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.

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...

Heidi: Save the senate

Image
Robert, POLITICO  just said it –  the South will decide the fate of the Senate,  and I know two Southern Democrats who need you right now, each running to make history as  their states’  first-ever female Senators : Alison Lundergan Grimes  (KY) has fought back against big spending – and it’s working.

Michelle Nunn  (GA) is closing in on her opponent in one of the year’s toughest races – a series of polls show her within single digits.  Give Michelle an edge today! As North Dakota’s first female Senator, I’m really pulling for these two.  Let’s help these ladies turn their “toss-ups” into Democratic victories and save our Democratic Senate. Please, give every dollar you can spare now. Click here to give by midnight tomorrow, and help Michelle and Alison raise $20,000 to win! ...

Barack: Obama Presidential Center is coming...

Image
Dear friends,  When Michelle and I first began thinking about what the Obama Presidential Center could be, one thing was clear to us both: We didn't want to build only a monument to the past—we wanted to build a Center for the future. We hoped to create a place that would nurture and inspire the young people who walked its halls and played in its parks. A place that would invigorate the community that gave us so much. A place that could anchor Chicago as a destination for anyone who wanted to make a difference.  That's why what happened this week is such a big victory. After a thorough review, a judge dismissed a lawsuit against the City of Chicago that sought to prevent the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park. It's a win that will benefit the whole city.  The campus we've got planned will be far more than a museum—it will be a tribute to Chicago's rich history, its defining legacy of progress, and its extraordinarily bright future. I...

Bernie: super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path

Image
Robert - I want to talk about what we did  last night : after starting in the polls in Wisconsin down more than 40 points, we finished the election with a HUGE margin of victory. We're also going to come away with a strong majority of the delegates. We are on the path to the Democratic nomination for president. But I want to be clear:  super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path in the New York primary. We very much expect an unbelievable amount of attacks and negativity over the  next two weeks .  But I also expect that if we all stand together, starting right now, we can come out of New York with another victory. That's why I have to ask you directly: Contribute $3 to our campaign to help us continue our momentum from Wisconsin with a victory in New York in less than two weeks. One of the first sentences I wrote to our supporters after we launched our campaign was something few people heeded: People should not underestimate us. T...

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Jeff: up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change.

Image
    I have exciting news, Robert: On Tuesday, President Obama announced a  permanent  ban on Arctic drilling, a groundbreaking move which will protect this pristine region and its sensitive ecosystems for decades to come. You did this, Robert : This announcement is the direct result of citizen advocacy like the petition you and I and thousands of others signed to protect the Arctic Ocean from gas and oil drilling.  Together, we stood up for our planet by calling for a ban on Arctic drilling – and our efforts have paid off. There’s no doubt Donald Trump will try to undo this ban – and while the law is clearly on our side,  we must remain vigilant and ready to block any attempt at reversing President Obama’s decision. Our fight to stop climate change is far from over, and I’m working hard every day to keep up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change. Thank you for fighting with me.

Ben: my trip to Jordan

Image
Robert,  On my trip to Jordan this weekend, I visited with Syrian refugees and saw first-hand the real human problems being worsened by the Obama-Clinton empty rhetoric policies. While our politicians fail to deal with the threat of Islamic extremism honestly and decisively, innocent people around the world are losing their lives and millions of people are being forced to flee their homes. It's time to stand up to this evil. We need leaders who will stop whining and start winning. That's the focus of our brand new ad. Will you take 30 seconds to watch it and make a donation to help spread the message before our November fundraising deadline? President Obama has attacked me and my fellow Republican candidates because we don't want to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to America. Like he's done with so many other issues, the President is trying to turn this into a political football. It's shameful. In the absence of American leadership and due...

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 ...

the most competitive governor's races in the country

Image
  Black Independent party, Your support has always meant so much to me. From my time in the state legislature to my time in the governor's office and everything in between, your support is crucial. I know you received a lot of emails over the last week, but I wanted to say: Thank you. This month, we saw a surge in donations, and because of you, we not only hit our July fundraising goal, we surpassed it. While we take a moment to celebrate our good news, we have to remain focused on our goals. I'm afraid our opponents will attack us even harder if we step off the gas now. So this month, it's even more important that we keep our eyes on the road ahead and hit every single goal we set. Black Independent party, this re-election campaign is only beginning. Our race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive governor's races in the country, and it's going to stay that way until the end. We're hyper-focused on starting this month on the right foot.  Will you help ...
