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,

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...

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...

I’m taking on centuries of white supremacy and patriarchy

Image
        Robert, There would be no Marilyn Mosby without Kamala Harris. When I won state’s attorney, Kamala was my inspiration – and now she’s the Vice President of the United States of America. We are at a critical moment; the precipice of equality and unity, yet hostage to our nation’s history. There is opportunity in our future that we must demand. Progress requires progressive leadership. Progress requires effort. I’m putting in the work, and right now I’m asking for your help.   "Kamala Harris inspires Black women from Baltimore state’s attorney to speaker of Maryland House of Delegates" - Baltimore Sun Far too few Black Women achieve positions of power in this country. While Kamala’s ascension is proof of progress, it is also a reminder of how much further we have to go. I am taking on a field dominated by white men. My policies and actions are dictated by a vision of equality and protection for ALL members of our community. Which is why I’m perceived as a ...

Paul: preventing police shootings

CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) “Ryan noted the conversation came on the day of remembrance for civil rights leader Martin Luther King. ‘I can't think of a better day to have a conversation about this than MLK Day. Because it's all about making sure that we get communities to work with each other,’ Ryan said.” http://bit.ly/2iFYCTK  Police chiefs, Rep.

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...

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...
