Awesome donation from a DUer to Progressive Patriots Fund!

[undeterred]

Thank you for your recent contribution of $1,766.00 to the Progressive Patriots Fund. Your support will enable me to be a part of a larger national effort to build the Democratic Party throughout America.

The challenges far too many Americans face every day did not go away with the past election. I will continue to give voice to those who believe we must work to provide health care for all Americans, protect and create jobs, ensure fiscal responsibility, and fight terrorism while also protecting our freedoms.

In both so-called red and blue states, people have a voice that needs to be heard. People in every state want a dialogue that moves beyond the electoral partisan politics and ideology that divide us.

That is why I intend to help begin a dialogue about how we move forward as a country united by the values we share and the challenges we face together.

Once again, I sincerely appreciate your support, and look forward to working with you and others as we rise to meet the challenges that lie ahead. I know that with your help we will succeed.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
United States Senator

1. rofl - wonder why it was $10 short?

Not that it takes away from the wonderfulness of the gift - just makes it look weird as a number...

14. Interesting... This is what was happening in 1766

http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/rev-prel.htm

1766 - In January, the New York assembly refuses to completely comply with Gen. Gage's request to enforce the Quartering Act.

1766 - In March, King George III signs a bill repealing the Stamp Act after much debate in the English Parliament, which included an appearance by Ben Franklin arguing for repeal and warning of a possible revolution in the American colonies if the Stamp Act was enforced by the British military.

1766 - On the same day it repealed the Stamp Act, the English Parliament passes the Declaratory Act stating that the British government has total power to legislate any laws governing the American colonies in all cases whatsoever.

1766 - In April, news of the repeal of the Stamp Act results in celebrations in the colonies and a relaxation of the boycott of imported English trade goods.

1766 - In August, violence breaks out in New York between British soldiers and armed colonists, including Sons of Liberty members. The violence erupts as a result of the continuing refusal of New York colonists to comply with the Quartering Act. In December, the New York legislature is suspended by the English Crown after once again voting to refuse to comply with the Act.

17. Typo, I'm sure -

I tried to write out a check to pay for the full price of a 2002 Jeep Liberty for my father-in-law. Had to tear up 2 checks before I got it right.

What a fantastic gesture, and a truly concerned citizen. :bounce::patriot::bounce:
