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...

Chris: The grassroots is fired up

Image
Robert, As Political Director, it's my role to train future grassroots leaders, engage communities and help our volunteers. The RNC is building the largest, earliest and most data focused field program in GOP history.

Mia: America needs leaders

Image
Mia sits down with Bryan Schott of UtahPolicy.com to discuss the 2014 campaign Mia's Message With the federal government's finances in disarray and the economy hurting, America needs leaders who know how to put a budget together while generating economic growth. From January 2010 through January 2014, I served as the mayor of Saratoga Springs—one of the fastest growing cities in Utah. During my mayoral term, I pursued an agenda focused on reducing city spending, promoting economic growth, and implementing sound fiscal policies. I have experience with balancing budgets and creating a business-friendly environment. Despite the recent economic downturn, my city continues to hold the highest bond rating possible for a city of its size. We were also recently named #1 in Utah for livability. In recent years, Saratoga Springs has received numerous prestigious budgetary awards. For the past three years, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) h...

Guy Cecil: Republicans are dead wrong on this

Image
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are pushing the Blunt Amendment, a radical piece of legislation that would cannibalize health care reform by letting any employer deny any part of your heath care coverage due to “moral convictions.” Robert, this goes way beyond taking away birth control coverage. An employer could decide that they couldn’t shell out the money necessary for your expensive cancer treatment because of their "moral convictions," and you’d be out of luck. Their goal isn’t just to end contraception coverage. Their goal is to implode our entire health care system and strike a deadly blow to President Obama’s historic health care reform. Republicans are going to try to bring this to a vote as early as today. Before the vote, I need you and 49,999 other people who value health care reform to take a strong stand against the Blunt Amendment. Sign our petition, and stand strong against the Blunt Amendment. Employers shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose our h...

Josh: (NRSC) has launched attacks

Image
Friend -- The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has launched attacks against Patrick. A year and two months out, and the smear campaign has already begun. The NRSC is trying to tear Patrick down  right now   -- and we need to fight back. Hitting our $25,000 goal just went from “high priority” to “absolutely essential.” We’ve only got 5 more days to do it. Rush in your contribution right now. You know why these attacks are coming so early? Because the NRSC (and groups like them) are scared. Patrick has the record to beat whichever of their hand-picked candidates comes out of the primary circus in Florida. The earlier Republicans tarnish his record, the better off they’ll be. Or at least, that’s what they think.  But they’re forgetting about you, folks. We’re going to fight fire with fire here.  We’re going to reach our $25,000 goal in the next 5 days and fight against the attacks and smears.  Let’s show them that Team Murphy means business. Giv...
