Ben: Candy and I first met at Yale.

robert, Candy and I celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Monday. It has been an amazing forty years. We celebrated it in Nashua, NH while we were on our New Hampshire campaign swing this week. A massive crowd of 650 gathered with us Monday night to hear our friend Tony Orlando sing some of his classic songs. The only thing larger than the crowd was the cake -- it was huge. Our whole event was covered by New Hampshire's WMUR , and you can see their great story on it below. Candy and I first met at Yale. We are both from Detroit but Yale brought us together. We could never have predicted the course of our journey through life. I can tell you we never expected to be on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. I've spent my whole life tending to children. Children are the mission of our foundation. My entire campaign is about rebuilding the American Dream for all of our children and grandchildren. I'm running for President of the United States because of our ded...

Jon: Let it go to waste

robert - President Obama is right: many of the same voices urging the United States to reject the deal with Iran in favor of a military approach were some of the loudest voices in favor of war with Iraq. Congress is home for recess now, and we need to make sure they hear your voice before returning to D.C. to take a vote. So far over 100,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters have taken action on this issue - add your name to theirs today: Tell Congress: vote for the negotiated deal that is our best chance to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon The vote can go either way at this point so every Representative and every Senator that comes out in favor of the deal is a major victory. We have a very unique voice in this debate. It'd be a real shame to let it go to waste. Thanks for adding your name, Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran and Chairman VoteVets

Kshama: Obama ignores us. Mr. Trump Go around the reservations.

Historic Victory at Standing Rock Calls for Celebration and Vigilance For the last eight months, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has led a historic campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), uniting hundreds of tribes, environmentalists, veterans and other activists inspired by their bold stand in defense of native treaty rights and the environment. On Sunday, millions of people around the world celebrated news that the Army Corps of Engineers had rejected an easement to allow DAPL to go forward. This was an enormous victory for the movement and for ordinary people everywhere in the struggle against Big Oil and naked corporate greed. I congratulate and thank these courageous indigenous people and all others who rallied behind their cause, including the veteran activists who came to strengthen the camp in the days preceding the Army Corps’ ruling. It is these thousands of ordinary people, not the Obama Administration, who deserve praise for this victor...

Dr. John: the United States became the first country to reach Pluto

This morning, the United States became the first country to reach Pluto -- and the first country to explore the entire classical solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. NASA's New Horizons interplanetary probe has been making its way to Pluto since January 19, 2006, and has been providing the world with the sharpest photos ever seen of our Solar System's most prominent "dwarf planet." Today, it made its closest approach to Pluto yet -- about 8,000 miles -- at around 07:49:57 EDT. Here's the photo they took -- which, despite traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), took four and a half hours to reach us here on Earth as it crossed the 3 billion miles between here and Pluto: That we were able to get so close to Pluto today is a feat whose probability scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson likened to "a hole-in-one on a two-mile golf shot." He's right. Every once in a while, a photo comes ...

vast resources to buy influence in elections.

“They're using our members, and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous.” -- Speaker John Boehner, 12/11/2013 Robert, The "they" Speaker Boehner was talking about are special interest groups like Americans for Prosperity. He was referencing their attempts to manipulate legislation, but we all know what these groups are best at -- using their vast resources to buy influence in elections. The Koch brothers. Karl Rove. Since Citizens United , these guys have become household names. Combined, their affiliated special interest groups spent more than $212 million in the 2012 elections -- and they've already got a decent start on the 2014 elections, too. We need a dedicated, concerted effort if we're going to end the effects of Citizens United . When my friend Russ Feingold started Progressives United with the purpose of fighting back against outsid...

Stephanie Schriock: he's taking aim at Roe v. Wade.

robert, It makes me so angry I could scream: North Dakota. Arkansas. Virginia. Kansas. It only took three months of the new year for right-wing extremists in these states to launch an unprecedented set of attacks on women's rights. Just yesterday, the Governor of North Dakota signed into law the country's most severe restrictions on a woman's right to choose -- and brazenly admitted that he's taking aim at Roe v. Wade. We can't sit by and watch it happen. I'll fight until I can't stand up anymore. But I need you glued to my side. The War on Women is here, it's as dangerous as ever, and EMILY's List is suiting up to fight back. Contribute immediately to the EMILY's List Rapid Response Fund and help hold the GOP accountable for its renewed War on Women. All gifts before midnight on March 31 will be matched 2-to-1! How do we fight back? We send a message to the men recklessly making these laws. We show them just how dedicated we are to wome...

I urge everyone to get the vaccine if you need or want it.

Robert, The left has gone completely COVID crazy. They want government-enforced shutdowns, mask mandates, school closures, forced vaccines, and now they're talking about a COVID vaccine passport. It's absolutely unconstitutional - not to mention, it's absurd. I AGREE: CHIP IN NOW TO STAND UP>> A Democrat politician famously said, “never let a crisis go to waste.” Boy, did this pandemic really see them put their shoulder into that old axiom. Throughout the COVID crisis, these radicals have embraced theatrics, abandoned science, and the longer it goes on, the more they double down. The newest power grab comes in the form of an alleged “Vaccine Passport” which would determine whether or not you’re “ALLOWED” to engage in your everyday life. Want to go to the store? Show your vaccine card. Want to go to a restaurant or concert? Did you tell the government what vaccines you’ve had? Want to travel? VACCINE ...

Barack Obama

Black Independent—I was so touched by how many of you helped celebrate my birthday and our shared work to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation to change their world. Time and again, this community has shown just how powerful it can be when people come together for something bigger than themselves. And today was a perfect example. Reading your card submissions and messages of support for The Obama Foundation’s work was a highlight of my day. And I also loved seeing your generous birthday gifts supporting our programs. Your name on my birthday card and your support for The Obama Foundation means so much— thank you. I’m more energized than ever to keep supporting and connecting the next generation of leaders. Here are a few of the notes that made it such a special day. “ Happy, happy birthday, Mr. President! Thank you for the important work you continue to do. You are a shining example of wisdom, kindness, and integrity. Enjoy your day with Michelle and your girls!” — Ka...

Our Revolution: We have the power to change the way our political system works

Robert - The single most important thing you can do today is get to the polls and cast your vote. If you still need to cast your ballot in this election, look up your polling place right now: FIND MY POLLING LOCATION » If you've already voted and want to help get out the vote for the candidates who will fight for the ideals of our political revolution, you can make calls: MAKE CALLS TO GET OUT THE VOTE » By getting out the vote during the final hours of this election, we will help elect candidates who are prepared to take our fight to Congress, statehouses and communities across the country. And that means we'll have progressive allies in government who will stand with our movement on issues like income inequality, climate change, and getting big money out of politics. We have the power to change the way our political system works and make it once again responsive to the needs of the people, not just the wealthy few. The most important way we can exercise that ...

Bernie: Midnight Madness starts Now!

As the clock ticks toward midnight, we’re pretty close to reaching a pair of milestones we frankly didn’t think would be possible on day one. First, we’re just short of 350,000 signatures from people saying they support Bernie’s campaign for president. That’s 35% percent of the way to goal. You’re one of them, Robert. Amazing. Thank you. But what we didn’t expect is that more than 140,000 people would donate as well. Reaching 150,000 donations before midnight would send a pretty powerful message about the strength of our movement. If you are able to chip in $3, we’re going to do it! And we’re so close it could be your contribution that gets us there. Use this link: https://act.berniesanders.com/go/support-our-campaign Thanks for making day one such a success. In solidarity, Team Bernie Paid for by Bernie 2020 PO BOX 391, Burlington, VT 05402 This email was sent to bondfilesinc@yahoo.com. If you need to, unsubscribe using this link . But we hope you...

Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice

Dear Robert, We are witnessing the beginning of a historic movement. People are peacefully taking to the streets with calls for justice for the Black lives lost at the hands of law enforcement. They are demanding accountability and reform in order to address the systemic racism in our society. I’m determined to operate my campaign with the same level of accountability and transparency that we are seeking in our systems. That’s why we’re making a pledge to fight for racial justice. As a Black woman in elected office, race has been at the forefront of everything I’ve done. I owe it to myself, my family, and my community to make sure that my campaign is representative, equitable, and empowering the Black community. These are not simply performative words. Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice and learn more about how you can help . There is a deep need to address racial equity in politics and we are creating actionable items that will he...

Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel

FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel -The Associated Press “President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals,” Deb Riechmann and Matthew Lee report. “Sudan had demonstrated its commitment in battling terrorism. ‘This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan,’” President Trump said. 🎬 BREAKING : Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace! Tech Censorship Is on a Dangerous Path -The Daily Signal “The titans of social media, [Jack] Dorsey at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, lead their companies the way China does. These men want to control what the public sees, which enables them to better monitor and, ultimately, influence every aspect of society and life,” Armstrong Williams writes. “It is hard to imagine a more insidious effort to subvert freedom of speech, ex...

Jenny Beth Martin: We’re not going to simply sit in Washington

Dear Patriot, Just a few days ago, we announced our grassroots-powered , boots-on-the-ground strategy to defeat big government incumbents all over America this year. And we are on the cusp of unveiling our list of endorsed Tea Party candidates for 2014. But before we can do that, we need your support to secure the funding that will push these candidates to victory! Please, make your very best contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford to the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund right now, and help us gear up for this year’s critical battles in Kentucky, South Carolina, and elsewhere. You see, as we announced earlier this week, the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is already huddling with activists on the ground in South Carolina , looking for an alternative to big-spending establishment Republican Lindsey Graham . And in Kentucky , we are already coordinating with local Tea Party activists who have lost faith in the weak-kneed R...

Jeanne: one of the most endangered Democratic senators

Robert – Just days after CNBC ranked me as one of the most endangered Democratic senators in the entire country, Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee called me one of their top targets in the 2020 election. They know that passing their extremist agenda – from rolling back health care access to attacking women's rights – hinges on flipping New Hampshire from blue to red. So they're going to do whatever it takes to defeat me. That's why this is so incredible: To help us fight back and defend New Hampshire's Senate seat, a generous group of donors just offered to DOUBLE every donation we receive until midnight. This is the first match opportunity we've had this campaign, and we don't know when – or if – another will come around again, so I'm counting on you to donate immediately to help us protect this seat and take back the Senate: Please, rush $5 or more now before our midnight deadline and have it DOUBLED to pro...

Please bless the soldier who has passed from our midst, but never ever from our hearts. Amen

Dear Black Independent, Americans have taken a turn over the last few years from mindless to mindful celebration of our holidays. On Memorial Day, we do not distract ourselves from the deeper meaning of the day, but rather allow ourselves to take in the full weight of its significance. On this day every year, we remember those who throughout our history have lost their lives serving in the US military. For centuries, since our earliest beginnings, there have been those who lay down their lives for this country. Some of them are remembered for who they were while they were alive, while some have names and lives that have been lost and forgotten, buried beneath the sands of time. On this Memorial day, we remember them all. In our hearts, we honor them and thank them. We stop to consider the blessing of our many liberties, and those who died in an effort to protect them. May their souls receive our gratitude, and the blessing of the prayers that we say for them this ...
