Bill Halter: I want you to be in the loop right away


Robert --

I'm sharing some exciting news next week about the campaign and our big ideas for Arkansas, and I want you to be the first to know.

Follow me on Facebook to make sure you hear the news straight away.

Our team is working hard on the issues that Arkansans care about, but without a strong network of folks like you behind us to help spread the word, we'll only get so far. You all -- our grassroots supporters -- are going to determine the outcome of this race.

So, as often as possible, I want you to be in the loop right away when there's news or an important announcement about the campaign, and one of the best ways to do that is also one of the simplest.

Thanks, stay tuned,

Bill

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

  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...

vast resources to buy influence in elections.

“They're using our members, and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous.” -- Speaker John Boehner, 12/11/2013 Robert, The "they" Speaker Boehner was talking about are special interest groups like Americans for Prosperity. He was referencing their attempts to manipulate legislation, but we all know what these groups are best at --  using their vast resources to buy influence in elections. The Koch brothers. Karl Rove. Since  Citizens United , these guys have become household names. Combined, their affiliated special interest groups spent more than $212 million in the 2012 elections -- and they've already got a decent start on the 2014 elections, too. We need a dedicated, concerted effort if we're going to end the effects of  Citizens United . When my friend Russ Feingold started Progressives United with the purpose of fighting back against outsid...

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...

Jon: Let it go to waste

Image
robert - President Obama is right: many of the same voices urging the United States to reject the deal with Iran in favor of a military approach were some of the loudest voices in favor of war with Iraq. Congress is home for recess now, and we need to make sure they hear your voice before returning to D.C. to take a vote. So far over 100,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters have taken action on this issue - add your name to theirs today:  Tell Congress: vote for the negotiated deal that is our best chance to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon The vote can go either way at this point so every Representative and every Senator that comes out in favor of the deal is a major victory. We have a very unique voice in this debate. It'd be a real shame to let it go to waste. Thanks for adding your name, Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran and Chairman VoteVets

Jeanne: one of the most endangered Democratic senators

Image
Robert – Just days after CNBC ranked me as one of the most endangered Democratic senators in the entire country, Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee called me one of their  top targets  in the 2020 election.  They know that passing their extremist agenda – from rolling back health care access to attacking women's rights – hinges on flipping New Hampshire from blue to red. So they're going to do whatever it takes to defeat me. That's why this is so incredible: To help us fight back and defend New Hampshire's Senate seat, a generous group of donors just offered to DOUBLE every donation we receive until midnight. This is the first match opportunity we've had this campaign, and we don't know when – or if – another will come around again, so I'm counting on you to donate immediately to help us protect this seat and take back the Senate:  Please, rush $5 or more now before our midnight deadline and have it DOUBLED to pro...

Please bless the soldier who has passed from our midst, but never ever from our hearts. Amen

Image
Dear Black Independent,  Americans have taken a turn over the last few years from mindless to mindful celebration of our holidays. On Memorial Day, we do not distract ourselves from the deeper meaning of the day, but rather allow ourselves to take in the full weight of its significance. On this day every year, we remember those who throughout our history have lost their lives serving in the US military. For centuries, since our earliest beginnings, there have been those who lay down their lives for this country. Some of them are remembered for who they were while they were alive, while some have names and lives that have been lost and forgotten, buried beneath the sands of time. On this Memorial day, we remember them all. In our hearts, we honor them and thank them. We stop to consider the blessing of our many liberties, and those who died in an effort to protect them. May their souls receive our gratitude, and the blessing of the prayers that we say for them this ...

Historic Victory at Standing Rock Calls for Celebration and Vigilance For the last eight months, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has led a historic campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), uniting hundreds of tribes, environmentalists, veterans and other activists inspired by their bold stand in defense of native treaty rights and the environment.   On Sunday, millions of people around the world celebrated news that the Army Corps of Engineers had rejected an easement to allow DAPL to go forward. This was an enormous victory for the movement and for ordinary people everywhere in the struggle against Big Oil and naked corporate greed. I congratulate and thank these courageous indigenous people and all others who rallied behind their cause, including the veteran activists who came to strengthen the camp in the days preceding the Army Corps’ ruling. It is these thousands of ordinary people, not the Obama Administration, who deserve praise for this victor...

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.
