Kirsten Gillibrand: attacks are completely unwarranted.

-
Robert L.,

It’s not rocket science: If we want Congress to stop threatening women’s rights, we need more women in Congress! Right now, we’ve got just 23 days left and no time to waste.

Three incredible women – Val Demings, Tammy Duckworth and Christie Vilsack – are running in super-tight House races against extreme Tea Party candidates. And they really need our help.

National Republicans are so desperate to keep control of the House they’re launching relentless attack after relentless attack. We can’t allow their attacks to rule the day. No; with our help, Val, Tammy and Christie can win – but only with our help.

Please, rush your support to their campaigns. We’ve got to do everything we can to elect more women and take back the House.

Click here to make your donation immediately. Be a part of our drive to help these three amazing women and recapture the U.S. House.
Help Fight Back
The attacks are completely unwarranted.

Tammy’s under fire for her brave service in the Iraq war, Christie for her support of Planned Parenthood and Val for her tenure as Orlando’s police chief.

These are admirable women, who have given so much to our country. But that doesn’t matter to the other side – they can find a way to spin anything negative.

We can’t let that win out. These women are some of the best candidates around, and we need them to win. That’s why your help right now is so critical. Time’s running down.

Please donate to Val, Tammy and Christie’s campaigns today. Help them beat their extremist opponents, who are trying to tarnish their impressive service to our country.

I wouldn’t ask for your help if I didn’t truly believe in these women. I hope you’ll join me in supporting them.

All the best,

Kirsten

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.
