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: Our friends over at EMILY’s List

Image
      Our friends over at EMILY’s List are holding a “Flip the Senate” Moneybomb, robert. Democrats only need to flip five seats to win back control of the Senate. EMILY’s List is supporting nine fantastic pro-choice women in senate races this year -- six in seats that we can flip, and three in seats we need to hold. These could be the candidates who take back the Senate for Democrats.  And today we have a chance to help them. EMILY’s List is working to raise $100,000 by midnight tonight to strengthen their grassroots organization. Can you chip in $5, $10, or more? Has there ever been a more important time to have more women in Congress? Republicans in Washington take every chance they can get to stand between women and their doctors. The attacks on Planned Parenthood and access to care are practically never-ending. And the next Supreme Court Justice the Senate approves could determine the future of  Roe vs. Wade. The two best things we can do this...

Paul: preventing police shootings

CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) “Ryan noted the conversation came on the day of remembrance for civil rights leader Martin Luther King. ‘I can't think of a better day to have a conversation about this than MLK Day. Because it's all about making sure that we get communities to work with each other,’ Ryan said.” http://bit.ly/2iFYCTK  Police chiefs, Rep. Ryan, talk about preventing police shootings Frank Schultz Janesville Gazette January 16, 2017 J  ANESVILLE—Six law enforcement leaders from around the country met in Janesville on Monday to offer a new approach to racially charged incidents that have torn communities apart in recent years: police shootings. They met with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and discussed ideas for reducing officer-involved shootings. The chiefs recognized Janesville Police Chief Dave Moore as a leader in a new way of policing that first seeks to de-escalate tense incidents so they don't result in gunfire. Ryan took no quest...

Kirsten: Fair Elections Now Act!

Image
We’ve seen the damage  Citizens United  has done to our democracy, Robert. Every election year, negative ads flood the country – and the people who watch them look at Washington and see it’s more broken than ever before as dark money groups drown out the voices of everyday Americans. Now, we have a chance to level the playing field: My friend Senator Durbin just introduced the Fair Elections Now Act, which would cap all small-donor donations to participating candidates at $150 and match them six times to ensure people-powered campaigns can compete with big donors. Join me in supporting this important reform: Add your name to tell Congress to pass the Fair Elections Now Act! Click here to urge Congress to pass meaningful campaign finance reform now! I’ve found that when the door to transparency is opened, a lot of people will follow you through – and I believe that by passing this legislation, we can end the days of anonymous dark money donors and get back to vote...

Yang’s candidacy has a lot in common with . . . Donald Trump

Image
Friend -- Our efforts are working, but we need your help to keep growing.  We need you to donate $20 to post a big number for May so Andrew can meet his goal by the end of June. More and more members of the media are catching on to the movement we are building. Our New York rally drew reporters from outlets including Fox, CNN, and ABC. P olitico , one of the biggest publications in politics, just published a major profile on Andrew, asking, “Is Andrew Yang for real?” Some highlights from the article:   Yang’s candidacy has a lot in common with . . . Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left. He is offering what may be the single most specific diagnosis of the problem at the heart of the American economy. He can talk in vivid detail about specific, scary, looming problems. He comes across as a problem solver. The reporter followed the campaign in South Carolina, where Andrew was polling at 2% ahead of his first trip to the state. That...

Hillary Clinton Re: Renewed Hope

  Dear Robert, We did it! In this incredible year, we have changed our politics, our country and our nation! And I could not be more proud or more grateful to you for sharing this journey with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you have done, for me, for Barack Obama , and for all our Democratic candidates, to make these successes possible. I know that President-Elect Barack Obama will lead our country in the new direction we need. And with the great success of our House and Senate candidates, we can make our agenda a reality. But make no mistake -- our work is not done! I will be doing everything I can in the Senate, working closely with the White House on the goals you and I set out.

With smart, effective new policies, we will move toward energy inde...

Elizabeth: We need the principles

Image
Robert, I first met Russ Feingold in the 1990s, back when I was teaching in law school. The big banks and credit card companies were trying to peddle a terrible bankruptcy bill in the Senate, and I was looking for help to stop it. It's not always easy to find people willing to stand up to big financial companies in Washington. Looking back, I imagine Russ probably could have used the hefty campaign contributions he would have gotten from the banking industry if he had ignored my calls. But that didn't matter to Russ. Even when the odds were against us, Russ joined the fight to stop that terrible bill -- and he didn't just passively sign on; he threw himself into the fight with energy and enthusiasm. He did it because it was the right thing to do. When Russ Feingold started Progressives United four years ago, I knew he'd keep taking on the big fights. So it's no surprise that today, Progressives United is one of the strongest grassroots organizations we ...

Joe Biden will ban you... from the grocery store, from traveling to see your family

Image
  Robert,  Joe Biden wants you and me to carry around a  VACCINE PASSPORT … so we can “prove” our medical history whenever a business or government official demands it. To say this is unconstitutional is an understatement.  It’s  un-American. This much is clear: no one’s going to  give  us our freedoms back.  We have to TAKE them back . Will you help me lead this fight… by pitching in just $25 to support me and my work?   DONATE NOW For a year, our government has destroyed our economy, punished small businesses, denied our children an education, and alienated us from family and friends. Now,  they’re pressuring us to take a rushed, experimental vaccine. And if you don’t comply?  Joe Biden will ban you ... from the grocery store, from traveling to see your family, from going to restaurants and schools…  until you capitulate. This pandemic was never about keeping us safe.  This was about the far-Left grabbing more power than...
