Feingold Online to "Listen"
Potential 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Russ Feingold has become the first in the crowd of candidates to host a national town hall meeting via the Internet.Through his Web site, Feingold yesterday promoted his independent progressive ideas, taking them to several states during a Web chat with those who signed up on his site. Not only was it his first try at a national town hall on the Internet; it is also believed to be the first by a national leader this cycle. A review of the chat found Feingold expressive on several serious issues and funny on others, as when one questioner jokingly asked if the National Security Agency was peeping. Wrote Feingold, "I'd like to say howdy to all my buddies at the NSA. Quite seriously, I admire and support the work they do to stop terrorism. It's not their fault that the president ordered an illegal version of their otherwise legal and appropriate activities." Posted by: Desert Blondie 2006-03-14 |
