Stephanie Schriock: he's taking aim at Roe v. Wade.

It makes me so angry I could scream: North Dakota. Arkansas. Virginia. Kansas. It only took three months of the new year for right-wing extremists in these states to launch an unprecedented set of attacks on women's rights.

robert,

It makes me so angry I could scream: North Dakota. Arkansas. Virginia. Kansas. It only took three months of the new year for right-wing extremists in these states to launch an unprecedented set of attacks on women's rights.

Just yesterday, the Governor of North Dakota signed into law the country's most severe restrictions on a woman's right to choose -- and brazenly admitted that he's taking aim at Roe v. Wade.

We can't sit by and watch it happen. I'll fight until I can't stand up anymore. But I need you glued to my side. The War on Women is here, it's as dangerous as ever, and EMILY's List is suiting up to fight back.

Contribute immediately to the EMILY's List Rapid Response Fund and help hold the GOP accountable for its renewed War on Women. All gifts before midnight on March 31 will be matched 2-to-1!

How do we fight back? We send a message to the men recklessly making these laws. We show them just how dedicated we are to women's leadership. We elect more pro-choice Democratic women governors to stop these right-wing attacks in the states.

We have the strength and the women candidates. We have the community and the passion. And right now, we can triple the response we send to the GOP's newest attacks, but only if you contribute to our Rapid Response Fund before midnight Sunday!

I know we ask a lot. But we just can't afford to sit it out. The consequences are just too dire. Thanks for everything you do.

Stephanie

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 ...

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.

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...

  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...

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...

Jenny Beth Martin: We’re not going to simply sit in Washington

Dear Patriot, Just a few days ago, we announced our  grassroots-powered ,  boots-on-the-ground  strategy to defeat big government incumbents all over America this year. And we are on the cusp of unveiling our list of endorsed Tea Party candidates for 2014. But before we can do that, we need your support to secure the funding that will push these candidates to victory! Please, make your very best contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford to the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund right now, and help us gear up for this year’s critical battles in Kentucky, South Carolina, and elsewhere. You see, as we announced earlier this week, the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is already huddling with activists on the ground in  South Carolina , looking for an alternative to big-spending establishment Republican Lindsey Graham . And in  Kentucky , we are already coordinating with local Tea Party activists who have lost faith in the weak-kneed R...

vast resources to buy influence in elections.

Image
“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...
