingold’s resolution to censure the President for these illegal actions. The Progressive Patriots ad is available here: www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/W.
“The President has broken the law by authorizing an illegal domestic surveillance program that wiretaps Americans, on American soil, without a warrant as required by law – He must be held accountable,” Feingold said. “Censuring the President is an appropriate step in the process of accountability. The “W” ad puts this issue in a unique perspective and I hope people around the country will take a look and forward the link to their friends. The President must stop playing fast and loose with our constitution. It’s time for him to return to the law.”
Feingold was in Texas to campaign for John Courage, the Democratic congressional candidate for the 21st district in Texas. Courage was also the winner of the Progressive Patriots Fund’s first “Pick a Progressive Patriot” event held last year.
The “W” ad was created by the Milwaukee agency Eichenbaum/Associates. Feingold has used Steve Eichenbaum’s agency for all of his television ads since he first ran for the U.S. Senate in 1992. “W” was directed by Milwaukee native Peter Bonerz. Mr. Bonerz has a distinguished career in both acting and directing. He played Dr. Jerry Robinson on “The Bob Newhart Show” and directed such television shows as “Murphy Brown” and “Friends.” A full list of his acting and directing credentials can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0094288/. “W” was produced by the Milwaukee based firm Purple Onion.

EXCELLENT COMMERCIAL/AD
😀 😀 😀
This is exactly what we need. A terrier that once he gets his teeth into something just will not let it go! Thank God for Russ Feingold. A True American Patriot.
I knew that name sounded familiar. I use to watch Bob Newhart all the time. Peter I believe played a dentist in the same ofc (more or less) where Bob played a psychiatirst (if my memory serves me right)..

ahhh the good old days.. what’s happen to my country 😥
I like what Scott Ritter said yesterday about warrantless wiretapping (and other things).

I like the fact that the ad clearly distinguishes between wiretapping Americans on our own soil, and wiretapping foreign nationals on their soil.
The republican dictatorship has tried to muddy the water so that people think only foreigners are being wiretapped without a warrant.
They have had some success in their deceit, but the polls react against the republican dictatorship when the situation is accurately explained.
