"This was truly one of the most strange and wrong decisions in the history of this country", says Feingold, and he argues that the Supreme Court has rendered precedent useless. ---- Former US Senator Russell Feingold (D-WI) in conversation at the Commonwealth Club of California. Feingold discusses his political career and current events in the news. Widely known for his efforts to spur campaign finance reform during his 18 years as a US senator, Democratic Feingold was the only senator to oppose the Patriot Act of 2001 and the first to propose a concrete timetable for the dissolution of American troops in Iraq. He is also a major opponent of financial deregulation and controversial trade agreements, cosponsor of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, and founder of Progressives United, an organization formed to combat the results of the Supreme Court's contentious ruling on Citizens United v. FEC. In Feingold's forthcoming book, "While America Sleeps", the former senator offers his account of what he sees as America's recent mistakes and advances a realignment of objectives designed to build a successful global future.

democracynow.org - One of the newly named co-chairs of President Obama's re-election campaign is openly criticizing the President's decision to accept super PAC funds, his record on civil liberties and his handling of the war in Afghanistan. Former US Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin has described Obama's decision on super PACs as "dancing the with the devil." At the time Feingold was named a campaign election co-chair on Wednesday, the lead headline on his organization's website read: "The President Is Wrong." "I think it's a big mistake to go down the road of unlimited, undisclosed corporate contributions," Feingold says. "That's not who Barack Obama is, that's not who the Democratic Party should be, and I think it doesn't help him get re-elected. I think it delivers the Democrats as well as the Republicans to corporate power and corporate domination." Feingold served in the US Senate for 18 years. During that time, he wrote the landmark campaign finance law McCain-Feingold. He also opposed the war in Iraq and was the only senator to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act. After he lost his re-election bid in 2010, he is founded the organization Progressives United. His new book is called, "While America Sleeps: A Wake-Up Call for the Post-9/11 Era."

Sunday, June 13, 2011. This is edited to show how the 2 events were sequenced and interwoven. After Feingold's speech ended, the crowd was told: "One of our greatest allies has been the firefighters — the firefighters' union. They are having a special commemoration for their fallen members, and they've asked us to cheer them on as they march from the Concourse, they're going to take a left around the Capitol. Just the firefighters. But they ask if we wait here 'til they come, they should be here in about 5 to 10 minutes. We want to cheer them on. We want to remember people who've fallen. We want to stand with the firefighters and we're ready for this week." During the wait, there were chants of "Recall Walker" and "What's disgusting? Union busting!" When the firefighters arrive, the crowd cheers "thank you, thank you" — which could mean thank you for your public service, but it is also the cheer that was used throughout the protests to express approval for participating in the protest. We see more of the march as it goes around to the right and over to the Monona Terrace (where the ceremony will take place). You'll see the firefighters — with Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin in formation — followed by civilians, many of whom are carrying protest signs. So, the ceremony could have been long planned, with no connection to the protests, but: 1. There seems to be another firefighters' march today, 2. The firefighters seem to have coordinated with the announcer at the Feingold <b>...</b>
