Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice

Image
  Dear Robert, We are witnessing the beginning of a historic movement. People are peacefully taking to the streets with calls for justice for the Black lives lost at the hands of law enforcement. They are demanding accountability and reform in order to address the systemic racism in our society.    I’m determined to operate my campaign with the same level of accountability and transparency that we are seeking in our systems. That’s why we’re making a pledge to fight for racial justice.    As a Black woman in elected office, race has been at the forefront of everything I’ve done. I owe it to myself, my family, and my community to make sure that my campaign is representative, equitable, and empowering the Black community. These are not simply performative words.   Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice and learn more about how you can help .   There is a deep need to address racial equity in politics and we are creating actionable items that will he...

Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund raised more money than Karl Rove’s three organizations combined!

Image
Dear Patriot, The first elections of the critical 2014 midterms are just weeks away.  Republican voters across the country will go to the polls to select their candidate for the important November elections. Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is already on the ground, working with activists across the country, to ensure that we have conservative majorities in the House and Senate. Our Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Team was recently in  South Carolina , sharing with activists the results of polling and message testing of voters in the state. "The actions the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund has already taken were a big boost to our activists' enthusiasm," Debbie Jones, with the Mt. Pleasant 9-12 Project, said in an email after the event. In the coming weeks, we will provide training so that thousands of activists in the state have the tools they need to go out and talk to their neighbors about the election. "The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is the only ...

Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel

  FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel -The Associated Press “President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals,” Deb Riechmann and Matthew Lee report. “Sudan had demonstrated its commitment in battling terrorism. ‘This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan,’” President Trump said.   🎬  BREAKING :  Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace! Tech Censorship Is on a Dangerous Path -The Daily Signal “The titans of social media, [Jack] Dorsey at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, lead their companies the way China does. These men want to control what the public sees, which enables them to better monitor and, ultimately, influence every aspect of society and life,” Armstrong Williams writes. “It is hard to imagine a more insidious effort to subvert freedom of speech, ex...

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...

Bernie: Midnight Madness starts Now!

Image
As the clock ticks toward midnight, we’re pretty close to reaching a pair of milestones we frankly didn’t think would be possible on day one. First, we’re just short of 350,000 signatures from people saying they support Bernie’s campaign for president. That’s 35% percent of the way to goal. You’re one of them, Robert. Amazing. Thank you. But what we didn’t expect is that more than 140,000 people would donate as well. Reaching 150,000 donations before midnight would send a pretty powerful message about the strength of our movement. If you are able to chip in $3, we’re going to do it! And we’re so close it could be your contribution that gets us there. Use this link: https://act.berniesanders.com/go/support-our-campaign Thanks for making day one such a success.

Ben: Candy and I first met at Yale.

Image
robert, Candy and I celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Monday. It has been an amazing forty years. We celebrated it in Nashua, NH while we were on our New Hampshire campaign swing this week. A massive crowd of 650 gathered with us Monday night to hear our friend Tony Orlando sing some of his classic songs. The only thing larger than the crowd was the cake -- it was huge. Our whole event was covered by New Hampshire's  WMUR , and you can see their great story on it below. Candy and I first met at Yale. We are both from Detroit but Yale brought us together. We could never have predicted the course of our journey through life. I can tell you we never expected to be on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. I've spent my whole life tending to children. Children are the mission of our foundation. My entire campaign is about rebuilding the American Dream for all of our children and grandchildren. I'm running for President of the United States because of our ded...

Kirsten: The stakes are too high this November to let elections be wrongly decided.

Image
Robert, The right to vote is as American as it gets – more even than baseball and apple pie. Which makes some state Republicans’ efforts to systematically disenfranchise minority and elderly voters unconscionable.  GOP extremists are pushing voter ID laws, purges of eligible voters and shorter polling hours. And, by overturning a key section of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court made it easier for states to enact anti-voter laws. Enough. I’m joining with the Democratic Governors Association to tackle this from all angles – in Congress, where I’m partnering with Rep. John Lewis to pass a legislative fix, and in GOP-controlled states, where the most egregious anti-voter tactics are being deployed. Send the message right now that we will do whatever it takes to overcome attacks on our democracy. Click here to join the DGA and me by adding your name to the growing chorus of Americans calling for expanded voting rights. My Voter Empowerment Act would expand...

I urge everyone to get the vaccine if you need or want it.

Image
  Robert,   The left has gone completely COVID crazy.   They want government-enforced shutdowns, mask mandates, school closures, forced vaccines, and now they're talking about a COVID vaccine passport.   It's absolutely unconstitutional - not to mention, it's absurd. I AGREE: CHIP IN NOW TO STAND UP>> A Democrat politician famously said,  “never let a crisis go to waste.”   Boy, did this pandemic really see them put their shoulder into that old axiom.   Throughout the COVID crisis, these radicals have embraced theatrics, abandoned science, and the longer it goes on, the more they double down.    The newest power grab comes in the form of an alleged “Vaccine Passport” which would determine whether or not you’re “ALLOWED” to engage in your everyday life.   Want to go to the store? Show your vaccine card.   Want to go to a restaurant or concert? Did you tell the government what vaccines you’ve had?   Want to travel? VACCINE ...

Rick: Attacking a veteran's service is a core part of Republican's playbook.

Image
robert - Jeb Bush wants to have it both ways. He was pretty quick to attack Donald Trump for his despicable attacks on John McCain's service, but actually wrote a letter THANKING the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in 2005. "As someone who truly understands the risk of standing up for something, I simply cannot express in words how much I value their willingness to stand up against John Kerry"  - Jeb Bush letter to a Swift Boat Veteran supporter on January 19, 2005 Attacking a veteran's service is a core part of Republican's playbook. It's no wonder where Donald Trump got the idea from. Well, VoteVets wasn't around to defend John Kerry in 2004. But we had Tammy Duckworth's back when her service was attacked in 2012, and again in 2014. And we're ready to stand with progressive veterans when the attacks come in 2016. Contribute $3 to VoteVets and help us elect a new generation of progressive veteran leadership to the United States Senate. Thanks...
