Bob: 22 million

Image
Robert, The Big-Oil Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity Super PAC has already spent $22 million this cycle. They’re desperate to take the Senate from Democrats, and three men named Mark are standing in their path. If we’re going to keep the Senate, these are the three men we have to stand beside for reelection. And fast – before the critical March 31 FEC deadline. Senator Mark Warner’s opponent? A political operative for George W. Bush and co-founder of American Crossroads with Karl Rove.  We need to keep Rove and his allies far away from the Senate by supporting Mark now. Senator Mark Udall’s opponent voted to speed up deportations for young students and supported – twice – legislation restricting women’s rights and defining fertilized eggs as people.  With the Republicans in control of the Senate, say goodbye to immigration reform. Help reelect Sen. Udall! Senator Mark Begich is fighting back against the Kochs’ Americans for Prosperity. But right now, they’re...

Robynne: demanding that Congress pass the Three-State Strategy Bill

Image
I helped found a women's rights club at my middle school, and now my classmates and I are standing up for equality. Sign our petition asking Congress to pass a bill that will help ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Sign Robynne’s petition   National Black – My parents have always taught me that I can be whatever I want when I grow up, but recently I learned something shocking in a class at my middle school: according to our Constitution, women do not have equal rights to men under the law. When my friends and I learned this in our “Girls in Government, Leadership, and Service" club, we were heartbroken. We had no idea that after all this time, the laws in our country still don’t give us the same protection as our brothers and male peers. When we grow up, we want to have the same opportunities as men, get paid the same for the work we do, and be treated equally in society. Luckily, there is a proposed amendment to our Constitution...

IJ scores a restraining order against an $85 million government cash grab

  IJ won an early and important victory for property owners this week when a California federal judge issued a difficult to obtain temporary restraining order preventing the government’s   shameless theft   of our clients’ life savings.   Please   join IJ with a donation today   and help us challenge—and end—even more outrageous abuses of government power. The government’s cash grab started in March. The FBI raided the Beverly Hills company U.S. Private Vaults, where property owners from across southern California store their cash, jewelry, and other valuables in safe deposit boxes. Although the FBI suspected the company of wrongdoing, it had no reason to suspect any individual box holder of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, agents broke into every box and seized their contents. Then, after a delay of several months, the government moved to take over $85 million in cash (and millions more in precious metals, jewelry, and other property) using civil forfeiture. Prac...

Bob: A Real Shot

Image
Robert, There are many election forecasts out there, but they are all saying the same thing:  the battle for the Senate is going to be incredibly close. That means protecting our Democratic majority will come down to taking full advantage of every single opportunity that presents itself. Thankfully, in Kentucky and Georgia, we have two amazing pickup opportunities in the candidacies of Alison Lundergan Grimes and Michelle Nunn. We would end the GOP’s dream of taking control of the Senate if we win these two seats. I told Alison and Michelle that together we could raise $10,000 for them before the huge, public financial filing deadline at midnight on June 30. The pundits will be watching their numbers closely to see how they stack up with their opponents. Will you help make sure we come through for them and protect our majority? Contribute $5 or more directly to Alison Lundergan Grimes and Michelle Nunn and help protect our Democratic Senate majority. Both of the...

Jill: The “Sopranos” state’s 2-party mafia

Image
Dear Friend, I’m just back from the Green Party Annual National Meeting in Newark, NJ, where I endorsed powerhouse Seth Kaper-Dale in his run for Governor.  As one of only two governor races this year, Seth's run in  2017’s biggest election  is a breakthrough moment for Greens everywhere.  The “Sopranos” state’s 2-party mafia is strong-arming Seth into raising $430,000 by August 31st in order to get in to the debates and to receive matching funds. That’s more than four times the $100,000 I had to raise to qualify for federal matching funds in my run for president! It's no wonder they're trying to keep Seth's formidable voice out of the debates. If this giant of social justice is heard, politics will never be the same - and not just in New Jersey. Here's the good news.  We have the power to break their debate blockade by supporting this transformative candidate now . If we can get Seth in to the debates, we Greens can win this high visibility rac...

Mark Pryor: This is a promise we need to keep.

Image
Robert, America was built on a promise that with honest, hard work comes a chance to earn a decent living and support our families. This is a promise we need to keep. That’s why I’m supporting the ballot initiative to raise Arkansas’ minimum wage to $8.50 an hour. It has been more than seven years since the state minimum wage was raised – years that included the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, even as the cost of living continued to climb. Raising the minimum wage is simply the right thing to do.  I’m proud to be working with Give Arkansas a Raise Now, the interfaith alliance spearheading this effort, but we need you with us. Will you add your voice to ours and sign the petition supporting this critical issue? Click here to show your support for giving Arkansas a raise. Stand with the hundreds of thousands of Arkansas families who work hard and deserve a fighting chance at the American Dream. No Arkansan should be forced to choose between feed...

Colleen: a grand jury has indicted two of the videos’ creators.

Image
Friend, Republicans can’t resist putting women’s private medical decisions front-and-center in our national discourse. So when they saw a deceptively edited Planned Parenthood video last September, we all could have predicted what would happen. Republicans used those videos to justify attempts to withhold Planned Parenthood’s funding and tie up budget talks.  They almost brought our government to a screeching halt. Now, after clearing Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing,  a grand jury has indicted two of the videos’ creators. They’re facing misdemeanor and felony charges. I’m fighting to get to Congress to protect women’s access to healthcare against extremists who will stop at nothing to take it away. Can you help me get there by giving $5 or $10? The video creators were part of a right-wing, anti-choice group that spent years concocting an elaborate scheme -- complete with a fake company, fake IDs, and fake stories to bait Planned Parenthood employees. Needless to say, ...

Yang’s candidacy has a lot in common with . . . Donald Trump

Image
Friend -- Our efforts are working, but we need your help to keep growing.  We need you to donate $20 to post a big number for May so Andrew can meet his goal by the end of June. More and more members of the media are catching on to the movement we are building. Our New York rally drew reporters from outlets including Fox, CNN, and ABC. P olitico , one of the biggest publications in politics, just published a major profile on Andrew, asking, “Is Andrew Yang for real?” Some highlights from the article:   Yang’s candidacy has a lot in common with . . . Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left. He is offering what may be the single most specific diagnosis of the problem at the heart of the American economy. He can talk in vivid detail about specific, scary, looming problems. He comes across as a problem solver. The reporter followed the campaign in South Carolina, where Andrew was polling at 2% ahead of his first trip to the state. That...

Imagine – Labor Day in the United States with no labor law

Image
Imagine – Labor Day in the United States with no labor law. That’s what we’re facing unless we take action, Robert L.. The Senate must confirm Gina McCarthy to run the Environmental Protection Agency, Thomas Perez to run the Department of Labor, and all five of President Obama’s nominees to the National Labor Relations Board. If they do not, then 80 million workers will lose the protection of the law, and all of us run the risk of dirtier air and water — all thanks to Republican obstruction in the Senate. We can’t let that happen. Write to your Senators today to insist that they confirm the President’s nominees to the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Labor and National Labor Relations Board. Outdated Senate procedures have made it virtually impossible for the Senate to confirm President Obama's agency and judicial nominees. But Democrats hold the majority in t...
