Al: won't be easy

Dear Robert, What if there was a magic button that could overturn Citizens United , get the word “SuperPAC” out of our national vocabulary, and drive shady money out of our political system forever? Wouldn’t you push the heck out of that button? Me, too. But there’s no such button. All we can do is fight as hard as we can to limit the influence of big money -- and one important step we can take is passing the DISCLOSE Act, a bill that would force special interest groups to tell us who’s funding their political activities. There’s no button we can push to make the DISCLOSE Act law. But there is a link you can click: Click here to join us in calling on Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act now! In the end, what we really need is a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United once and for all. But that’s an uphill battle. And the DISCLOSE Act would be an important first step up that hill. Requiring that special interest groups reveal where they get thei...

United States Adjustment to ISIS

United States Adjustments to ISIS CJA/454 Robert L. Gilyard September 2, 2014 Gary Howard United States Adjustment to ISIS This paper is an analysis on ISIS terrorism and how the American criminal justice system can adapt to the rising trend of terror. Suggestions to change the situation, proposed changes, positive, and negative effect of the change examination. Explanation and proposed usage of criminal justice management support, financial, training, and human resources tools available to combat terrorism. Situation: ISIS ISIS is a new organization with origination from 2006’s Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The disbanding of Al-Qaeda organizations and other terror groups combined their resources and financial avenues into a new terror group called ISIS. They are not a new organization; it is a combination of the failed ones. The American media outlets are aiding in their emphasis on image terror. Using Bin Laden’s terror playbook and how he used video and random acts of terror du...

Chuy: Rahm cut the budget

Dear robert-- Two weeks ago, we asked Chicagoans to share their stories of real life under Rahm's administration. The response was overwhelming. Dozens and dozens of people told us about difficulties they've experienced due to failed policies and wrong priorities. Now, we are asking you to pick the story that should be made into a video. With the authors’ permission, we've selected three stories that reflect concerns common for many people: Pick a story and chip-in $10, $20, or more, to cover the costs of making a video and promoting it widely. If a story collects $5,000, we can proceed with production. Debra's story: Both of our two daughters are Special Ed kids and take buses to school. Our older daughter has severe cerebral palsy. If there is no bus aide, she is unable to ride the bus to school. Rahm cut the budget for both bus aides and classroom aides… Read the full story and then chip-in $10 to make it a video > Maribel...

Martin: The Truth Behind "Sanctuary" Cities

: Over a hundred years ago, the racist anti-immigrant cartoonist, Thomas Nast, did his best to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. The time was the 1880's. His cartoons portrayed the Irish as monkeys, Catholic Bishops as crocodiles climbing onto America's shores to eat up white Anglo-Saxon Protestant families, and hordes of lawless immigrants swarming off of boats to take up degenerate lives of crime in America's cities. Fast forward to the present. The Know-Nothing Party has finally taken the White House with Donald Trump's presidency. What is his top target where cities are concerned? Not infrastructure, bridges, jobs, schools, or restoring dwindling numbers of sworn officers on the streets, rather bringing "sanctuary cities under control" by cutting off any and all federal funding possible. If you are one of those Americans who works or lives in a metro area of the United States, you might scratch your head and ask: Wh...

fracking threatened my home and drinking water in upstate New York

Black, As someone who has been active in the fight against fracking for nine years, I know how much it takes to stop the oil and gas industry from polluting the land and communities we love. Since I first learned that fracking threatened my home and drinking water in upstate New York, I’ve been working with Food & Water Watch. I've joined with them because they understand the power of community organizing to win campaigns. Please donate to Food & Water Watch to help continue their work to ban fracking everywhere! Food & Water Watch was the first national organization to call for a ban on fracking, even when no one thought it was possible. They believe, as do I, that the power of people is unstoppable, and when we work together we can win. It takes a lot of work, but it can be done. In an age when many organizations focus most of their energy in online organizing, Food & Water Watch invests its time and energy into building up and w...

Michael: March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29

Robert l., The March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29 is an opportunity for us to show solidarity with each other in the fight for a clean environment and fair economy. Too often, those seeking to block our progress try to pit jobs against safe workplaces and a clean environment. We know that’s a false choice. We know we can have economic prosperity, environmental justice and equity for all people if we take the right actions now to address climate change, reduce income inequality, fight for racial justice, and safeguard the rights of all people. We’re going to the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice to show our support for taking action on climate and creating and sustaining good jobs by doing so. Join us at the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice. Union members, environmentalists, people of faith and community leaders will be there to show the solidarity that exists between all of us to have both a strong, fair ...

Kirsten: Im ready to fight the Trump Country club Cabinet

Robert, I believe public servants should place the needs of others above partisan ideology and corporate profits. I have never seen anything like the extremism and disdain for working Americans shown by many of President Trump's Cabinet nominees. They are determined to shutter public schools, cut Medicaid and Social Security, silence climate scientists and rip health care from tens of millions of Americans. I’m fighting back every day in the Senate. But as I take on President Trump’s country club Cabinet, I need to hear your priorities. What is most important to you as the Senate considers these nominations? Protecting our students? Addressing climate change? Defending health care? Click here to share your concerns in a short survey. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Kirsten This email was sent to bondfilesinc@yahoo.com.

Jeff: We need Bill

Robert, If we take control of the Senate, we can block terrible right-wing judges and do serious investigations of the rampant corruption and possible collusion by the Trump team. But to take the Senate, we are going to have to win some tough races. Join me in supporting my friend and fellow Democrat, Florida U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. Bill's facing one of the worst candidates Florida has ever put on the ballot (and that's saying something!). Chip in $3 to support Senator Bill Nelson's re-election campaign. We need Bill Nelson in the Senate. And what we most certainly do not need is his opponent, Rick Scott, a right-wing, Trump-loving opportunist. Bill Nelson is a stalwart supporter of environmental protections, and clean air and water. Rick Scott is wrong on the environment. He backed oil drilling in the Everglades. Bill Nelson voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act. Rick Scott is a vocal critic of President Obama's signature health car...

Tom Harkin: support for Rep. Markey today.

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...

Jeanne: I’ll be straight with you

I’ll be straight with you, robert. The most important race happening in 2020 isn’t the race for president – it’s the race for control of the Senate. The party that wins the Senate will decide the future of health care, voting rights, even the Supreme Court. And everyone from FiveThirtyEight to Roll Call is now saying that Democrats cannot regain the Senate majority if we lose in New Hampshire. That’s why Republicans are coming after me in a big way – with GOP groups spending more money to defeat me than all the other in-cycle Democratic senators combined . Now, after Mitch McConnell’s right-wing group just launched their first round of attack ads against us, we’ve got to raise another $7,000 before midnight tonight to fight back and protect our chance to take back the Senate. But, robert, we just can’t do it without your donation right now. If we lose this race, we cannot take back the Senate for Democrats – plain and simple. And we cannot win...

Mark: out of state billionaires

Robert, We had another strong performance at the debate tonight in Fayetteville. Once again, we showed where Tom Cotton's priorities lie: With the out-of-state billionaires bankrolling his campaign. This year, his backers have spent over $20 million trying to buy this election. Why? Because they know they can count on Tom Cotton. That's the difference in this race. I listen to you and he listens to the billlionaires. But we can't rest on our laurels with tonight's victory. I need you to commit vote, and I need you to commit to vote early. The polls show this race is a dead heat, and we'll need a strong turnout to ensure victory. Click here to commit to vote. Thank you so much for your support. Now let's go win this thing. Mark Pryor

the most competitive governor's races in the country

Black Independent party, Your support has always meant so much to me. From my time in the state legislature to my time in the governor's office and everything in between, your support is crucial. I know you received a lot of emails over the last week, but I wanted to say: Thank you. This month, we saw a surge in donations, and because of you, we not only hit our July fundraising goal, we surpassed it. While we take a moment to celebrate our good news, we have to remain focused on our goals. I'm afraid our opponents will attack us even harder if we step off the gas now. So this month, it's even more important that we keep our eyes on the road ahead and hit every single goal we set. Black Independent party, this re-election campaign is only beginning. Our race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive governor's races in the country, and it's going to stay that way until the end. We're hyper-focused on starting this month on the right foot. Will you help ...

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

robert - Since we started our campaign to elevate the voices of veterans who support a diplomacy-first approach with Iran, over 20,000 men and women who have worn our country's uniform have added their names in support. Today, I want to share a few of their stories with you, and to let you know that in the next few weeks, we're going to be flying almost two dozen veterans and military family members out the nation's capital to make their voices heard loud and clear. Contribute $3 to help VoteVets bring these veterans to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Democratic representatives we need to hold the line ahead of the vote on the Iran deal later this month. Dennis, an Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran (Afghanistan) wrote in that "The alternative is an eventual war, again, in the Middle East." Matt, an Iraq War Veteran from Colorado added, "Based on my experience in Iraq, I feel that diplomacy is a better path than military action in southwest Asia ... Vo...

There’s no other way to say it. Today is a big day.

It’s the day we officially celebrate breaking ground on the Obama Presidential Center. And we wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of people like you—people who donated, volunteered, shared stories, and supported our vision all along the way. Of course, our work has never been just about a building. We are dedicated to helping community leaders develop the skills they need and build the relationships that will empower them to change the world. That’s why President and Mrs. Obama took a moment yesterday, as part of our groundbreaking celebrations, to sit down with the latest cohort of Obama Foundation Scholars from the University of Chicago. This inspiring group is working to increase diversity in Chicago’s technology sector, support women entrepreneurs in India, promote arts education that revitalizes neighborhoods, and much more. We’re just getting started. There are wonderful things in store for the Obama Presidential Center and the young leaders it will s...

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration

commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. T he oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19 th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger , landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free . Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863 . The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order . However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865 , and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. Later attempts to explain this two...

Michelle: I have seen up close what it means to be president

Friend -- I just left the stage at the Democratic National Convention, where I spoke about why I believe Hillary Clinton should be president. It was truly an honor to speak on her behalf. She is a devoted public servant, a passionate advocate for children and families, and a strong, experienced leader whom I trust with the overwhelming responsibilities of the presidency. And I am proud of the history she will make -- and the example she will set for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters -- as she breaks that highest, hardest glass ceiling. But that will only happen if every single one of us does everything we can between now and November to support Hillary. Now that she’s the nominee and we know who she’s up against, none of us can sit on the sidelines. Chip in right now. I have seen up close what it means to be president -- how you live every moment on a knife’s edge, dealing with the most complex, consequential issues imaginable. We need a leader with the ...

Patrick: America and Israel share an unbreakable bond.

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...
