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.

Paul: concrete framework for tax reform.

Click here to open this e-mail in its own browser window     Click here to open a plain text version of this email CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) Today is a big day.  Today, the House, the Senate, and the Trump administration unified behind a concrete framework for tax reform. This is the first step forward to fixing our broken tax code—which hasn’t been done in over thirty years. We are cutting taxes. And we want you to have more jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks.  I want to personally send you the  full framework  .  You will hear a lot about our plan,  but these are the facts  : Lowers Rates for Individuals and Families The framework shrinks the current seven tax brackets into three – 12%, 25% and 35% – with the potential for an additional top rate for the highest-income taxpayers to ensure that the wealthy do not contribute a lower share of taxes paid than they do today.   Doubles the S...

Pulin and the Change.org team: Thanks for being a change-maker

Dear National Black, Last week, public outcry forced Amazon.com to pull over one hundred whale and dolphin meat products from its Japanese site. Consumers were outraged that the world's largest online retailer supported the killing of whales and dolphins -- and Amazon.com listened. But now, Amazon.com is refusing to put a permanent ban in place to protect these animals in the future. Melissa Sehgal, an Amazon.com customer, is in Taiji, Japan -- the site of an annual dolphin hunt that was exposed in the documentary The Cove. Every day she is witnessing how dolphins are captured and killed, and she wants Amazon.com to help stop it. That's why Melissa started a petition calling on Amazon to never again sell meat from dolphins and whales. Click here to sign Melissa's petition asking Amazon.com to permanently ban whale, dolphin, and porpoise meat from its sites. Tens of thousands of dolphins, whales and porpoises are captured and killed for their meat every year in Japan. The me...

Jacky: “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.”

Image
Robert, “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.” According to investigators from the inspector general’s office, these are just a few of the many heart-wrenching reports of anxiety and post-traumatic stress they are receiving from children separated from their parents by the Trump Administration’s inhumane immigration policies. These children have been irreversibly harmed and will be dealing with the impacts for their rest of their lives. We must continue to speak out and fight back for the children who have been affected by President Trump’s horrifying family separation policies. Add your name now. It is totally unacceptable that children in U.S. custody are not receiving the proper care and treatment they need. From a lack of basic hygiene items like soap to necessary health care services like the flu vaccine, we’ve seen report after report confirming the cruelty these children are experiencing on our government’s watch. These children mu...

Lena: Millions of Americans depend on the Delaware River

Image
Tell the commission: we want a COMPLETE fracking ban Submit a comment now Dear Black, Millions of Americans depend on the Delaware River Basin as a source for clean drinking water.  But newly proposed regulations on fracking and related activities could put it in peril. Submit your public comment: we need a complete ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) just proposed a new set of regulations on fracking. While they call for a ban on drilling and fracking,  the regulations leave the door open for fracking waste to enter the watershed.   The draft regulations are a half-measure that won't protect the watershed from the dangers of fracking. If these regulations are approved, companies could take water for drilling, and fracking waste could jeopardize the safety of drinking water for millions of people reliant on the Delaware. Tell the DRBC: we want a FULL ban on all fracking-related activities. With your...

Chris: The grassroots is fired up

Image
Robert, As Political Director, it's my role to train future grassroots leaders, engage communities and help our volunteers. The RNC is building the largest, earliest and most data focused field program in GOP history. And the kick-off GOP presidential debate confirmed the energy we're seeing out in the field: 24 million people tuned in to the Cleveland debate, and thousands hosted GOP watch parties that the RNC organized: The grassroots is fired up.  Here's what's going on in the field: More than 2,000 individuals have applied to be a part of our Republican Leadership Initiative (RLI). We are training and deploying field organizers throughout the entire country. Our field program is expected to expand to thousands of paid staff across the country. Like what you see? This is just the skeleton – and we need to go twice as far to take back the White House. Take your commitment to the next level by  becoming an Official RNC Member today. Every donation you mak...

Ben: "Can somebody attack me, please?", Oh right, Liberal Media can't take a Joke.

Image
Robert, Sadly, last night's debate was once again defined by personal attacks and hostile rhetoric. In order to get more speaking time, I jokingly asked, "Can somebody attack me, please?" From taxes to religious liberty to the future of the U.S. Supreme Court, I remained focused on offering my vision for a better, more hopeful America because that's what this race is all about. It's not about me, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich as individuals -- it's about the American people and the type of future we must build together. I am absolutely committed to this race because I remain convinced that there is still a place in presidential politics for civility, positivity and common-sense solutions. Remember, our goal is not just to defeat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Our goal is to inspire and rally the American people around a positive vision of freedom, safety and opportunity for all. We will never be successful by tearing each ...

Ben: Candy and I first met at Yale.

Image
robert, Candy and I celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Monday. It has been an amazing forty years. We celebrated it in Nashua, NH while we were on our New Hampshire campaign swing this week. A massive crowd of 650 gathered with us Monday night to hear our friend Tony Orlando sing some of his classic songs. The only thing larger than the crowd was the cake -- it was huge. Our whole event was covered by New Hampshire's  WMUR , and you can see their great story on it below. Candy and I first met at Yale. We are both from Detroit but Yale brought us together. We could never have predicted the course of our journey through life. I can tell you we never expected to be on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. I've spent my whole life tending to children. Children are the mission of our foundation. My entire campaign is about rebuilding the American Dream for all of our children and grandchildren. I'm running for President of the United States because of our ded...

Harold won the Ames Moot Court Competition in her Harvard class, a challenge that our 43 President decided to forego when he was a student.

Image
Robert --  Around the District The 13th Congressional District is home to many fine colleges and universities. During the course of the campaign, I have visited many of these institutions and had the opportunity to speak with students regarding political issues of concern to their generation. I recently participated in a town hall sponsored by the College Republicans at the University of Illinois-Springfield. The young people in attendance asked thoughtful questions and shared insightful observations regarding the state of the Republican Party. The College Republicans also offered to host a debate between all of the 13th District Republican candidates. I hope that such a debate will occur because it will provide college students with the information they need to make an informed choice in the March primary. In Washington, DC While Congress finally has passed a budget, it fails to meaningfully address our $17.2 trillion national debt and unacceptably targets ...
