Martin Sheen: as passionate about politics as I am

Dear Robert L.,

No way I’m missing this.

I’m coming to Cleveland on Monday, October 22 for Sherrod’s Great Debate Watch Party. Will you enter for a chance to join us?

To be automatically entered for a chance to win airfare, hotel, and a plum seat at the party, click here and make a contribution of any size right away.

Presidential debates are always exciting -- even without a team of Hollywood writers scripting every word. And it’s even more exciting to watch them with people who are as passionate about politics as I am, especially folks like Sherrod and his supporters.

I promise, no matter how many debates you’ve watched -- real and staged -- you’ve never seen one the way you can at the Great Debate Watch Party.

And since Sherrod’s campaign will cover your airfare and hotel, all you have to do is enter (you can get automatically entered by clicking here to make a contribution) and then think about which lucky friend is going to get to come with you.

You’re not going to get another chance like this. So don’t miss out. Click here right now to make a contribution and you’ll be automatically entered to win a trip to the Great Debate Watch Party.

I can’t wait to see Sherrod in Cleveland. Hope you’ll be there, too.

Martin Sheen

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.
