Stephanie: the boys' political games

Robert, 
I know it doesn't seem like much gets done in Washington these days.

But when it does, you can usually thank the women of the Senate. Like Senator Amy Klobuchar said:

“During a time when Congress is synonymous with gridlock and obstructionism, the women are showing we can move past the partisanship, roll up our sleeves and get things done.”

If even one Democratic woman loses her Senate seat this year, it becomes so much tougher to keep fighting for women and families in Washington.

EMILY's List needs your help -- and the help of 17 more people in Indiana right now -- to help women like Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kay Hagan win in November. Make a $5 contribution to EMILY's List by midnight tomorrow night.

We're not in Washington to play the boys' political games -- we're here to work. Thanks for making that possible.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice

  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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...
