EMILY's List
Dear robert,
I've said it before: as the mother of two young boys, finding the right balance between work and family isn't easy. But we do it, we figure it out, because it's our children -- our nation's future -- that we're all fighting for every single day.

I see it all the time in the amazing women I'm honored to serve with in the U.S. Senate. All of us are working to make sure that our daughters and sons -- and the daughters and sons of all Americans -- have the opportunity to prosper just as we've been able to. We're making sure that the rights and protections that previous generations fought for and won are not rolled back. And we're fighting for their ability to live out the American dream.

This Mother's Day, I can't think of a better way to honor all the mothers in the country -- past and present -- than with a contribution to EMILY's List.They're the ones working tirelessly to elect the pro-choice Democratic women who are making sure that our freedoms are protected for generations to come.

So, this year, join me in commemorating Mother's Day with a contribution to EMILY's List to help elect the Democratic women who will continue to secure our rights.

This weekend, let's remember and honor all the women who've come before us -- women who've fought for equal pay, fought for education, fought for their children and ours. And let's remember and honor all the women continuing those fights today.

On Mother's Day, let's get women involved and make sure they know who is truly fighting for them – the pro-choice Democratic women EMILY's List is working each day to elect to office.

Make this Mother's Day extra special. Honor mothers around the country with a contribution to EMILY's List.

I'm so honored to have such strong women in my life, in my family and in my career. From this mother to all of you: Happy Mother's Day. Let's make it one to remember.

Sincerely,

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
