Jennifer Petty: Save the Michigan Unions

Dear robert l., 

They really are already at it again. Led by Republicans, on Tuesday, Michigan’s state legislature enacted far-reaching legislation that could cripple hardworking Americans who belong to labor unions. 

That’s right, in Michigan, a state that was the center of the union movement.

And Republican Governor Rick Snyder has already signed the legislation. 


This “right to work” effort is what the Republican Party is all about. And like we did in Wisconsin last year, we have to get people on the ground in Michigan, so we can fight back for working Americans.

But we need your year-end support, so please donate today. 


This effort was led by Americans for Prosperity, which is funded by the billionaire Koch brothers – who want to crush middle-class Americans everywhere they can. 

So please, please be as generous as you can today, so we can fight back. You know they won’t stop in Michigan. They will try to roll this out in every state they can. We must be ready to fight back. 


You’ve been there before when I’ve turned to you, and that’s why I’m turning to you again today. 

Sincerely,
Jennifer Petty 
Executive Director

Katherine Archuleta: Today President Obama announced a common-sense policy change that will make our immigration system fairer and smarter.

Friend -- I wanted to make sure you saw the news: Today President Obama announced a common-sense policy change that will make our immigration system fairer and smarter. I'm proud to support it, and I hope you are, too. Under the administration's guidance, immigration courts are going to focus on deporting people who have been convicted of crimes or who pose a security risk. This means that the courts will focus less on "low-priority" cases -- like young people who were brought here as small children and know no other home, or veterans and military spouses. So the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice will be reviewing the current deportation caseload, clearing out low-priority cases, and making sure they don't get into the system in the first place -- keeping the focus on cases that will make our country safer. It's a smart, strategic change. And it will make a difference. But more comprehensive change requires Congress to act. ...

Michelle: I believe every girl on the planet deserves the same kind of opportunities for an education that I’ve had

Image
Hi there, When I was growing up, the classroom was one of the first places that helped me find my voice. I learned a lot in school—my multiplication tables, how to structure a paragraph—but also how to raise my hand, push myself, and speak my mind. I believe every girl on the planet deserves the same kind of opportunities for an education that I’ve had, and that’s what led us to start the Girls Opportunity Alliance—to support adolescent girls' education around the world. It’s also what brought me to Vietnam this week to meet with some of the inspiring girls and leaders who are part of our incredible community.   At Cần Giuộc high school, I had a chance to spend time with young women who are determined to get an education—often against great odds. They shared their hopes for themselves and for their families, and they shared how the support they receive from local organizations has helped them to stay in school and build a brighter future.  I hope you’ll take acti...

What issues are most important to you

Image
Dear Robert, As a Senator, a lot of my job involves talking to people. But the most important part of my job is  listening . That's why I've held more than 215 community roundtable discussions - including at least one in each of Ohio's 88 counties. What issues are most important to you?  Take our survey and let me know. There are issues swirling around Washington that will make a difference not just for us, but for our children and their children. How are we going to return student loan interest rates back to normal levels? How are we going to end the corrosive influence of  Citizens United  in our elections? How are we going to create jobs and grow our economy? How do we protect access to healthcare for women and families? I know that some of these issues will affect you more than others. And I want to know which ones are at the top of your list.  Take our quick survey, and let me know which issues matter most to y...

Mitch Stewart: Wednesday, August 3rd, campaign volunteers will get together for house meetings in all 50 states

Friend -- As someone who got his start as a community organizer, President Obama's entire career has revolved around the idea that ordinary people working together can do extraordinary things.

This Wednesday, August 3rd, campaign volunteers will get together for house meetings in all 50 states.

Team Newsom: Gov Newsom on Colbert

Image
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! Governor Newsom has received a lot of feedback on his recent social media posts on Twitter and TikTok. Democrats love it. Fox News cries about it relentlessly. But what they don't get is the irony of it all -- that it is putting a mirror up to the absurdity of Donald Trump. Watch this clip from Colbert last night. Thank you, Team Newsom

Martin Sheen: Sherrod is one of those fighters

Image
Hello Robert, I’m Martin Sheen . You know me best as an actor, but I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and early on in life decided I wouldn't sit on the sidelines when it came to issues of economic and social justice. When a true leader crosses my path -- one who doesn’t just talk about progressive values but embodies them -- I act. And I hope you will, too, by supporting Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. Sherrod is dedicated to the middle class, to seniors, and to women and families. He doesn’t work for the special interests -- he works for the middle class people who make Ohio great. Sherrod needs our help -- and this country needs the progressive voice of Sherrod Brown. This month, his campaign needs to raise $500,000. Click here to contribute today. We place a sacred trust in our elected officials. We expect them to stand up with courage and conviction for the things we believe in. That’s exactly what Sherrod has done . He showed up on Day One a fighting progre...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: This is Personal, No Time For Politics

Image
Robert L. -- In 2007, I heard the words no woman wants to hear: "You have breast cancer." I remember sitting in the hospital after my surgery, waiting for a test to come back, wondering how many more birthdays I would get with my kids -- how many more anniversaries I'd get with my husband. I don't care how strong you are: It's a terrifying moment. The Supreme Court decision to uphold Obamacare is a big deal for millions of Americans like me. But the fight to protect it is far from over. If elected,  Mitt Romney  has vowed to repeal it on Day One, and I believe him. This fight is personal to me. I want to do everything I can to protect health care for every American. And I need your help. Donate $3 or more today to make sure Romney and Republicans can't take away our health care. We have an important fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight, and the Republican Party will be judging our ability to keep fighting by how much we raise before that deadline. Whe...

Sarah: our tax system does help people

Image
Dear Robert, Our tax system is upside down – big corporations pay lower tax rates than local small businesses and the ultra wealthy pay lower tax rates than the rest of us. But one way that our tax system does help people afford the basics is by giving them tax credits for work (Earned Income Tax Credit) and for child care (Child Tax Credit). But some key provisions within these credits won't be around forever. We need Congress to do the right thing and make these key provisions permanent so families can continue to make ends meet. Click here to tell Congress to make these provisions permanent! When Congress returns from their break this fall, Republicans will be looking at extending huge tax giveaways to big corporations and Wall Street. Instead of more tax breaks for corporations that cut wages and ship our jobs overseas, Congress should be boosting tax credits for hard-working families that help families provide for their children and meet the basics.
