Democrats Shamelessly Attack Johnson Family Charity

Press Release

Earlier today, liberal website Salon.com ran a column based on false, baseless allegations Senator Feingold's allies have spread against the Grammie Jean Foundation, the non-profit established by the Johnson family in 2008 to provide donations to worthwhile charitable and educational programs in memory of Ron's late mother, Jean Johnson. In response to political attacks -- previously debunked and rejected prior to publication by numerous news organizations --the Ron Johnson for Senate campaign issued the following statement:

"This is a new low in Wisconsin politics -- Senator Feingold's allies are attacking a charitable nonprofit foundation that was named for Ron Johnson's late mother and has carried on her legacy of kindness and generosity. It's not surprising, though, coming from someone who takes speaking fees from nonprofits and used his donors' money to buy leather-bound copies of his own book. Not only is the Grammie Jean Foundation in complete compliance with the law, it has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to worthy causes, funded quietly by the Johnson family without any personal gain or desire for recognition." -- Brian Reisinger, Johnson for Senate communications director
