Subject: Before I take the stage

Friend --

Before I go on stage to accept the nomination, there's one thing I need to say: Thank you.

It's because you've got my back that I'm here. And if we win this, it will be because of you, too.

Can you pitch in $3 or more right now?

I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Barack

P.S. -- This is my last campaign, and knowing you're with me means everything. I can't do this without you.

Dear friend, Yesterday, I visited Jackson Park, the future home of the Obama Presidential Center, and surprised some of the Center’s future neighbors.  Take a look. We can’t wait to bring this Center to the South Side. For Michelle and me, this project is about more than building a gathering space and museum—it’s an opportunity to bring jobs, investment, and economic opportunity to a neighborhood that’s given us so much.  But we also know that to be successful, this project needs to not just be for the community, it must be built in partnership with the community.    That’s why, this week, I spent time with local business owners at South Shore Brew coffee shop and got to hear from them directly about their hopes for the Center.  I also stopped by the Wolfpack youth football team’s practice and talked to some of the kids who use Jackson Park every day. I came away certain that by working together, we can build a space that will act as an economic catalyst for the...

Rep. John Lewis embodied that mission throughout his eighty years,

Image
Hi there,   Late last night, the world lost a legend. In the  statement  President Obama released in light of the heartbreaking news of Representative John Lewis’ passing, he describes an inspiring conversation they had after their last public appearance together: “It’s fitting that the last time John and I shared a public forum was at a virtual town hall with a gathering of young activists who were helping to lead this summer’s demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Afterwards, I spoke to him privately, and he could not have been prouder of their efforts—of a new generation standing up for freedom and equality, a new generation intent on voting and protecting the right to vote, a new generation running for political office. I told him that all those young people—of every race, from every background and gender and sexual orientation—they were his children. They had learned from his example, even if they didn’t know it. They had understood through him what Ame...

Jason: My sleeves are rolled up,

This contest in the Show Me State might be the dark-horse contest to watch. --  NPR , 5/2/2016 Friends, “Dark horse.” “Sleeping giant.” The press is running out of metaphors to describe how tight this race has become. Of course, there are more good ones. Like “photo finish”, as in how close this race could be come Election Day --  especially now that Donald Trump is at the top of the Republican ticket for president. Or “buried in mud,” as in what Super PACs and special interests hope to do to me before November. Or “work to the bone,”  which is what we’re going to do to hit our $55,000 goal -- and every other goal we have -- in order to keep fighting and win this thing. If we’re going to keep up our success, we cannot let a single goal go unmet. Can you chip in $5, $10 or more to get us to this $55,000 May goal? Washington is broken. Missouri families know that. They don’t want someone in the Senate who fights for Donald Trump and his out-of-touch, extremist id...

Will: the federal government's role in education poll

Image
Dear Friend, Most parents would agree that our children are the future and they deserve the best education our country has to offer.  I would like to know what you think about the federal government's role in education. Do you believe that the federal government should have more or less control of public school curriculums?* More control Less control I'm not sure Click to open in a separate window   As your Representative, I am most effective when I am receiving feedback from constituents. Please do not hesitate to  contact my office  if you have any questions, concerns, or opinions on something important to you and your family. Respectfully,   Rep. Will Hurd

Bill: Ignore the Media. Make History

Don't let drama distract us... View this email in your browser Contribute Now Ignore the Media. Make History. Friends, I was elected Governor of Massachusetts twice, and I’ve been involved in a lot of other campaigns. And there is one thing that always happens. In the final days before the election, the media and the pundits -- desperate for new headlines -- seize on anything to add to the drama. We can’t let the drama distract us from making the history we are poised to make. Thanks to amazing supporters such as you and literally tens of thousands of volunteers all across this great country,  Gary Johnson and I are on the verge of altering the political landscape in America for years to come . In state after state, our level of support gives us the key to Tuesday’s outcome. Nationally, we are on track to achieve the 5% level that will, for the first time in decades, grant a third party the ballot access and funding that is today...

ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in serious trouble.

Image
  It doesn't look good, Mr. Gilyard. The Democrats are coming after newly-elected Reps. Burgess Owens & Byron Donalds like nothing I've ever seen before... ...and the ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in  serious trouble .     I'm writing to you, Robert, because patriotic conservatives like you were instrumental in helping Burgess & Byron beat the odds to win two hotly-contested races for U.S. House last election. But they need us now more than ever. You see, the Democrats have already stockpiled millions of dollars to relentlessly bombard Burgess & Byron with brutal attacks from now until Election Day, and their deep-pocketed Big Tech comrades are funneling in millions more. The Democrats are desperate to defeat these two outspoken Black conservative Congressmen because they're... ☆ Speaking truth directly to the Black Community ☆ Exposing the Democrats' race-baiting LIE that conservatives like you and me are all  racists ☆ Reclaimi...

Steve: We are poised to shock the world in Iowa.

Image
Friend of Liberty,, We are poised to shock the world in Iowa. With 1,025 precinct captains (more than any other campaign), 99 county chairs and 525,000 phone calls made, we have an organization in Iowa that is ready to win. We need 27,000 votes to win Iowa. That's why we have launched our "March to a Million Iowa Calls." We have seven target phone universes and we want to deliver 3-5 messages to each target universe in the next two weeks.  Would you help us do that? We believe that 1,000,000 phone calls into Iowa will be our shock and awe campaign and help us reach 27,000 votes. We only have two weeks to get this all done. Would you sign up to help at this link:  tiny.cc/randmarch Time is short. The challenge is great. Our goal is just. Your time is needed. Steve Grubbs Chief Iowa Strategist P.S. Please don't delay. We have to succeed in our March to a Million calls!

Tom Harkin: support for Rep. Markey today.

Image
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...

James Carville Backwards tattoo

Image
Dear Robert, FEC deadline is midnight, and here’s a number to ponder: 90%. It’s so important, you should tattoo it backwards on your forehead so you read it every time you brush your teeth: 90% of donations to Karl Rove’s American Crossroads this year came from 3 billionaire donors bent on destroying President Obama. 90% of donations to the DSCC come from grassroots supporters. American Crossroads has 3 important donors. The DSCC’s got half a million. And every one of those donors needs to give by midnight if we’re going to defend our 4-seat majority. Your decision right now – whether to click or not – determines whether we have the money to invest in key races. If we meet our goals, we can hold the Senate and stop their sick Republican agenda. But if Rove wins, you got Big Oil writing energy policy, Big Insurance handling your health care, and you can kiss Medicare goodbye. Your choice, folks. You know what you need to do.

Rob: Hold Ohio

Image
robert – In this fall's historic November elections,  Ohio really is at the heart of it all. Multiple sources are projecting this Ohio Senate race to be the most expensive race in 2016  –  Politico  expects $100 million in spending! And that's not all: across the political spectrum,  the pundits rate this race as a toss-up. HOLD OHIO >> robert, my opponent,  leftwing Democrat former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland – whose disastrous term saw our state lose 350,000 jobs  -- has the endorsement of Hillary Clinton  and  Elizabeth Warren.  And if he's elected  Ohio will be saddled with a Clinton rubberstamp who will once again compromise our job security, raise taxes, and increase healthcare costs. If we lose this race, I am afraid Republicans will lose the Senate majority as well. The whole country is focused on this fight –  will you stand with me today? All best, Rob Portman  HOLD OHIO >> ...
