Hillary: Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization

Image
        Black Independent Party -- When my friend Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization, it was because we were blown away by the energy and commitment shown by activists -- new and old -- in the aftermath of the 2016 election. We asked ourselves: What can we do to help them? Onward Together was formed as a way to support and connect the groups that are doing the work that absolutely needs to be done right now -- from mobilizing voters to encouraging and training new activists to recruiting people who are ready to run for office themselves. In 2017, we partnered with 11 organizations headed up by by smart, passionate leaders. We offer funding and strategic advice, and connect them with resources.  And this spring, we finally had a chance to bring those leaders together in one place, and it was really something special. Take a moment to watch the video we've made celebrating our first Onward Together convening. The leaders who...

Elizabeth: We need the principles

Image
Robert, I first met Russ Feingold in the 1990s, back when I was teaching in law school. The big banks and credit card companies were trying to peddle a terrible bankruptcy bill in the Senate, and I was looking for help to stop it. It's not always easy to find people willing to stand up to big financial companies in Washington. Looking back, I imagine Russ probably could have used the hefty campaign contributions he would have gotten from the banking industry if he had ignored my calls. But that didn't matter to Russ. Even when the odds were against us, Russ joined the fight to stop that terrible bill -- and he didn't just passively sign on; he threw himself into the fight with energy and enthusiasm. He did it because it was the right thing to do. When Russ Feingold started Progressives United four years ago, I knew he'd keep taking on the big fights. So it's no surprise that today, Progressives United is one of the strongest grassroots organizations we ...

Guy Cecil: Republicans are dead wrong on this

Image
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are pushing the Blunt Amendment, a radical piece of legislation that would cannibalize health care reform by letting any employer deny any part of your heath care coverage due to “moral convictions.” Robert, this goes way beyond taking away birth control coverage. An employer could decide that they couldn’t shell out the money necessary for your expensive cancer treatment because of their "moral convictions," and you’d be out of luck. Their goal isn’t just to end contraception coverage. Their goal is to implode our entire health care system and strike a deadly blow to President Obama’s historic health care reform. Republicans are going to try to bring this to a vote as early as today. Before the vote, I need you and 49,999 other people who value health care reform to take a strong stand against the Blunt Amendment. Sign our petition, and stand strong against the Blunt Amendment. Employers shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose our h...

U.S Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit upheld Alabama's Photo Voter Identification Law,

  Don't want to receive anymore emails?  Unsubscribe     Dear Fellow American,   Nothing Judicial Watch does today would be possible without the  generous support  we receive from patriots like yourself.  And that's why I hope you will join our fight by making a tax-deductible donation to Judicial Watch right now .    Judicial Watch is winning critical courtroom battles and standing tall for the principle that "no one is above the law" including the latest:   Another major victory for election integrity!  The U.S Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit  upheld   Alabama's Photo Voter Identification Law , which was under constant attack by the Left. In a "friend of the court" brief your Judicial Watch and our friends at the Allied Education Foundation (AEF) successfully argued that these attacks were baseless. The plaintiffs' complaint was that the Alabama law violated the 14 th  and 15 th  Amendments to th...

Chuck: sides with corporations over workers.

Image
Robert, He sides with corporations over workers. He thinks employers should be able to decide whether or not a woman has access to abortion. He was nominated by someone whose campaign is currently under FBI investigation. And Republicans think we'll just let them appoint him to the highest court in the nation.  They're wrong. That's why I'm saying it loud and clear: If he can't get 60 votes he shouldn't be confirmed. A confirmation vote could be held soon -- and I need to know we have all the power we need behind us to stop Judge Gorsuch with everything we have. Join the opposition against this extreme nominee today and show you've got Democrats' backs in stopping this dangerous choice! If he cannot earn 60 votes after refusing to answer question after question after question with any substance, he should not be confirmed by the Senate. This is not the time to be silent -- resisting this administration means pulling out all the st...

Chris: Kennedy Family Values

Image
Robert, My uncle once wrote in a Presidential Executive Order that government contractors should  “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.”  He recognized the institutional and cultural barriers that many minorities faced at the time when trying to obtain employment, and how those barriers affected their upward mobility.  Today, President Trump and Jeff Sessions are attacking affirmative action and falsely alleging that these policies that work to help disadvantaged students discriminate against white students.    That is ridiculous. Trump’s false narrative is a slap in the face to higher education and students.   The university systems still greatly favor wealthy students. We see that plainly with the revelation that Trump’s son-in-law was able to attend an Ivy League university because his family ha...

Joe Biden will ban you... from the grocery store, from traveling to see your family

Image
  Robert,  Joe Biden wants you and me to carry around a  VACCINE PASSPORT … so we can “prove” our medical history whenever a business or government official demands it. To say this is unconstitutional is an understatement.  It’s  un-American. This much is clear: no one’s going to  give  us our freedoms back.  We have to TAKE them back . Will you help me lead this fight… by pitching in just $25 to support me and my work?   DONATE NOW For a year, our government has destroyed our economy, punished small businesses, denied our children an education, and alienated us from family and friends. Now,  they’re pressuring us to take a rushed, experimental vaccine. And if you don’t comply?  Joe Biden will ban you ... from the grocery store, from traveling to see your family, from going to restaurants and schools…  until you capitulate. This pandemic was never about keeping us safe.  This was about the far-Left grabbing more power than...
