Barack Obama: I hope I made you proud

Robert --

I hope I made you proud out there explaining the vision we share for this country.

Now we need to go win this election -- the most important thing that will happen tonight is what you do (or don't do) to help in the little time we have left:

Thank you,

James Kvaal: the front lines and talk about how President Obama is changing Washington

Friend -- I wanted to give you some good news about the bill banning  insider trading  in Congress that you took action on a few months back. This week, the President signed that bill into law, making members of Congress play by the same rules as everyone else when it comes to investing. Before this week, it was -- amazingly -- not against the law for members of Congress to profit off of the insider information they pick up on Capitol Hill. Hundreds of thousands of Americans like you stepped up and played a role in passing the STOCK Act, so thanks for standing with the President. President Obama promised that he would work to change the old ways of Washington, and this is what that change looks like. There's still more that we have to do, obviously, but thanks to your support, we've made a step in the right direction. Thanks, James James Kvaal National Policy Director Obama for America P.S. -- If you want to take your support to the front lines and talk about how President Oba...

Katy: Tell Democrats: Don’t help Republicans

Image
Our apologies for the inconvenience - here is the corrected  link  to take action. --------------------------------------------- Dear Robert, This is the final showdown to stop Republicans from starting a war with Iran. The United States, Iran and five other world powers announced a historic deal to dramatically curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for easing international sanctions on Iran. It’s a great agreement for the United States, but Republicans are already trying to sabotage it and put us back on the path to confrontation and war with Iran.  You know the Republicans' answer to everything is more boots on the ground -- putting even more Americans in harms way.  That’s why we need to speak out right now and urge Democrats to support diplomacy. Tell Democrats: Don’t help Republicans sabotage the Iran deal and start a war. The truth is, Republicans don’t want diplomacy to work. Just like they did in Iraq, the only thing they know is pouring m...

Team Trump Pence: Learn more about the creation of the Make America Great Again hat,

Image
Robert Louis, Two years ago this month Donald Trump pledged to  Make America Great Again , and a hat became the enduring symbol of a grassroots movement. As the campaign swept the nation, hundreds of Americans were put to work manufacturing the Make America Great Again (#MAGA) hats, all proudly made in the USA, and an American company near bankruptcy stayed in business. WATCH: LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HAT THAT DEFINED OUR MOVEMENT Learn more about the creation of the Make America Great Again hat, and how to make sure you have an authentic hat by watching our new video – #MAGA hats are always  100% Made in the USA.

President Trump has already begun to Make America Great Again! Don’t have a Make America Great Again hat yet? Not sure of a great Father’s Day or graduation gift?  Visi...

Al: Our friends over at EMILY’s List

Image
      Our friends over at EMILY’s List are holding a “Flip the Senate” Moneybomb, robert. Democrats only need to flip five seats to win back control of the Senate. EMILY’s List is supporting nine fantastic pro-choice women in senate races this year -- six in seats that we can flip, and three in seats we need to hold. These could be the candidates who take back the Senate for Democrats.  And today we have a chance to help them. EMILY’s List is working to raise $100,000 by midnight tonight to strengthen their grassroots organization. Can you chip in $5, $10, or more? Has there ever been a more important time to have more women in Congress? Republicans in Washington take every chance they can get to stand between women and their doctors. The attacks on Planned Parenthood and access to care are practically never-ending. And the next Supreme Court Justice the Senate approves could determine the future of  Roe vs. Wade. The two best things we can do this...

Guy Cecil: Republicans are dead wrong on this

Image
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are pushing the Blunt Amendment, a radical piece of legislation that would cannibalize health care reform by letting any employer deny any part of your heath care coverage due to “moral convictions.” Robert, this goes way beyond taking away birth control coverage. An employer could decide that they couldn’t shell out the money necessary for your expensive cancer treatment because of their "moral convictions," and you’d be out of luck. Their goal isn’t just to end contraception coverage. Their goal is to implode our entire health care system and strike a deadly blow to President Obama’s historic health care reform. Republicans are going to try to bring this to a vote as early as today. Before the vote, I need you and 49,999 other people who value health care reform to take a strong stand against the Blunt Amendment. Sign our petition, and stand strong against the Blunt Amendment. Employers shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose our h...

Kirsten: Fair Elections Now Act!

Image
We’ve seen the damage  Citizens United  has done to our democracy, Robert. Every election year, negative ads flood the country – and the people who watch them look at Washington and see it’s more broken than ever before as dark money groups drown out the voices of everyday Americans. Now, we have a chance to level the playing field: My friend Senator Durbin just introduced the Fair Elections Now Act, which would cap all small-donor donations to participating candidates at $150 and match them six times to ensure people-powered campaigns can compete with big donors. Join me in supporting this important reform: Add your name to tell Congress to pass the Fair Elections Now Act! Click here to urge Congress to pass meaningful campaign finance reform now! I’ve found that when the door to transparency is opened, a lot of people will follow you through – and I believe that by passing this legislation, we can end the days of anonymous dark money donors and get back to vote...

Katy: As a network

Image
Dear Robert, Real, lasting change in our communities happens when people get together online and in the streets to demand it. This is what makes USAction such a powerful force - we combine the power of you and thousands of other online supporters with our 19 state affiliates on the ground. These state groups work for progressive change at the local, state, and federal levels. We have the opportunity to bring organizers from several states together next month for a hands-on learning experience about grassroots organizing and leadership development.

Jeanne: this race will come down to

Dear Robert, I’m emailing you from the campaign trail, where I’m so honored to have Hillary Clinton joining me to get out the vote in New Hampshire during this critical final weekend. Because Election Day is just two days away – and with the polls showing a dead heat –  there’s no doubt this race will come down to voter turnout. Our field teams are working nonstop to get our voters to the polls – but we won’t be able to reach everyone unless we hit this make-it-or-break-it goal:  $100,000 by midnight. Every dollar you give right now will be immediately wired to the field to turn out voters and finally defeat Scott Brown.  There’s absolutely no time to waste, Robert. Will you give $5 or more right now? Here’s a link to rush your gift to the field:  jeanneshaheen.org/GOTV/contribute I know if each and every one of us steps up now, we can win and save our Democratic Senate majority. But if we fall short now – we could lose it all. Thank you so much for y...

note from Hillary

Image
        Black Independent Party -- My co-founder Ross Morales Rocketto and I launched  Run for Something  in January 2017 to take back the thousands of seats that Republicans have collected over the last few decades -- and to give young women, people of color, LGBT people, veterans, people with disabilities, and anyone who has been underrepresented in politics the support they needed to launch their very own campaign. Here’s what I’ve been proudly telling people since then: What we’ve done in less than two years would not have been possible without the support of Hillary Clinton and Onward Together. Their checks have kept us afloat as we expanded from two people sitting on our couches with our dogs to a team of more than 12 staffers and a program that’s recruited more than 28,000 could-be candidates. And the mentorship from the Onward Together team has steered us through more than a few tricky situations. Here’s my hard ask: Can you make a donati...
