Bill Clinton: Im Proud to be on Team Obama

Robert --

I know how President Obama feels right now because I've been there.

These final 20 days will be the toughest of the whole campaign. We'll win this, but only if we go after every single vote.

Right now, Barack needs everyone who believes in him to step up. If you do, that will see him through.

Midnight tonight is the last FEC fundraising deadline of this campaign, and then all of our planning and building comes down to just one last test on November 6th.

Let's bring it home for Barack. If you can, please make a donation of $5 or more today:

President Obama was terrific last night, and I'm proud to be on his team. Today, he's counting on us to do our part.

Thank you,

Bill Clinton

P.S. -- The other side has launched a massive ad blitz in battleground states, and we need to respond swiftly and powerfully. Please donate $5 or more today so that this campaign's grassroots operation has the resources it needs to compete and win.

The Alliance: Counter to Obama's Foreign Policy

Image
Dear Friend, The last few days have been incredibly successful for the Alliance for a Strong America. Americans all across the nation are standing with us as we fight back against President Obama's failed policies and the crumbling Obama Doctrine. Recently,  The Washington Post's  Jennifer Rubin published a profile of Vice President Cheney, Liz, and the mission of the Alliance and we thought you'd enjoy giving it a read: Dick and Liz Cheney Act To Counter Obama's Failed Foreign Policy Article Appeared in  The Washington Post , June 18, 2014 By Jennifer Rubin Former vice president Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz have seen quite enough of the Obama administration's foreign policy debacles. Rather than simply take to the airwaves, they have decided to do something about it and about the political environment concerning national security. The Cheneys' press release announces: "the formation and launch of The Alliance for a Strong America, a 501(c)4...

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...

When I ran for governor of Georgia in 2018,

Image
  robert, Across this country, Republicans are turning their backs on families and hardworking people – and threatening the very character of our democracy. That's why it's never been more important for Democrats to win back the Senate majority this November. The path to Senate control runs through New Hampshire – but right now, right-wing Republicans are spending millions of dollars to defeat Jeanne Shaheen.  That's why I'm reaching out to you today:   With Senate control at stake, will you give $3 or more before midnight to help Jeanne hit her critical end-of-month goal, defend New Hampshire's Senate seat and take back the Senate for Democrats? When I ran for governor of Georgia in 2018, I witnessed firsthand the GOP's attempts to force Democratic voices into silence. My right-wing opponent did everything he could to prevent thousands of voters from being heard at the ballot box.  As we get closer to the November election, this is happening again across the co...

Annette: Why i came to America

Image
Dear Robert, I know that your inbox is filling up quickly with fundraising emails. That’s why I wanted to go ahead and let you know now that this is not one of those emails. I’m not going to ask you to chip in to my campaign now before any “critical deadline,” nor am I going to ask you to help me unlock a triple match. Instead I want to share a personal story. It's a little long, but I think it's very important to let you know what I think truly matters right now. I came to the United States when I was 17 years old, after my father was kidnapped by the FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. Although my father was American, and had served in World War II and the Korean War as a U.S. Air Force Pilot, Colombia was the only home I had ever known, and Spanish the only language I was used to speaking. It didn’t take long for me to realize that the English I had studied in school was not enough to make me fluent, as such, I struggled to get into college. But I wa...

That was certainly the case when hundreds of EMILY's List supporters came together for  an inspirational night to honor and celebrate Congresswoman  Gabrielle Giffords  -- for her spirit, her grace, her dignity, and the incredible example she has set for women who aspire to public office.

Chuck: two seats

Image
Robert, Democrats are supposed to be back on our heels this year. We're supposed to have our hands full defending crucial Senate seats in the South. And we are working hard indeed to re-elect people like Mary Landrieu in Louisiana and Mark Pryor in Arkansas, real leaders in red states. But we're also going on offense -- in the South. Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes is in a strong position to defeat Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, and Democrat Michelle Nunn will have a real chance to win an open seat in Georgia. Because Grimes' and Nunn's primaries are on May 20th, they have an unusual reporting deadline -- tonight at midnight. Contribute $5 today to help them show strong support. A victory by Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes over Mitch McConnell would help Democrats maintain control of the Senate. It would give us another great woman senator committed to creating jobs, ensuring equal pay for equal wo...

Mark Pryor: This is a promise we need to keep.

Image
Robert, America was built on a promise that with honest, hard work comes a chance to earn a decent living and support our families. This is a promise we need to keep. That’s why I’m supporting the ballot initiative to raise Arkansas’ minimum wage to $8.50 an hour. It has been more than seven years since the state minimum wage was raised – years that included the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, even as the cost of living continued to climb. Raising the minimum wage is simply the right thing to do.  I’m proud to be working with Give Arkansas a Raise Now, the interfaith alliance spearheading this effort, but we need you with us. Will you add your voice to ours and sign the petition supporting this critical issue? Click here to show your support for giving Arkansas a raise. Stand with the hundreds of thousands of Arkansas families who work hard and deserve a fighting chance at the American Dream. No Arkansan should be forced to choose between feed...

Jenny: out-hustle "Team Mitch"

Image
Dear Patriot, If we don't help Constitutional conservative Matt Bevin win the Kentucky primary in a few weeks, RINO Mitch McConnell could  cost us the Senate majority . For that very reason, the  Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund  has made  Matt Bevin's  campaign one of our very top priorities this year. We must raise  $ 100,000  as soon as possible to help push Matt to victory, along with Tea Party candidates across America! Please make your most generous contribution of $15, $25, $50, or whatever you can possibly afford right away to help us get involved on the ground in this critical race. We have only a few weeks left before the Kentucky primary! Mitch McConnell's campaign is an absolute  disaster  right now. It's so bad that a local Kentucky paper recently asked, " Is Mitch McConnell  trying  to lose? " This RINO has attacked his own voting base, claiming that he wants to  " punch "  Tea Party conse...

Patrick: If it's what you say I love it

Robert, Donald Trump Jr.'s emails released yesterday are explicit. The president's son was offered a meeting with a Russian lawyer for information that "would incriminate Hillary" as part of "Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." Trump Jr. responded:  "If it's what you say I love it" Paul Manafort, then President Trump's campaign chairman, and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and Senior White House Adviser, joined Trump Jr. for the meeting. This news is deeply disturbing, and only the latest in a series of shifting denials, changed stories, and cascading lies around members of the Trump campaign and administration's contacts with Russia. We all know that the Trump campaign was led by zealots who would stop at nothing to get Trump elected. But it's still shocking to see the actual Trump Jr. emails, and that they would go so far as to knowingly work with an enemy of the United States to influe...
