Donna Brazile: fight back against someone with such extreme and harmful beliefs.

-
Gilyard,

Claire's campaign just released some of the most compelling ads I've ever seen — and I've been watching powerful political ads for forty years.
Keep these ads on the air. DONATE NOW.
Diana, Joanie and Rachel — three survivors of sexual assault — in telling their poignant stories explain why victims of rape and incest must have the option of taking emergency contraception — and why Todd Akin's fundamental belief they should not have that option is so repulsive and dangerous.

But, an ad is only as effective as the number of voters who see it.

Make a $5 donation right now to help Claire's campaign keep these ads on the air and show Missouri voters the real-life impact of Todd Akin's extreme policies.

As these three courageous women said in the videos: no politician should be allowed to make what is an incredibly personal decision for survivors of rape and incest.

And certainly not Todd Akin.

While most Missouri voters know about Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate rape," they don't know about his extreme position on emergency contraception. They don't know how harmful that position would be to Missourians and women across the country.

Make a $5 donation to help keep the ads on the air and show voters the impact of Akin's positions:

Thanks for helping Claire fight back against someone with such extreme and harmful beliefs.

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
