Howard Dean: This is where the rubber meets the road

Robert --

We're facing our most critical fundraising deadline yet tomorrow at midnight -- the money we raise now will be used to get us through the final month of the election, and across the finish line on November 6th.

As a former chair of the DNC, I know how important this final month is. People are already voting in Iowa, and other states will start voting in a matter of days.

This is where the rubber meets the road. Whether we win or lose on Election Day will be determined by whether Democrats have the resources we need to go after every single vote.

There is one surefire way you can help -- by chipping in $5 or more today:

I know that, together, we can win this thing.

Gov. Howard Dean

Al Franken: Senators Boxer, Gillibrand, Blumenthal and I are working to bring justice to victims of sexual assault in the military

Image
Dear Robert, We might not like to think that our men and women in uniform are at risk of being sexually assaulted when they volunteer to serve our country -- but the ugly truth is, it happens far too often. This month, the Department of Defense estimated that more than 26,000 cases of sexual assault took place in the military in 2012. It gets worse. The year before, only 10 percent of reported cases - only a fraction of the total - ever resulted in a trial where the victims could find justice. A stunning 62 percent of victims felt like they were retaliated against for coming forward. The system is broken. And we need to fix it. Click here to join me and Senators Barbara Boxer (CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) and Richard Blumenthal (CT) as we fight to fix our military’s response to sexual assault. Unbelievably, even if a jury does issue a conviction, senior military officers with no legal training -- and, often, glaring conflicts of interest -- can throw that conviction out with no e...

Adam: House was finally taking a stand against the NRA

Image
Friend, Remember a few weeks ago when I told you the House was finally taking a stand against the NRA and proposing legislation to establish universal background checks on guns? Good news. That bill, known as HR 8, is now moving forward. And on Wednesday, the House held its first hearing on gun safety reform in eight years. It’s about damn time. While President Trump will have you believe there’s a national emergency at the border that requires a “big, beautiful wall” paid for by American taxpayers, the  real  crisis facing our country is the epidemic of gun violence. We must take action to reduce gun violence, and establishing universal background checks is a commonsense measure that 90 percent of Americans support.  That’s why I joined a bipartisan group of representatives in introducing this legislation and standing up to the gun lobby and the NRA. While this legislation moves forward in the House, we need to make it clear to the Republican-controlled ...

Scott: every conservative who cares

Image
Robert, Conservatives have a tough road ahead in 2016. We’re going up against the Big Government Labor Bosses, Hollywood liberals, and big-government cronies. While a lot of groups claim they help elect conservatives, none come close to the size, scope, and success of the Republican National Committee (RNC) –  the Official Committee in Charge of Taking Back the White House. Only the RNC has what it takes to fight the Obama-Clinton Machine head-on. But right now the RNC still has $40,000 to go to meet their November goal before the deadline TONIGHT at 11:59 p.m. On their behalf, I’m asking for your help, Robert. I know what we’re up against. The Big Government Labor Bosses hated our reforms for Wisconsin that took power away from the government and returned it to the people, and they launched an effort to recall me as governor in 2012. But the RNC stepped in to defend our conservative solutions for Wisconsin. They mobilized a grassroots effort to fight back against Big Labor. T...

Paul: The Congressional Zika Report

Image
CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) The Zika Virus: Be Prepared As we move into the warmer months of the year, many Wisconsinites are rightly concerned about the Zika virus. However, the good news is twofold: The spread of the Zika virus is not expected in Wisconsin, and Congress has, and will continue to, take decisive action to halt the spread of the virus. About the Zika Virus The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide   background  on the Zika Virus: “Zika virus disease (Zika) is a disease caused by the Zika virus, which is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. For this re...

SarahPac: a stand against the slaughter of the unborn

Image
Dear Friend, Last Friday, the House of Representatives took a stand against the slaughter of the unborn by voting to freeze federal funding for Planned Parenthood. This historic vote, in the aftermath of revelations that the organization was selling the body parts of aborted babies, will save the lives of millions. This vote however wouldn’t be possible if it were not for the many courageous congressmen & women whom SarahPAC has supported since 2009. Friend,  with your contribution today , we will continue to support strong conservatives who will stand up for the lives of the unborn and build a strong future for America. Regards, SarahPAC
