"This culture of corporate influence and corruption is precisely what we as Progressives United want to change," he wrote. "So we've decided to take on those legislators who are unwilling to stand up to corporate power, and we're naming names."

The names included House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). In addition, the email targeted Sens. Mitch McConnell, (R-KY), Rob Portman (R-OH), Joe Lieberman (I-CT), and Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-CA).

Feingold accused the group of backing "corporate interests in Congress" by opposing an executive order under discussion in the White House that would require government contractors to reveal their political donations."

Russ Feingold's PAC Raises $1 Million To Fight Corporate Influence

Russ Feingold's PAC Raises $1 Million To Fight Corporate Influence: Posted: 04/15/11 01:47 | Huffington Post | Amanda Terkel


"Although Feingold has no intention of running for president - he has repeatedly stated his support for President Obama - his PAC has attracted support and money in amounts that put him in the same league as serious presidential contenders. As a comparison, Mitt Romney's federal and state PACs raised nearly $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Donations to Progressives United were fueled, in large part, by increased national attention on corporate influence in politics and the recent surge in on-the-ground progressive activism. That Feingold has remained highly visible since leaving the Senate also helped raise funds. Though his day job is now teaching law school at Marquette University, his vocal support of the labor fight in Wisconsin has kept him in the public eye.

Just two days after the launch of Progressives United, Feingold went to the state capitol in Madison and marched with local firefighters protesting Republican-backed legislation that stripped most of the state's public employees of their collective bargaining rights. When he arrived at the capitol, protesters cheered and some even broke into chants of "Feingold for Governor." Full Article Here | Huffpost Politics
