Messina: the President wanted to talk to you directly.

Friend --

The President and congressional leaders reached an agreement last night to meet our financial obligations and reduce our deficit.

Please share this video with everyone you know.

Thanks,

Hillary Clinton Re: Renewed Hope

Image
  Dear Robert, We did it! In this incredible year, we have changed our politics, our country and our nation! And I could not be more proud or more grateful to you for sharing this journey with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you have done, for me, for Barack Obama , and for all our Democratic candidates, to make these successes possible. I know that President-Elect Barack Obama will lead our country in the new direction we need. And with the great success of our House and Senate candidates, we can make our agenda a reality. But make no mistake -- our work is not done! I will be doing everything I can in the Senate, working closely with the White House on the goals you and I set out. With President Obama and our strengthened majorities in Congress, we can get our economy back on track. We're going to make sure every man, woman, and child in America has health care. With smart, effective new policies, we will move toward energy inde...

Bernie: super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path

Image
Robert - I want to talk about what we did  last night : after starting in the polls in Wisconsin down more than 40 points, we finished the election with a HUGE margin of victory. We're also going to come away with a strong majority of the delegates. We are on the path to the Democratic nomination for president. But I want to be clear:  super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path in the New York primary. We very much expect an unbelievable amount of attacks and negativity over the  next two weeks .  But I also expect that if we all stand together, starting right now, we can come out of New York with another victory. That's why I have to ask you directly: Contribute $3 to our campaign to help us continue our momentum from Wisconsin with a victory in New York in less than two weeks. One of the first sentences I wrote to our supporters after we launched our campaign was something few people heeded: People should not underestimate us. T...

join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring

Image
    Friend, Virginia's statewide election this November represents a clear choice between continuing the progress we have made as a Commonwealth these last few years and turning the clock back to the disaster of Trumpism.  That's why I'm emailing you again today to ask you to join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring. Attorney General Herring has been on the front lines of defending the rights of Virginians. He helped lead the fight against the Trump administration's assault on the Affordable Care Act. He stood up to the NRA and championed common sense gun safety laws. And he's made sure the Attorney General's office is on the side of justice on issues including criminal justice reform, environmental protection, and the opioid crisis. I'm proud to support Mark Herring for re-election, but he's facing a tough re-election fight and needs our help. Will you make a donation today and join me in supporting Mark Herring? If you've saved your paym...

Michael Flynn posted a video of him and his family taking the QAnon oath

Image
  We didn’t see your name on our petition. Add your name if you agree Michael Flynn should be recalled to active duty and court martialed for his sedition. We’re counting on you to make your voice heard. SIGN THE PETITION Robert - Michael Flynn posted a video of him and his family taking the QAnon oath and encouraging others to do the same. I cannot think of anything more disrespectful and outrageous than a member of our military -- who swore an oath to defend our Constitution upon joining our armed forces -- pledging allegiance to QAnon instead. Yes, this is the same Michael Flynn who called for a violent overthrow of President Biden. In other words, sedition. And to be absolutely clear – that is a treason that our men and women in uniform would never ever countenance. I’m calling for Michael Flynn to be recalled to active duty and court martialed for his sedition. Do you agree with me? Add your name today to say you support court martialing Michael Flynn for his treason...

Obama Foundation : If you can see it, you can be it

  Hi Black Independent, Chicago Public Schools students headed back to the classroom this week, and with the start of the school year comes another year of the Futures Series! Since 2022, The Obama Foundation has partnered with Hyde Park Academy, the high school across the street from the future Obama Presidential Center, to introduce students to industry leaders and cultural icons who inspire them to achieve more than they thought possible.  Last school year,  Futures Series guests like investigative reporter Samantha Chapman, Jordan Brand CDO Jason Mayden, and Chicago Alderman Ronnie Mosley  shared their stories, and for students like Rayshawn Blackman, these moments were life-changing: See the full 2024-2025 line-up The 2024-2025 Futures Series gave Hyde Park Academy Students opportunities to get out of the classroom and into real-world workplaces: At O’Hare Airport, students toured an aircraft and spoke with representatives from across roles at United Airlines to...
