Scott: every conservative who cares

Image
Robert, Conservatives have a tough road ahead in 2016. We’re going up against the Big Government Labor Bosses, Hollywood liberals, and big-government cronies. While a lot of groups claim they help elect conservatives, none come close to the size, scope, and success of the Republican National Committee (RNC) –  the Official Committee in Charge of Taking Back the White House. Only the RNC has what it takes to fight the Obama-Clinton Machine head-on. But right now the RNC still has $40,000 to go to meet their November goal before the deadline TONIGHT at 11:59 p.m. On their behalf, I’m asking for your help, Robert. I know what we’re up against. The Big Government Labor Bosses hated our reforms for Wisconsin that took power away from the government and returned it to the people, and they launched an effort to recall me as governor in 2012. But the RNC stepped in to defend our conservative solutions for Wisconsin. They mobilized a grassroots effort to fight back against Big Labor. T...

Jeanne: a woman’s constitutional right to make her own health care decisions

Image
Robert – In less than three months, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could undermine  Roe v. Wade  and set women’s health back decades. If the Court rules the wrong way, it could force the only clinic in west Texas to close and open the floodgates for even more extreme anti-abortion regulations designed to keep women from accessing a legal medical procedure. Republicans have been chipping away at a woman’s constitutional right to make her own health care decisions for YEARS, but this case is the biggest threat to the right to choose we’ve ever faced.  We need to speak out together  now , before the Supreme Court guts abortion rights. I’m signing the Citizens Amicus Brief urging the Court to protect women’s rights. Can I count on you to stand with me? Tell the Supreme Court: Uphold  Roe v. Wade ! A woman’s health care decision is between her and her doctor, period. That essential right has come under fire before, and we’ve fought back ...

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Patrick: America and Israel share an unbreakable bond.

Image
Friends, When it comes to taking a position on any bill, Floridians know my promise: I will listen to them, I will listen to my conscience, and I will deeply study what’s on my desk before making a decision. The past few weeks, the proposal on my desk has been the nuclear deal with Iran. I have to say, this has been the toughest decision of my career in Congress. After listening to arguments on both sides, carefully reviewing all the materials, and soliciting answers from both supporters and opponents, I have reached a decision. A nuclear Iran would be an unacceptable threat to America and Israel. As a nation, we must always keep all options on the table. But before we place our Armed Forces in harm’s way, I feel I owe it to all Floridians -- especially our servicemembers -- to exhaust all other courses of action. The deal we have is flawed. But it is also the best available option to stop the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran. Make no mistake -- Iran will remain a foe of Am...

John Coady: Know More about Kay Hagan

Image
Robert, I knew quite a bit about Kay before I joined the campaign. At least I thought I did. You and I both know she’s a fierce advocate for improving education, supporting our veterans, servicemembers and their families, and ensuring that all North Carolinians have access to health care. But as I just learned over dinner with Kay and Chip, she’s full of surprises. Here are a couple of them: Did you know that Kay used to be a ballet dancer, or that when she was an intern at the Capitol in the ‘70s, she operated an elevator that took senators to and from the chamber? One dinner wasn’t enough to hear it all, which is why I’m coming to you.  I thought it would be fun to have you ask the questions, and Kay thought so too. Want to know more about Kay? Click here to submit your questions. She’ll answer as many as she can through a video that we’ll send around. Kay has some amazing stories.  What do you want to know about Kay?

Elizabeth: I’m grateful for my three older brothers

Image
Today, we gather across the country to thank our military personnel past and present. I’m grateful for my three older brothers, who all served. Too often, the day-to-day sacrifices of service members, veterans, and military families go unseen and unremarked. It’s time for meaningful action and policies that support our military and military families both during and after service — not just on Veterans Day, but every day. We can honor our veterans by ending these endless wars, reining in our bloated defense budget and reducing the influence of defense contractors at the Pentagon, and bringing our troops home responsibly — and then providing our veterans with the benefits they’ve earned. That’s why last week, I released my plan to support our service members, veterans, and military families — including protecting earned benefits, prioritizing family readiness, tackling military sexual assault, cutting veterans’ suicide in half in my first term, ensuring equal treatment for all w...

AmishPac: 6,700 letters out to potential Amish voters

Image
Friend -- It was just announced today that Trump will be visiting Lancaster County Pennsylvania on Saturday. Honestly, we have you, Friend, to thank. You made our billboard campaign possible. You made our newspaper ads possible. You helped us stir all kinds of media buzz, locally, nationally and even internationally. And it got the attention of the Trump campaign. We could not be more happy that Mr. Trump is visiting the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. You know that the stakes are high here. If Hillary wins Pennsylvania, she's the next president. And we know what that means... Hillary will get the opportunity to appoint 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices and dozens of federal judges. Religious liberty and the second amendment becomes fast-tracked towards extinction and tax-payer funded abortion gets the green light. Trump is the only one we can trust to fill his administration and judge appointments with solid conservatives. He's made Be...

Chuck: Senator Marco Rubio has taken a U-turn

Robert, It's official: Senator Marco Rubio has taken a U-turn and decided that he will run for the Senate once again in 2016. Throughout this past year, Senator Rubio has said time and time again that he had no interest in working for Florida residents in the Senate any longer. He promised over and over that he was done with Congress and that he wouldn't return. I have to say it -- I was ready to say goodbye to Senator Rubio. And since his announcement yesterday, I'm more confident than ever. Senator Rubio may have just decided he wants to represent Florida again, but he's going to meet his match in my friend Patrick Murphy. Since he was elected in 2012, Patrick's dedication to serving the people of Florida has never wavered, and I truly believe that if he takes Florida, we'll turn the Senate blue in 2016. That's why it's more important than  ever  to stop Senator Rubio in his tracks. If we give Patrick Murphy the resources he needs in Florida...

Borris: I continue the fight for criminal justice reform

Image
Recidivism is the rate in which ex-offenders relapse into criminal activities.  The National Statistic on Recidivsm shows that within 3 years of release 67.8% of released prisoners were re-arrested, and within 5 years of release the rearrest rate rose to 76.7%.  In the state of Texas, our recidivism rate is 22.6%. Incarceration weakens communities and tears apart families.   Unfortunately, many ex-offenders who served their time and have proven that they are ready to begin a new life find it extremely difficult to find a job or access to education because of their past.  By providing education to prisoners it makes them 43% less likely to repeat criminal acts.  As a sponsor of  HB 553 ,  we now have a task force set in place  to better assess and determine  certification programs,  i ndustry recognizable credentials , and  school credits  to inmates.  By supporting me today, we can tackle issue...
