Feingold returns to DC for award, speaks out on civil liberties and union rights By Craig Gilbert of the Journal Sentinel

Washington – Making his first speech in DC since he left the Senate, Russ Feingold Wednesday chastised Democrats for failing to protect civil liberties and Republicans for going after workers’ bargaining rights.

Feingold was in Washington to receive the Ridenhour Courage Prize, an award honoring progressive figures and causes that has gone in the past to Daniel Ellsberg, Seymour Hersh, former President Jimmy Carter and Gloria Steinem.
