HILLARY CLINTON: PENNSYLVANIA


Dear Robert, 


Thanks to you, we won a critically important victory tonight in Pennsylvania. It's a giant step forward that will transform the landscape of the presidential race. And it couldn't have happened without you. 

There will be much more to do beginning tomorrow. But tonight, let's just celebrate the fact that you and I are part of a remarkable community of people tough enough, passionate enough, and determined enough to win big when everything is on the line. 

Thanks so much for all you do. 

Sincerely, 

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Kirsten: Congratulate Alma

Image
Robert, Last night, Alma Adams was sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the 100th woman to serve in our current Congress. This important milestone was nearly a hundred years in the making, dating back to 1917. While we mark this occasion, let us also make clear:  We won’t wait another century to get the equal representation women deserve. We can – and should – recognize this moment without getting complacent over our future. We should fight for more swearings-in, more celebrations, and more women in office. But first, I hope you’ll join with EMILY’s List and me to honor this great woman. Congratulate Alma, who spent 20 years serving in her state’s legislature, on the occasion of her swearing-in. Click here to congratulate Alma Adams on her swearing-in to the United States Congress. Even as we reach 100 women in Congress, our representation is still less than 20 percent – far less than our share of the overall population. We can never...

It's crunch time.

Image
robert, Congress just got back from their annual summer vacation -- but Mitch McConnell's Republican Party sure didn't take a single day off from their attacks on women and families.  They've come after Alison Lundergan Grimes with sexist attacks on her qualifications. They've shuffled their election dates in Georgia to try to come up with a less absurd challenger to Michelle Nunn. It's been a crazy couple months, but we can't dwell on the negative -- because  we've had an amazing response from all of you in the last several weeks! You've put our women candidates like Alison and Michelle in a great place with thousands and thousands of contributions. You've supported EMILY's List in unprecedented numbers. We're on the path to victory over McConnell's GOP and all their anti-woman tactics.  But even when we're doing well, we can't take a break. So keep up the fight now and take ...

Democrats have spoken out in frustration.

Image
  Black Independent Party, Since Senator Joe Manchin announced he’d vote against critical voting rights legislation AND oppose ending the filibuster, Justice Democrats have spoken out in frustration.  Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman haven’t held anything back. Speaking on Manchin’s opposition to the For The People Act, to protect our elections and stop the racist Republican voter suppression laws in states across the country, Jamaal said,  “Joe Manchin has become the new Mitch McConnell...Manchin is doing everything in his power to stop democracy and to stop our work for the people.”  It’s blunt, but it’s true. And if more Democrats followed the lead of Justice Democrats like Jamaal, Manchin would feel the pressure to change his position. But the Democratic establishment is staying silent because corporate Democrats are complicit in Manchin’s obstruction.  This is serious:  We need your help right now to transform the Democratic Party right away and elect more ...

I have a few updates for you

Image
  I get it: It can be hard to keep track of everything going on in Washington. And it can be easy to feel discouraged about what’s not happening fast enough, or what’s not happening, period. So I want to give a quick rundown of how I see the lay of the land, and how we’re making some progress even though we’re in the middle of some tough fights. But first, I’m asking: We have a big end-of-quarter fundraising deadline coming up, and we have less than a week to hit our goal. If you’re in a place where making a financial contribution makes sense, please chip in $3 or whatever you can to support our re-election campaign, help elect Democrats up and down the ballot, and fight for the bold reforms that we need as a country.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims during this unimaginable tragedy, and with our first responders who are heroically risking their lives to save the missing and reconnect loved ones.    In these difficult times it is important that we pull together as a community, to support those who are in need.

I hope you will join me in supporting this fund as we begin to help the community through this tragic event.     Donate to Support Surfside   Thank you for your support in this effort.

Marianne: Yeah, but she could never beat Donald Trump

Image
Dear Black Independent, At first, I was told I could never get my foot in the door; I could never be considered a real contender. Then we proved them wrong, as we have double-qualified for the DNC debates later this month. And now they’re saying, “Yeah, but she could never beat Donald Trump.” I’m writing to tell you why I think I’m the  best person to beat Donald Trump. This is a critical moment in America history, and I’m not running for president to waste anyone’s time or mess with their emotions. I’m running because I think that if I'm the Democratic nominee, I will win. And if I win, then together we will change America. Donald Trump — regardless of whether or not you agree with any of his policies — has introduced a mean-spiritedness into our politics that is literally corrosive to our democracy. It assaults the moral fabric of our nation. It shows disrespect for American values. And that must not be allowed to stand. Trump has succeeded in doing those thi...

you paid more in federal taxes than Elon Musk.

Image
If you had a job in 2018, chances are you paid more in federal taxes than Elon Musk. You read that right: According to a new report by ProPublica, Mr. Musk — one of the wealthiest people in the country — paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes in 2018. The worst part? Under our broken tax system, it’s completely legal.  That’s because billionaires like Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mike Bloomberg don’t make their fortunes through income like working families do. Their wealth comes from assets — like stock portfolios, art collections, and super-yachts. And by hiring the savviest lawyers and accountants that money can buy, they’re able to take advantage of huge loopholes and special breaks to pay little to no income tax — even while their fortunes are skyrocketing. Our tax code is rigged for those at the top — you know it and I know it. We need to address the growing power of billionaires, corporations, and their lobbyists as they rig the system and rules in their favor. I’m fighting every...

more news about groundbreaking this fall. — Barack

Image
Dear friend, Yesterday, I visited Jackson Park, the future home of the Obama Presidential Center, and surprised some of the Center’s future neighbors.  Take a look. We can’t wait to bring this Center to the South Side. For Michelle and me, this project is about more than building a gathering space and museum—it’s an opportunity to bring jobs, investment, and economic opportunity to a neighborhood that’s given us so much.  But we also know that to be successful, this project needs to not just be for the community, it must be built in partnership with the community.    That’s why, this week, I spent time with local business owners at South Shore Brew coffee shop and got to hear from them directly about their hopes for the Center.  I also stopped by the Wolfpack youth football team’s practice and talked to some of the kids who use Jackson Park every day. I came away certain that by working together, we can build a space that will act as an economic catalyst for the...

let’s solve the child care crisis

Image
  Robert, This month, Senator Rosen hosted a roundtable discussion with Nevada child and family advocates to discuss solving the child care crisis to give families and our economy a boost. Here’s the simple truth: if families and small businesses are going to recover from the economic crisis caused by this pandemic, we have to make investing in child care a priority. And that’s why Senator Rosen is working hard in Washington to pass critical support for working parents here in Nevada and all across the country. If you’re with Jacky, sign on now to support affordable child care for working families. Senator Rosen’s bipartisan legislation, introduced in the House by Congresswoman Susie Lee, would provide key support for non-profit child care facilities so they can provide affordable child care. We need urgent action on this issue so families and businesses can come back even stronger. Jacky will keep doing everything she can to ensure more working families have access to the hig...
