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:

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

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...

Alice: we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels

Image
Dear Black Independenty,   Today, we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels. As Ted Cruz  said this morning :         “Today radical Islamic terrorists targeted the men and women of Brussels as they went to work on a spring morning. In a series of coordinated attacks they murdered and maimed dozens of innocent commuters at subway stations and travelers at the airport.   “For the terrorists, the identities of the victims were irrelevant. They –we—are all part of an intolerable culture that they have vowed to destroy.   “For years, the west has tried to deny this enemy exists out of a combination of political correctness and fear. We can no longer afford either.   “The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.”   Best,   Alice Stewart Com...

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 >> ...

Huma Abedin: Where meaningful action begins

Image
  Robert,    If you’ve ever left a conference wondering what now? — you’re not alone. That’s why I believe so deeply in the Clinton Global Initiative.   At CGI, the conversations don’t end when the meeting does. They lead to real partnerships, real commitments, and lasting results. It's a space where people from all walks of life come together to share and take action.   If you’re ready to move from intention to impact, I hope you’ll be part of CGI 2025. I’ve seen the power of CGI up close — not just in the headlines, but in the way it brings people together to deliver real solutions. Whether it’s expanding access to health care, advancing gender equity, or mobilizing resources in response to crisis, CGI helps turn shared purpose into measurable progress.   That kind of work doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up, bring their full selves, and commit to doing the hard work together.   This September, we’ll come together again in N...

Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund raised more money than Karl Rove’s three organizations combined!

Image
Dear Patriot, The first elections of the critical 2014 midterms are just weeks away.  Republican voters across the country will go to the polls to select their candidate for the important November elections. Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is already on the ground, working with activists across the country, to ensure that we have conservative majorities in the House and Senate. Our Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Team was recently in  South Carolina , sharing with activists the results of polling and message testing of voters in the state. "The actions the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund has already taken were a big boost to our activists' enthusiasm," Debbie Jones, with the Mt. Pleasant 9-12 Project, said in an email after the event. In the coming weeks, we will provide training so that thousands of activists in the state have the tools they need to go out and talk to their neighbors about the election. "The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is the only ...

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...
