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

What is 4th of July to Fort Smith Arkansas.

Image
What is 4th of July to Fort Smith Arkansas. When we still have Confederate monuments downtown. Where they have annual bike rallies in which they sell Confederate flags. When Confederates put flags on their trucks and intimidate our children up and down our streets. When Confederate flags wave through the neighborhoods of our children that are walking home from school. Where their dogs are barking at our children to harrass and terrorized them until  they cannot move and we as adults have to stand and tell them that everything is okay. What is 4th of July to Fort Smith Arkansas. When we have a black mayor who does nothing for his own race and will celebrate America's Independence and ignore his own Freedom day that Juneteenth represents. The same mayor that used the platform of integration and segregation as a reason to be elected. And that same segregation and integration that is represented in Juneteenth was avoided. Will boast of white applause and ignore our black sisters in...

ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in serious trouble.

Image
  It doesn't look good, Mr. Gilyard. The Democrats are coming after newly-elected Reps. Burgess Owens & Byron Donalds like nothing I've ever seen before... ...and the ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in  serious trouble .     I'm writing to you, Robert, because patriotic conservatives like you were instrumental in helping Burgess & Byron beat the odds to win two hotly-contested races for U.S. House last election. But they need us now more than ever. You see, the Democrats have already stockpiled millions of dollars to relentlessly bombard Burgess & Byron with brutal attacks from now until Election Day, and their deep-pocketed Big Tech comrades are funneling in millions more. The Democrats are desperate to defeat these two outspoken Black conservative Congressmen because they're... ☆ Speaking truth directly to the Black Community ☆ Exposing the Democrats' race-baiting LIE that conservatives like you and me are all  racists ☆ Reclaimi...

The Revolution of Reason is on. Nothing will stop us.

Friend -- February was the best month ever for our campaign—we received donations from 34,025 different people for a total of $570,954.82!  The average donation was $16.78.  That’s incredible.  THANK YOU for making it happen.  We raised as much as many other major candidates for the month.   Aside from the raw numbers, which are staggering, here’s another reason I am excited.  I received this message hundreds of times via social media:  “You are the first political candidate I have ever donated to.”   This message is important.  It’s become a constant drumbeat.  And it means that we are poised to do great things. I had a meeting last week with a social psychology professor named Jonathan Haidt.  He wrote a book called  The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion .  He also worked on a report called Hidden Tribes that came out recently. ...

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...

presenting three incredible women to our EMILY's List community

Image
robert, I just got back from an event in Houston where I had the pleasure of presenting three incredible women to our EMILY's List community,  Leticia Van de Putte, Nina Turner, and Lucy Flores -- all of whom are going to run for statewide office in 2014.  Get to know their names, because they are the next generation of leaders from EMILY's List and the Democratic Party.  It has given me such joy to see them grow, just as our EMILY's List former Political Opportunity Program (POP) candidates Wendy Davis and Natalie Tennant have risen up through our POP pipeline. I know Leticia, Nina, and Lucy will do great things.     Take care, Stephanie P.S. 2014 is a brand new year with brand new possibilities. Give us a head start going into 2014 and donate to EMILY's List today!

Rob: we’re tired of waiting

Image
Robert L., That’s how long we’ve been waiting for a real transportation bill. Congress has passed 33 short-term extensions of federal highway and transit funding over the past six years. That’s inexcusable. With federal transportation funding set to run out in a matter of days, the House and Senate are nowhere close to agreement on how to end the gridlock, putting us right back in the same position we were in barely two months ago. Tweet at Senate Majority Leader McConnell and House Speaker Boehner and tell them we’re tired of waiting. We need long-term transportation investments that will create jobs and economic growth now. As long as we’re on the brink of bankrupting the Highway Trust Fund every six months or so, we’re missing out on long-term investments that would create good, family-sustaining jobs, reduce traffic jams that worsen air pollution, and ensure a strong economy for our communities and families. Tweet a message to Senate Majority Leader   McConnell an...
