I saw you on FOX News. It was refreshing to see someone running for office who appeared to have some integrity and common sense. Feingold has 18 years? He needs to be voted out. I sincerely wish you and your family the best and I hope you win. I love this country and it pains me to see these career political clowns ruining it. Best always. John
I saw Ron with Liz Cheney last night. I grew up in Wisconsin but now live in Illinois. I think his message is wonderful and I will do what I can to support him. One thing I always thought about Russ Feingold was that he loves being a Senator more than he loves the State of Wisconsin. So my suggestion over the next few weeks is to emphasize your love for Wisconsin, The outdoors, the culture, the Packers, Brewers Badgers. From Milwaukee to Madison to LaCross, Wausau,Ojibwa, Door County and all points in between. Wisconsinites LOVE their state and he will win them over with his undying love in contrast to Russ!!
mr. johnson saw your ad, loved it….also saw the cheney interview and thought it was great….i also met you at a parade in luxemburg wi., i was the returned soldier, i have to say that you saluted me for my bravery, but i salute you sir….it takes an incredible amount of love for your country to subject your family to the often vicious slanders of politics, not to mention leaving the helm of a successful business….my thoughts are with you sir, and you have my ballot
Thank you for your kind words and support, but you are the one that deserves our heartfelt gratitude One of the real pleasures of campaigning has been the opportunity to meet, talk to, and sincerely thank veterans like you for your service. The young men and women, past and present, who have stepped up to the plate to defend our Freedoms are the finest among us. It is my true honor to acknowledge and salute your service.
I am a single mother of one working two jobs to try and keep my head above water. I am doing what I have to do to take care of my daughter and myself. I am sick and tired of what is going on in Washington—the reckless spending and the fact that our wishes are falling on deaf ears. My monetary support of your campaign unfortunately is minimal. However, I support your campaign wholeheartedly and request only this of you. If you are elected, and I know you will be, that you never stop listening to your constiuents and that you never ever become one of the “good ol’ boys”. God bless America!
I just listened to a feingold ad where he still claims to be going after large corporations and evil banks can he give you anymore help. good luck in november!
I like your statements about climate change mitigation, it’s never been experimentally tested like the scientific method demands. Climate change mitigation has never even been tried.
I don’t want to elect a climate change steward, I want you to balance the budget, cut spending and promote an energy policy that encourages the production and use of energy and fuel. I don’t want climate legislation or treaties, I want you to help our economy grow. Conservation may be a wonderful personal virtue, but for public policy, it’s all about poverty and getting along with less.
I’m going to donate to your campaign, keep fighting for good science against superstition.
Born & raised on a farm in Wisconsin for my first 20 years…Now live in Indiana but must join you in keeping Wis. the great state it is.
We tried to recall Kohl some years ago and would have succeeded but for some dirty tricks and misinformation. now is the time to get rid of him for good. Enclosed is my contribution to your campaign. Stay true to Wis. and to God.
Texas supports you! Having grown up in Minnesota and with a brother who lives in Wisconsin, it is frustrating to return to that area and see what their elected leaders are bringing to us all. Just wrote out my checks and will be putting them in the mail tomorrow. Best of luck; we need you to help bring back integrity in our elected leaders.
After hearing you on Rush (Mark Belling) I am sendiing a contribution from Florida. Lived in Wisconsin years ago and didn’t think I would live to see a true conservative run for office, must less win against a major liberal.
Heard your interview on Rush’s show with Mark Belling. I sent you a contribution this morning and now I ask for two yards signs that I can place on my yard.
Obamacare will be disastrous to our health care system and our economy, if allowed to stand . I recently heard you explain your opposition to this terrible legislation on Rush, and wholeheartedly support your efforts to add Mr. Feingold to the unemployment roles.
I was born and raised as a Badger, and but for Uncle Sam’s invitation to spend some time in the Desert Southwest, probably still would be. Please accept my Arizona contribution and good wishes from someone who has already experienced global warming. (Sure its warm; the trick is not to let it bother you!)
Thanks to you and your family for enduring all that goes with becoming a candidate. You will make a great U.S. Senator!
HI RON, Like the way you are firing back at the ads russ is running,
good job!
I saw this add mite work for you, it sure fits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H9yCnS1dKQ
Ron, I’m really onboard with your campaign. I’d love to see you step up and stress to your futures constituents that you are one of them and not one of the existing arrogant politicians by bolding stating that you will attempt to stop the current lifetime salary guarantee and exemptions to social security contribution and healthcare plan given to Senators and Congressmen.
Ron – As we approach the anniversary of 9/11 I am greatly moved by the change it has caused in our nation. We have great challenges ahead and need great leaders to help us through those challenges – you, I believe are that person and I pray that you will win and carry the strength of our great people to new levels. Good luck and God bless you and your family.
The commercial with corny but effective in the audience you are trying to appeal to. Even though you will ignore my email my comment is about your most recent negative add. Do you realize that the “actors” or real people were all middle aged or older white people? Is that the only group you are appealing to?
I love this commercial and I chuckle everytime I see it!
Get rid of Russ, he makes me sick. A career politican at best, he made a claim on the new tonight, TMJ4, he alluded that he is not a career politican, but if you worked for one company for 18 years, most informed Wisconsinites would call that a career!
I just want to encourage you to continue to run a clean campaign. You are the only one whose ads I have seen that have stayed focused on the issues, rather than mudslinging. Keep up the good fight.
You’re running a great campaign. Don’t get defensive and sucked into the lefts rhetoric of needing to end the “tax breaks for the wealthy” or “Bush’s tax breaks for the richest 3%.” Conservative candidates should be berating the left for “increasing taxes on the job producers!” We have no need to be defensive about insuring job producers have the resources to grow their businesses and hire more people. If small business owners who make over $250K are creating more than 40% of the new jobs, it’s only prudent that we not inhibit their ability to grow.
It’s almost been a decade since this terrible day took place. Many innocent lives were lost, people lost their friends and family. People, remember all of the brave men and women who helped in the enormous rescue attempt, I salute each and every one of you. There were over 2000 innocent people who died that day, that still gives me the chills thinking about it. Men and women died, to save the lives of others. Over 300 firefighters, dead. Remember the memories. Cherish the day. It brought us together and made us closer than ever as a nation.
RJ – we want Platinum for Wisconsin and that would be YOU!! We are tired of Feingold!! You are more precious to the people of the state than Feingold ever was- maverick never – self-serving – always.
I was born and lived in Wisconsin most of my life, until this last May. I emailed Feingold 7 times begging him not to vote for the healthcare bill – all I got was an automated response. Funny thing is – I told him if he voted for the bill – he would not see another term. Do your darndest and make me proud! Now I live in Florida – please keep up my home state – I will be back someday for sure – when I am buried next to my husband!
Let me know if you need a donation – I will do it in memory of my life of how Wisconsin was and can be!
We do not need another multi millionaire in office to give themselves a tax cut. Middle income people need tax cuts, not you. People like you don’t stimulate the economy, middle income people do. Multi millionaires invest their money or buy luxury items. You are not going create jobs from getting a tax cut, if their is not demand for the products you aren’t going to make them for the heck of it, if the the middle class stay in the tanker like they are! People reading this website, wake up. We don’t not need a Ron Johnson who doesn’t care about the middle class. Russ Feingold is our man, he’s a true independent. He actually cares about people and our constitution.
Congat’s on the Primary!
Look at the front page article today in the Milw. Journal on Wisconsin’s Soaring Health Care costs. Obama Care and our state mandates possibly? Look at Wisconsin’s double taxation out of state law on business’s in Wisc. Is this part of Harley Davidson’s situation unreported? Look at Cuba’s priviatzation of 500,000 govt. jobs reported in yesterdays and todays Milw. Journal. Why is Castro running away from it and Barrett, Feingold, Doyle and Obama running toward it?
Shame on you for lying. I might agree with some of your positions, but apparently you and your staff are just as good as the “career politicians” at lies and self-serving spin – in this case your spokeswoman Sara Sendek blatantly making things up (see link below). If she simply admitted that she was wrong, but that he is in essence a career politician, that’s fine. But to just make up facts to suit your rhetoric? Sounds like politics as usual. It scares me when people make up their own facts… You’ve lost my vote.
I was treasurer of Blue Star Mom’s SE Wisconsin Chptr. 2. My son served 2 tours in Iraq. Once when he came home for leave we had booked his flight in accordance with his papers. When he arrived back in WI he informed us that his leave had been changed and we would have to change the ticket back. I was dealing with United Airlines and requested a change; I was informed it would cost our son an additional $350 to change which would put his ticket at over $1300 dollars, which was his salary for 1 month. I sought the help of Senator Feingold, Senator Kohl, and Congressman Ryan. Senator Feingolds office assistant returned my call and informed me that there was nothing he could or would do about it. When I asked this assistant how much Senator Feingold paid for his airline tickets I was told that “Senator Feingold works for the government” to which I replied, so does my son…..never heard from his office again, nor did Senator Kohl ever contact me. Congressman Ryan contacted United and has promised to keep pushing on a “fair airline fee” for our military. So when Feingold says he “cares” about our military I find that a hard pill to swallow…You have my support…
First of all, thank you and your family for your service to our nation. Ensuring the finest among us, our brave young men and women defending our freedom, are protected and given the respect they deserve will be one of Ron’s top priorities. He’d love to give you a call to discuss more…please email info@ronjohnsonforsenate.com with your contact info.
Was watching the election results on Fox 6 and they turn to your acceptance speech after it was determine that you were going to be the Republican to go against Russ. Then the next sceen was Feingold’s “news broadcast’ about the government bail out you received. How low can one go to attack the one he will face immediately after he announced that he won the election. Feingold has hoasted out his true colors on what he plans to do. Go on falsehoods instead of issues.
Congratulations Ron
We met in Manitowoc, Holiday Inn on the 7th.
We spoke about the Bible passage in Exodus chapter 23 and verses 20 – 22. God says to Moses, ” I am sending my Angel before you, be careful to listen to Him. If you listen carefully, I will be an enemy to your enemies and an advocate to your advocates”
We have been stumping for you. Some are skeptical of politicans listening when we speak to them. I say you are one who will listen. Then they say if you hear back from him, let us know.
I believe you, and will tell them so. I want to support you with prayer and resource.
May God bless you Ron.

Where were you originally born? According to this, you haven’t listed basic biographical details, such as your birth date, place of birth, home city, religion, education, and professional and political experience with Project Vote Smart.[3]
Early life, education and career
Johnson has said that after graduating from college, he worked as an accountant for Josten’s, a school ring manufacturer. He said he attended night school to study for an MBA, but left before completing his thesis.[2]
In 1979, Johnson moved to Wisconsin where he started a business called PACUR, LLC with his brother-in-law. He was the accountant and a machine operator, and for most of the company’s first year, he traded 12 hour shifts with his brother-in-law until they could train other operators.
Johnson has said that he and his family moved from an unspecified state, and he claims residency in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Johnson has not listed his basic biographical details, such as his birth date, place of birth, home city, religion, education, and professional and political experience with Project Vote Smart.[3]

Hi Ron,
Are you sure they are not actors ? They all seem genuinely disconnected.
Best of Luck to you on 11-2-10 ! !
“In God we Still Trust.”
This is a friendly ad with subtle humor. I hope Ron is everything he appears to be, and I hope he goes on to defeat Sir Russ in the general election.
I saw Ron with Liz Cheney last night. I grew up in Wisconsin but now live in Illinois. I think his message is wonderful and I will do what I can to support him. One thing I always thought about Russ Feingold was that he loves being a Senator more than he loves the State of Wisconsin.

Just sent a contribution from Oregon. Heard your name mentioned tonight on the Sean Hannity show. Good luck, God bless America!!

Vote for Ron Johnson
Make Fiengold Unemployed
Vote for Ron Johnson
Heard your interview on Rush’s show with Mark Belling. I sent you a contribution this morning and now I ask for two yards signs that I can place on my yard.
Dear Mr. Johnson,

Thanks to you and your family for enduring all that goes with becoming a candidate. You will make a great U.S. Senator!
Stumping for you in Stevens Point. I believe you can and will make a change for Wisconsin. May Wisconsin go Red. God Bless you Ron and your Family.
HI RON, Like the way you are firing back at the ads russ is running,

Thanks for your comment, as you know this is not Ron’s life ambition and he thinks Congress should be treated like the rest of us.
Just wondering which country is now the greatest,freest, and most productive in the world.
Where can we pick up one of your signs?
Ron – As we approach the anniversary of 9/11 I am greatly moved by the change it has caused in our nation. We have great challenges ahead and need great leaders to help us through those challenges – you, I believe are that person and I pray that you will win and carry the strength of our great people to new levels.

Talk about limited terms in congress

Just watched the ron johnson commerical. Almost all the time voting with ones party would include ron and the republican party? Right.
I just want to encourage you to continue to run a clean campaign. You are the only one whose ads I have seen that have stayed focused on the issues, rather than mudslinging. Keep up the good fight.

When can the people of Wisconsin expect to here from you that you have accepted the challenge to 6 debates from Senator Feingold?
Debate schedule posted under press releases. Several statewide broadcasts lined up today.
