Fjelstad Warns Against Career Politicians

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/14/2016 - 6:36am

Dear Editor,
“Throw the bums out,” a rallying phrase used to get rid of Politicians who have been in office too long.
Wisconsin will have two career politicians with over 30 years in politics each at the top of the Democratic ticket, Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold.
Russ Feingold had spent 18 years in the US Senate. His most famous vote was the only vote against the “Patriot Act.” His only recognized legislative accomplishment was “Campaign Finance Reform.” This was struck down and abolished by the courts.
