Bob: 22 million

Menendez for Senate | www.menendezfornj.com
Robert,
The Big-Oil Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity Super PAC has already spent $22 million this cycle. They’re desperate to take the Senate from Democrats, and three men named Mark are standing in their path.
If we’re going to keep the Senate, these are the three men we have to stand beside for reelection. And fast – before the critical March 31 FEC deadline.
The House Republican majority has voted against women’s rights, refused to hold a vote on bipartisan immigration reform – and just last year, shut down our government. We cannot let them control the Senate, too.
Donate directly to Senators Warner, Udall and Begich – if they can’t overcome the Kochs’ lies, we’ll lose the Senate.
Make sure your images are enabled!
When you see what these candidates are up against and think about what’s at stake, which is everything we value, it’s clear supporting them is the best investment we can make this cycle.
Stand with me today to protect our majority by donating directly to these great senators before March 31. Right now.
Thank you,
Bob

A big vision without a plan is just a fantasy.

  Our next big end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is coming up on Wednesday. Grassroots donors like you are powering the fight for big, structural change. Chip in $3 or whatever makes sense right now to help re-elect Elizabeth and put more Warren Democrats in office across the country — and we’ll send you a free “End the filibuster” sticker as a thank you for your support.   DONATE NOW A big vision without a plan is just a fantasy. Exciting, but little more than a wisp that eventually blows away. A plan is the first step on the journey to making a vision real. As COVID-19 has shown, we need plans that will ensure our health and safety — careful plans that are patiently developed and refined, day by day, out of the spotlight. We need road-tested plans that are ready to roll out even when no one is sick, even when wildfires aren’t raging and hurricanes aren’t blowing in, even when our economy isn’t on the brink of collapse. That’s why we’ve not only laid out our vision to cance...

Paul: 50 years of fighting poverty the old way to no success means we need a better way

Image
CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) Fighting Poverty on the Front Lines Our country is all about striving, but too many of our people are stuck. Over the years, Washington has made many promises, created many programs, and spent many trillions to fight poverty. Yet today in America, if you are raised poor, you are just as likely to stay poor as you were 50 years ago. No amount of government intervention—no matter how well-intentioned—can replace the great drivers of daily life: our talents and aspirations, our neighbors and loved ones, our communities and places of worship. We are all in this fight together, and we need an approach which reflects that shared responsibility. We don’t have to settle for people trapped in poverty and deprivation. There is   a better way  to fight poverty. Earlier today,  Paul spoke with WBEL’s Stan Milam  about the House plan to tackle major problems, called   A Better Way: Our Vision for a Confide...

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...

Jenny: out-hustle "Team Mitch"

Image
Dear Patriot, If we don't help Constitutional conservative Matt Bevin win the Kentucky primary in a few weeks, RINO Mitch McConnell could  cost us the Senate majority . For that very reason, the  Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund  has made  Matt Bevin's  campaign one of our very top priorities this year. We must raise  $ 100,000  as soon as possible to help push Matt to victory, along with Tea Party candidates across America! Please make your most generous contribution of $15, $25, $50, or whatever you can possibly afford right away to help us get involved on the ground in this critical race. We have only a few weeks left before the Kentucky primary! Mitch McConnell's campaign is an absolute  disaster  right now. It's so bad that a local Kentucky paper recently asked, " Is Mitch McConnell  trying  to lose? " This RINO has attacked his own voting base, claiming that he wants to  " punch "  Tea Party conse...

The Alliance: Counter to Obama's Foreign Policy

Image
Dear Friend, The last few days have been incredibly successful for the Alliance for a Strong America. Americans all across the nation are standing with us as we fight back against President Obama's failed policies and the crumbling Obama Doctrine. Recently,  The Washington Post's  Jennifer Rubin published a profile of Vice President Cheney, Liz, and the mission of the Alliance and we thought you'd enjoy giving it a read: Dick and Liz Cheney Act To Counter Obama's Failed Foreign Policy Article Appeared in  The Washington Post , June 18, 2014 By Jennifer Rubin Former vice president Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz have seen quite enough of the Obama administration's foreign policy debacles. Rather than simply take to the airwaves, they have decided to do something about it and about the political environment concerning national security. The Cheneys' press release announces: "the formation and launch of The Alliance for a Strong America, a 501(c)4...

Cory: promise of opportunity.

Image
Robert, In January, 250,000 New Jersey families got a much-needed raise when our state's minimum wage increase kicked in. Why can't we give a raise to workers across the country? Well, this week the Senate is debating a federal minimum wage bill that would raise the minimum wage nationwide to $10.10 an hour. This change would affect millions of people, improving lives, making families stronger, and boosting our economy by increasing demand for goods and services. Yet we're hearing the same wrong-headed excuses from critics who say helping out the lowest wage earners will hurt the economy. To push back against this opposition and build momentum for a nationwide increase, I'm partnering with Senator Mark Udall and Progressives United to show as much support as possible for this crucial legislation. Join me, Mark Udall, Progressives United members, and thousands of fellow supporters today. Sign our joint petition telling Congress to act now to raise the m...

Hillary Clinton Re: Renewed Hope

Image
  Dear Robert, We did it! In this incredible year, we have changed our politics, our country and our nation! And I could not be more proud or more grateful to you for sharing this journey with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you have done, for me, for Barack Obama , and for all our Democratic candidates, to make these successes possible. I know that President-Elect Barack Obama will lead our country in the new direction we need. And with the great success of our House and Senate candidates, we can make our agenda a reality. But make no mistake -- our work is not done! I will be doing everything I can in the Senate, working closely with the White House on the goals you and I set out. With President Obama and our strengthened majorities in Congress, we can get our economy back on track. We're going to make sure every man, woman, and child in America has health care. With smart, effective new policies, we will move toward energy inde...

Barack: Obama Presidential Center is coming...

Image
Dear friends,  When Michelle and I first began thinking about what the Obama Presidential Center could be, one thing was clear to us both: We didn't want to build only a monument to the past—we wanted to build a Center for the future. We hoped to create a place that would nurture and inspire the young people who walked its halls and played in its parks. A place that would invigorate the community that gave us so much. A place that could anchor Chicago as a destination for anyone who wanted to make a difference.  That's why what happened this week is such a big victory. After a thorough review, a judge dismissed a lawsuit against the City of Chicago that sought to prevent the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park. It's a win that will benefit the whole city.  The campus we've got planned will be far more than a museum—it will be a tribute to Chicago's rich history, its defining legacy of progress, and its extraordinarily bright future. I...

Mark Pryor: This is a promise we need to keep.

Image
Robert, America was built on a promise that with honest, hard work comes a chance to earn a decent living and support our families. This is a promise we need to keep. That’s why I’m supporting the ballot initiative to raise Arkansas’ minimum wage to $8.50 an hour. It has been more than seven years since the state minimum wage was raised – years that included the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, even as the cost of living continued to climb. Raising the minimum wage is simply the right thing to do.  I’m proud to be working with Give Arkansas a Raise Now, the interfaith alliance spearheading this effort, but we need you with us. Will you add your voice to ours and sign the petition supporting this critical issue? Click here to show your support for giving Arkansas a raise. Stand with the hundreds of thousands of Arkansas families who work hard and deserve a fighting chance at the American Dream. No Arkansan should be forced to choose between feed...

Tom: cut down on pollution and create jobs

Image
I’ll tell you why I am. My name is Tom Conway, Jr. and I’m working to build connections between the labor and environmental movements because it is the best way to create real, sustainable change in America. It all comes down to priorities, and our country’s first priority should be providing the opportunity for everyone to make a good living in a community in which their family can be safe and healthy. I’m one of several Regional Program Managers for the BlueGreen Alliance working in states around the country to find common-sense solutions for America’s environmental problems that will also create economic opportunity for all Americans. Will you pledge to support my work and the work of the BlueGreen Alliance Foundation on Giving Tuesday, December 2? My co-workers and I focus on getting things done that will cut down on pollution and create jobs—like reducing methane leaks in natural gas distribution systems; calling for programs that make our homes and workplaces more ...
