Mikie Sherrill : Here's the Deal

Image
  Hey, I know my team and I have been emailing you a lot recently asking for your support. But I wanted to take a second to explain why your support matters in this crucial race. Not only is my opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, endorsed by Donald Trump – he’s also a faithful advocate for the most disastrous elements of Trump’s agenda, and wants to implement them here in New Jersey. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Republican price hike bill that will throw hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans off their health care. And now, Ciattarelli’s being supported by a MAGA super PAC that’s pouring  millions of dollars  into negative ads that make one false assertion after another about my record and my character. In a race this close and with the stakes this high, we need to have the resources to be able to fight back, and we can only do that with your support. Can you split $10 (or whatever you can) between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project so we can stop our ...

Chris: Why I filibustered

Image
Why I filibustered for gun violence prevention Friend --  I was the Congressman from Newtown, Connecticut when tragedy struck Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012. As long as I live, I’ll never forget the scene at the firehouse when twenty-six families were told they would not be reunited with their children and loved ones.  For years, Congress has failed those families and the victims of gun violence all across the country.  That is why yesterday, starting at 11:21 a.m., I decided to stand on the Senate floor and talk for as long as I could about the need to prevent gun violence. And with the help of more than 30 of my colleagues, we demanded immediate action to make our communities safer from gun violence:  I can tell you that as the hours progressed, my colleagues heard your calls for change grow louder and louder. And after almost fifteen hours of filibustering, I was proud to be able to announce that Republicans had agreed to our demand for ...

Tom Harkin: support for Rep. Markey today.

Image
Dear Robert, Together you and I have made tremendous progress in raising awareness about the proposed cuts to Social Security known as the "chained CPI." I'm so proud of what we've accomplished, and I know that we will keep working to hold the line in the weeks and months to come. But right now, we have a major opportunity to make that firewall even stronger. We need to make sure Ed Markey joins me in the Senate by winning the Massachusetts special election in less than two weeks. Rep. Markey firmly opposes the chained CPI, and will stand with me to fight Social Security cuts that only serve to weaken the middle class.  He is the kind of proven progressive we need more of in the Senate, and I hope you'll join me in supporting his campaign today. Will you join me now and make an urgent contribution to Ed Markey's campaign? Ed's opponent, Gabriel Gomez, has vocally supported the chained CPI and believes we need to slash taxes even further f...

Elizabeth: Wisconsin voters will have their say

Image
Robert -- Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't the only Republican suggesting that the Senate should spend the next year blocking President Obama's Supreme Court nominee. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has been in lockstep with McConnell from the start. Thankfully, Wisconsin voters will have their say this No‌vember when Senator Johnson and Russ Feingold are on the ballot. If Senator Johnson won't do his job, it's time to replace him. I'm committed to doing everything I can to help Russ win in November. Will you join me? Join me. Make a $5 contribution to Russ Feingold's grassroots campaign right now. Or, if your payment information is saved with ActBlue, click below and your contribution will go through immediately: $5 »   $25 » $100 »   Other » Senator Johnson and Leader McConnell are calculating that if a Republican wins the White House and they keep the Republican majority in the Senate, they can fill the vacant seat with ano...

Alice: we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels

Image
Dear Black Independenty,   Today, we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels. As Ted Cruz  said this morning :         “Today radical Islamic terrorists targeted the men and women of Brussels as they went to work on a spring morning. In a series of coordinated attacks they murdered and maimed dozens of innocent commuters at subway stations and travelers at the airport.   “For the terrorists, the identities of the victims were irrelevant. They –we—are all part of an intolerable culture that they have vowed to destroy.   “For years, the west has tried to deny this enemy exists out of a combination of political correctness and fear. We can no longer afford either.   “The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.”   Best,   Alice Stewart Com...

Katie: We did it

Image
We did it, friend! Over the past nine months, we worked together to build our grassroots campaign from the ground up. Our volunteers pounded the pavement to talk to voters, our staff put in long hours and late nights, and we fought for every last vote. Our grassroots donors chipped in $5 here and $10 there to make sure we had the resources to compete. And your hard work paid off, big time. I'm proud to be Pennsylvania's Democratic nominee to take on -- and beat -- Pat Toomey this November. Pennsylvanians deserve a champion who will fight on behalf of families to make college more affordable, to raise the minimum wage, and to make sure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. Friend, we've got a long, hard road ahead -- but our victory today proves that this grassroots team has what it takes to pull together and win. I'll be calling on you for your support soon enough. But right now, I just want to say thank you. I mean it when I say I couldn't ...

James Carville Backwards tattoo

Image
Dear Robert, FEC deadline is midnight, and here’s a number to ponder: 90%. It’s so important, you should tattoo it backwards on your forehead so you read it every time you brush your teeth: 90% of donations to Karl Rove’s American Crossroads this year came from 3 billionaire donors bent on destroying President Obama. 90% of donations to the DSCC come from grassroots supporters. American Crossroads has 3 important donors. The DSCC’s got half a million. And every one of those donors needs to give by midnight if we’re going to defend our 4-seat majority. Your decision right now – whether to click or not – determines whether we have the money to invest in key races. If we meet our goals, we can hold the Senate and stop their sick Republican agenda. But if Rove wins, you got Big Oil writing energy policy, Big Insurance handling your health care, and you can kiss Medicare goodbye. Your choice, folks. You know what you need to do.

Chuck: help us amplify Sheldon's 100th call for action

Image
Robert, How many times have you stood up for a single issue you believed in? Would you tell your colleagues about it 10, 20, or even 50 times? Would you make it the one of the central causes of your life's work? Well --  Senator Sheldon Whitehouse just gave his 100th speech on climate change on the floor of the Senate. In recognition of Sheldon's accomplishment, I'm joining with my colleagues, Senators Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Al Franken, and Tammy Baldwin, as well as leading environmental groups, to commend Sheldon and recognize his remarkable dedication to our future and our environment -- but also to call for real, meaningful Senate action on climate change on the occasion of his 100th speech. Join me, my Senate colleagues, and a coalition of environmental groups as we stand with Sheldon today and join his call for the Senate to wake up to climate change and take swift action to curb carbon pollution now. I've watched Sheldon...
