Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico


Dear Robert, 


Another big win! Today in Puerto Rico, the voters spoke with a powerful voice to say that this race is not over yet. And thanks to your support, we're celebrating another great victory. 

When all the votes in Puerto Rico are counted, our popular vote lead will be even bigger. More than 17 million people have cast their ballots for our campaign, more votes than any candidate has received in the history of the Democratic Party. Now there can be no doubt: the people have spoken and you have chosen your candidate. We are winning the popular vote. 

Every time the pundits count us out -- every time they declare the race over -- you, the voters, send a clear message that you have another idea. And you and I just keep winning races together. 

Now there are just two contests left, the final primaries in South Dakota and Montana. I know I can rely on your support for these last two races, just as I have throughout the campaign. 

Thank you so much for everything, 


Hillary Rodham Clinton

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...

Jeff: up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change.

Image
    I have exciting news, Robert: On Tuesday, President Obama announced a  permanent  ban on Arctic drilling, a groundbreaking move which will protect this pristine region and its sensitive ecosystems for decades to come. You did this, Robert : This announcement is the direct result of citizen advocacy like the petition you and I and thousands of others signed to protect the Arctic Ocean from gas and oil drilling.  Together, we stood up for our planet by calling for a ban on Arctic drilling – and our efforts have paid off. There’s no doubt Donald Trump will try to undo this ban – and while the law is clearly on our side,  we must remain vigilant and ready to block any attempt at reversing President Obama’s decision. Our fight to stop climate change is far from over, and I’m working hard every day to keep up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change. Thank you for fighting with me.

Kirsten: the latest Off The Sidelines podcast!

Robert, One of the many things Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar and I have in common is that people don’t believe we are senators! In fact, both of us have been mistaken for the wife or employee of the  same  male senator. You don’t want to miss the full story in the latest Off The Sidelines podcast! I'm excited to share conversations I had with Amy and our colleague Heidi Heitkamp about what got us off the sidelines and interested in pursuing public service. We also spoke about Amy's recent book and what issues a Senate full of women might tackle. I had a great time talking to Heidi and Amy, and I think you’ll enjoy them, too! Click here to listen to my conversations with Heidi and Amy on the newest episode of the Off The Sidelines podcast! Thanks for tuning in, Kirsten P.S. It is unbelievable people still see men as leaders and women as wives or employees – but the more women run for office, the sooner that will change.  Chip in $5 to Off The Sidelines t...

There’s no other way to say it. Today is a big day.

It’s the day we officially celebrate breaking ground on the Obama Presidential Center. And we wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of people like you—people who donated, volunteered, shared stories, and supported our vision all along the way. Of course, our work has never been just about a building. We are dedicated to helping  community leaders develop the skills they need and build the relationships that will empower them to change the world. That’s why President and Mrs. Obama took a moment yesterday, as part of our groundbreaking celebrations, to sit down with the latest cohort of Obama Foundation Scholars from the University of Chicago.  This inspiring group is working to increase diversity in Chicago’s technology sector, support women entrepreneurs in India, promote arts education that revitalizes neighborhoods, and much more.  We’re just getting started. There are wonderful things in store for the Obama Presidential Center and the young leaders it will s...

Rand: I have returned unspent money

Image
Dear Patriot, Our country is running a deficit, a very serious deficit. We are fiscally broke and there is no end in sight to curb the limitless spending in Washington. I am outraged by the waste that pollutes our government. It makes my blood boil to see money that should be spent defending our country instead being wasted. And that's why I need your help to make sure I am reelected to continute my fight against this fiscal insanity . I have argued for years that we must not borrow money from China to give to Pakistan. Just this month I led the fight on the Senate floor to stop the United States from spending 300 million dollars of your taxpayer money to fund F16 fighter planes, which were being subsidized for Pakistan. Why are we funding planes for Pakistan when our own nation is starving for so many improvements? Make no mistake, Patriot, egregious government waste exists at every spending level. Recently, I discovered that the U.S. State Department is spending $...

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Jeff: What does it mean to be part of the resistance

Image
    Robert, The time for mourning is over. If Donald Trump follows through on half the things he talked about on the campaign trail, we’re in trouble.  And the early signs are that he intends to do just that. Add your name right now and let’s build the movement to fight back! What does it mean to be part of the resistance to Trump? When people are attacked for who they are, or where they come from,  we will fight. When the Administration hands over our clean air, water, and lands to corporate polluters,  we will fight. When human rights, civil rights, and voting rights are under attack,  we will fight. When the interests of Wall Street and corporate conglomerates are placed ahead of working families and the health of our planet,  we will fight. It means taking action. I’m going to be on the front lines of these fights in the U.S. Senate, and I’m going to need you with me.  Join me and let’s stand up for our values together! Jef...

Mallory: Honestly, how can people be so cruel?

Image
Robert, Planned Parenthood just sent a fundraising email to their donors, begging them to make an “emergency” donation to “fight” the pro-life legislation being introduced in fifteen states that would save the lives of babies with heartbeats. Honestly, how can people be so cruel? After seeing this disturbing email, Susan B. Anthony List has decided to divert emergency funds to fight back against attempts by the Big Abortion lobby to roll back life-saving laws in states all across the nation. Please make your own pro-life emergency contribution of $5, $15, $25, or even $50 to stop Planned Parenthood’s Hollywood donors from destroying life-saving legislation. Also -- I’ve forwarded you Planned Parenthood’s disturbing email below. For  LIFE , Mallory Quigley Vice President of Communications  Susan B. Anthony List - - - - Forwarded Message- - - -  From:  Dr. Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood Action Fund  Date:  Tue, Apr 2, 2019 at 4:14 PM...
