Madeleine K. Albright: I want you to experience the same southern hospitality that Charlotte has to offer

Dear robert l., Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Charlotte, North Carolina in my role as Chair of the National Democratic  Institute (NDI). Since 1984, NDI has organized an International Leaders Forum at every Democratic Convention, bringing hundreds of visitors from across the globe to the U.S. to observe our political process. After exploring the city and meeting local residents, it is easy to see why President Obama picked North Carolina to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention. I want you to experience the same southern hospitality that Charlotte has to offer. Whether you come as a delegate or as an observer, you should experience this city during the convention. If you give $5 or whatever you can right now, you will be automatically entered to win free airfare and accommodations for the week of the convention. You will be here on Labor Day for a Celebration of the Carolinas at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and in attendance at Bank of America stadium t...

Donna: How are you going to pay for it?

Image
robert, Medicare is a contract we have made with every person in this country since it was signed into law 50 years ago today. That if you work hard, do your part, then when you retire Medicare is there to have your back. Through the appointments, the check ups, the medications, and anything else you might need. But Republicans want to break that contract and put the healthcare of over 50 million Americans in danger.  They want to tell seniors we don’t have the money. Find your healthcare somewhere else. You know that security you were promised? Take a hike. Republicans are falling over themselves with new plans every day to phase out and cut Medicare. Tell them you’re ready to fight back. Add your name and join me in saying you will never let Republicans cut Medicare. Here’s the question they inevitably ask next: “How are you going to pay for it?” Ha! That’s easy. Pay for it with the billions of dollars that have been sent offshore. Pay for it with the subsid...

Team Trump Pence: Learn more about the creation of the Make America Great Again hat,

Image
Robert Louis, Two years ago this month Donald Trump pledged to  Make America Great Again , and a hat became the enduring symbol of a grassroots movement. As the campaign swept the nation, hundreds of Americans were put to work manufacturing the Make America Great Again (#MAGA) hats, all proudly made in the USA, and an American company near bankruptcy stayed in business. WATCH: LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HAT THAT DEFINED OUR MOVEMENT Learn more about the creation of the Make America Great Again hat, and how to make sure you have an authentic hat by watching our new video – #MAGA hats are always  100% Made in the USA.

President Trump has already begun to Make America Great Again! Don’t have a Make America Great Again hat yet? Not sure of a great Father’s Day or graduation gift?  Visi...

Bob: put an end to these unfair subsidies

Image
Robert, This makes my blood boil:  Each year, taxpayers spend BILLIONS of dollars subsidizing big oil and gas companies! These companies don’t need taxpayer dollars, period. In 2013 alone, the Big Five oil companies posted profits of $93 BILLION. But that didn’t stop the industry from lining its pockets with BILLIONS of your tax dollars that same year. No wonder the Big Five oil companies were able to pay their CEOs $125 million last year alone. What’s more, even as these often-negligent companies walk away with your hard-earned money, they pollute our air and water, hurting our families and damaging our environment! Remember the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? We need to put an end to these unfair subsidies.   Add your name: Tell Congress to stop unfair tax giveaways for Big Oil! The other sad thing is that these loopholes aren’t new. Some of them have been on the books for 100 years! Big Oil companies have had a century of taxpayer mo...

Nick: trickle-down economics looks more like Chicken Little Economics with every passing day.

An introductory note from Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor: If you've seen my film  Inequality for All  then you may recognize  Nick Hanauer . He's the Seattle-based entrepreneur who appeared in it to talk about the damage income inequality is doing to the middle class. Last year we joined together to ask Democracy for America members to call on President Obama and the Department of Labor to make more workers eligible for overtime. More than 73,000 of you signed that petition. Thanks to the leadership of organizations like the Center for American Progress and the Economic Policy Institute, as well as your activism with us through Democracy for America, President Obama announced last week that he will  direct the Department of Labor to expand the number of workers who can receive overtime pay. That's just the first step. Now we need to tell the Labor Department we support the proposed rules. Democracy for America, Nick, and I are joining forces to ask DFA mem...

Bernie: the American people cannot afford to wait for transformational change.

Image
Robert - I just left the stage at the final debate before 14 caucuses and primaries take place over the  next three weeks.  And the message I sent to those who have yet to vote is that the American people cannot afford to wait for transformational change. We’ve heard a lot of folks in the political establishment, and  tonight  on the stage, say that our ideas are too bold. That the best we can do right now is incremental change. But as my dear friend Senator Nina Turner has said,  "the future of our country is too important to go from yes we can to no we can’t." I think our campaign's message is why we left Iowa beating everyone’s expectations, won by huge margins in New Hampshire, and why we will do so well in the 14 contests over the  next three weeks.  But time is running out, and that’s why I have to ask you directly: Make a $3 contribution to our campaign tonight and we will win the Democratic primary, the White House, and take our co...

Team Newsom: Gov Newsom on Colbert

Image
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! Governor Newsom has received a lot of feedback on his recent social media posts on Twitter and TikTok. Democrats love it. Fox News cries about it relentlessly. But what they don't get is the irony of it all -- that it is putting a mirror up to the absurdity of Donald Trump. Watch this clip from Colbert last night. Thank you, Team Newsom
