Ted kennedy Jr: thank you for standing

-
Dear Robert L.,

My dad, Senator Ted Kennedy, loved debates. And if you saw his debates against Mitt Romney almost 20 years ago, you know that a debate against Mitt can be as much fun to watch as it is to participate in.

That’s why I’m looking forward to this year’s presidential debates. But the one I’m most excited about is taking place on October 22 -- because I’m going to watch that one with Sherrod Brown, Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, and maybe you!

If you haven’t entered for your chance to win a trip to Cleveland to watch the debate with Sherrod -- and Martin, and Bradley, and me -- click here to make a contribution of any size and you’ll automatically be entered to win.

I’m proud to support Sherrod because he stands for the same progressive values my dad championed. I’ve watched him take on the special interests and stick up for middle class families. And even as those same special interests have spent more than $19 million attacking him in this campaign, he’s stood firm.

But the reason I’m especially excited about being part of this contest is that I know he doesn’t do it alone. His supporters -- people like you -- make it possible. And I can’t wait to meet you and tell you, in person, how much I appreciate everything you do to help keep our country moving in the right direction.

It’ll be a great night -- and since your airfare and hotel are taken care of, all you’ll have to worry about is who to bring along.

But you can’t win if you don’t enter. Enter today by clicking here -- a contribution of any amount automatically gives you a chance to win.

Debate night is always exciting. It’ll be even more exciting with all these special guests. And I hope I get the chance to share it with you.

And thank you for standing with a progressive leader like Sherrod.

Ted Kennedy, Jr.

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.
