HILLARY CLINTON; INDIANA WIN


Dear Robert, 


Tonight's victory in Indiana was close, and a margin that narrow means just one thing: every single thing you did to help us win in Indiana helped make the difference. 

Every call you made, every friend you spoke to about our campaign, every dollar you contributed made tonight's victory possible. And I couldn't be more thankful for your hard work. 

Every time we've celebrated a victory, we've celebrated it together. And tonight is no exception. This victory is your victory, this campaign is your campaign, and your support has been the difference between winning and losing. 

Thank you so much for making this campaign possible. Let's keep making history together. 

Sincerely, 


Hillary Rodham Clinton

Fighting a Scourge of Crime Against Seniors

Image
In the midst of the pandemic, there has been a heartbreaking increase in fraud and scams against our nation’s seniors. Last year alone, con artists stole $1 billion from older Americans online.  Yesterday, I held a U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing—along with Chairman Casey—on how to combat these heartbreaking crimes. We heard from several witnesses including South Carolina’s own Vee Daniel, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of the Upstate, who spoke on the increase in COVID-related fraud against seniors. Read more about the hearing here , and view the committee’s newly-released fraud book here . Image Click to watch my remarks at yesterday’s hearing Equipping Educators to Lead with Excellence The role that our nation’s educators play in shaping the next generation can’t be overstated. That’s why I introduced the Teacher and School LEADERS Act  with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle—to expand training programs for teachers who aspire to ...

World’s toughest challenges, you know better than anyone: the global development community is at an unprecedented crossroads, with growing humanitarian needs, fewer resources, and the landscape changing every day.  Given the scope of the challenges we face, this year’s CGI meeting will be different — by necessity. We need to redefine how we show up, how we work, and how we find ways to honor our common humanity. This September, our goal will be to connect dots across issues, expose the consequences, and confront the complicated issues in front of us.  VIEW THE AGENDA The CGI community is built for moments like this. This year marks two decades of our community convening and responding directly to global crises — from the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti; to the U.S. economic downturn in 2009 with the launch of CGI America; to the Ebola outbreaks in 2014, 2015, and 2016; to the Caribbean hurricanes in 2017; to the COVID-19 pandemic; and more. We’ve launched more than 4,100 ...

Al: won't be easy

Image
Dear Robert, What if there was a magic button that could overturn  Citizens United , get the word “SuperPAC” out of our national vocabulary, and drive shady money out of our political system forever? Wouldn’t you push the heck out of that button? Me, too. But there’s no such button. All we can do is fight as hard as we can to limit the influence of big money -- and one important step we can take is passing the DISCLOSE Act, a bill that would force special interest groups to tell us who’s funding their political activities. There’s no button we can push to make the DISCLOSE Act law. But there is a link you can click:  Click here to join us in calling on Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act now! In the end, what we really need is a constitutional amendment to overturn  Citizens United  once and for all. But that’s an uphill battle. And the DISCLOSE Act would be an important first step up that hill. Requiring that special interest groups reveal where they get thei...

Jason: My sleeves are rolled up,

Image
This contest in the Show Me State might be the dark-horse contest to watch. --  NPR , 5/2/2016 Friends, “Dark horse.” “Sleeping giant.” The press is running out of metaphors to describe how tight this race has become. Of course, there are more good ones. Like “photo finish”, as in how close this race could be come Election Day --  especially now that Donald Trump is at the top of the Republican ticket for president. Or “buried in mud,” as in what Super PACs and special interests hope to do to me before November. Or “work to the bone,”  which is what we’re going to do to hit our $55,000 goal -- and every other goal we have -- in order to keep fighting and win this thing. If we’re going to keep up our success, we cannot let a single goal go unmet. Can you chip in $5, $10 or more to get us to this $55,000 May goal? Washington is broken. Missouri families know that. They don’t want someone in the Senate who fights for Donald Trump and his out-of-touch, extremist id...

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 $...

Patrick: Womens March in Vermont

Image
Robert, This morning, Marcelle and I were proud to see how many Vermonters travelled all the way to Washington to participate in the Women’s March on Washington. And we were so pleased to see so many gather for a similar march in Montpelier this afternoon. It was an honor to join together with many thousands of women and men gathered to proclaim loudly that women’s rights are human rights -- and to make a strong statement a day after the inauguration of Donald Trump. By coming together today, Americans of all gender identities, races, faiths, sexual orientations, and immigration statuses sent a powerful message that we will continue fighting for women's rights, to protect our communities, and for progress on the issues that matter. Today, I stand in solidarity with marchers in Washington, Vermont, and across the nation. If you were able to march today,  thank you  for standing up and making your voice heard. If you weren’t able to attend a march yourself, jo...

Katie: We did it

Image
We did it, friend! Over the past nine months, we worked together to build our grassroots campaign from the ground up. Our volunteers pounded the pavement to talk to voters, our staff put in long hours and late nights, and we fought for every last vote. Our grassroots donors chipped in $5 here and $10 there to make sure we had the resources to compete. And your hard work paid off, big time. I'm proud to be Pennsylvania's Democratic nominee to take on -- and beat -- Pat Toomey this November. Pennsylvanians deserve a champion who will fight on behalf of families to make college more affordable, to raise the minimum wage, and to make sure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. Friend, we've got a long, hard road ahead -- but our victory today proves that this grassroots team has what it takes to pull together and win. I'll be calling on you for your support soon enough. But right now, I just want to say thank you. I mean it when I say I couldn't ...

Kirsten: game-changing upset

We’re SO CLOSE to a game-changing upset, Robert. By electing Donna Edwards to the Senate in Maryland, we’ll make the Senate more progressive, more female and more diverse. And with the GOP’s latest histrionics over the president’s Supreme Court nominee, we desperately need more leaders like Donna. Donna can win.  She’s leading by  SIX (!) POINTS  in  The Baltimore Sun’s  latest poll, despite her opponent’s massive fundraising advantage,  but I need your help to ensure she can close strong. This is a race where your $5 or $10 can make all the difference, Robert. Will you please donate to Donna now? Here’s the best link to make your gift:  https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/kg4de Thank you for deciding this matters. Kirsten

Ted: President Obama just called out Rob Portman

Robert, President Obama just called out Rob Portman directly. During a local Ohio TV interview, President Obama urged Sen. Portman to fulfill his constitutional responsibility and grant Judge Merrick Garland a fair hearing and an up or down vote --  and said the fact that Republicans like Portman are not calling for a hearing or a vote means they’re not doing their job. I couldn't agree more with the president: It’s time for Portman and his Republican colleagues in the Senate to do their job. Republicans like Portman are backing up Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz and threatening to delay for over a year so President Obama can't fulfill his responsibility. It's a shame. It's an affront to our Constitution. And leaving the Supreme Court one justice short for over a year will have terrible consequences for our country. That's why I need you to sign my petition calling on Rob Portman to do his job and confirm President Obama's nominee. Join me and the 30,227 strong te...
