Raj: deal with Iran over its nuclear weapons capabilities jeopardizes our national security. Period.

Robert,

Today's deal with Iran over its nuclear weapons capabilities jeopardizes our national security. Period.

Obama's endless negotiations and postponements have resulted in a reckless deal that gives Iran the upper hand.

It's time for a president who makes our national security a priority.

What we have right now isn't leadership. It's an irresponsible and reckless deal that places American interests on the backburner.

Speak up if you agree. Sign our petition today to prevent a nuclear Iran.

Thanks,

Raj Shah

Mia: personal touch

Image
Mia listed as one of five most interesting Republican candidates in 2014 Utah's 4th district considered most likely district to switch to the GOP Mia's Message This is a story I tell frequently in speeches to illustrate what I call "the power of personal touch." One day a little girl attended a San Diego Padres baseball game with her father. More than anything, she wanted to catch a fly ball. She was so animated that those in the stands paid more attention to her than to the action on the field. After a little while, the girl’s father suggested that they move to the next section over, where no one else was sitting. Shortly after relocating, a fly ball was hit right into the seats where they had just been sitting. A young man caught the ball. Without hesitation, and with the stadium's JumboTron fixed on him, he ran over to the little girl and handed her the ball. The excited little girl blew him a kiss as he walked away. After the game, the ...

Jacky: “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.”

Image
Robert, “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.” According to investigators from the inspector general’s office, these are just a few of the many heart-wrenching reports of anxiety and post-traumatic stress they are receiving from children separated from their parents by the Trump Administration’s inhumane immigration policies. These children have been irreversibly harmed and will be dealing with the impacts for their rest of their lives. We must continue to speak out and fight back for the children who have been affected by President Trump’s horrifying family separation policies. Add your name now. It is totally unacceptable that children in U.S. custody are not receiving the proper care and treatment they need. From a lack of basic hygiene items like soap to necessary health care services like the flu vaccine, we’ve seen report after report confirming the cruelty these children are experiencing on our government’s watch. These children mu...

A big vision without a plan is just a fantasy.

Image
  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...

Hon. Marilyn: fighting for babies and their mothers.

Dear robert, I wanted to update you on the incredible progress we are making to protect life across the country. Thanks to the leadership of the members of our National Pro-Life Women’s Caucus we are seeing a flurry of momentum at the state level. In  Kentucky , State Representative Addia Wuchner is sponsoring a long-overdue limit on abortion after five months.   In  South Carolina , State Representatives Wendy Nanney and Donna Hicks have led the effort on a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which is only awaiting a final vote in the House of Representative before going to the Governor’s desk.   And in  South Dakota , State Senator Jenna Haggar was a lead author of the state’s Pain-Capable bill, which passed on Monday of this week and was  signed into law by Governor Daugaard just this morning! Below is a chart from our research arm, the Charlotte Lozier Institue, which shows the states that have passed late-term abortion limits so fa...

Kirsten: two fabulous women

Image
Dear Robert, I know your inbox probably feels crowded right now, so I want to help cut through the clutter by telling you about a ten-time marathon runner and a PTA president – two fabulous women who truly deserve your attention: My friend Kyrsten Sinema won her first Congressional race in 2012 by fewer than 10,000 votes. She’s proven herself an ally on reducing student loan interest rates and supporting women’s right to choose, and she fought by my side on behalf of military sexual assault victims. Now, Kyrsten is running her first reelection campaign – the toughest race for a member to win – and she needs our help today. Gwen Graham is running her first campaign to reclaim a red seat and bring real change to the Florida panhandle. Inspired by her father, former Democratic Senator Bob Graham, she has forged her own path as a tireless advocate for public education, serving as PTA president and in-house attorney in her local schools. North Florida desperately needs her afte...

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.

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...

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...

Pulin and the Change.org team: Thanks for being a change-maker

Dear National Black, Last week, public outcry forced Amazon.com to pull over one hundred whale and dolphin meat products from its Japanese site. Consumers were outraged that the world's largest online retailer supported the killing of whales and dolphins -- and Amazon.com listened. But now, Amazon.com is refusing to put a permanent ban in place to protect these animals in the future. Melissa Sehgal, an Amazon.com customer, is in Taiji, Japan -- the site of an annual dolphin hunt that was exposed in the documentary The Cove. Every day she is witnessing how dolphins are captured and killed, and she wants Amazon.com to help stop it. That's why Melissa started a petition calling on Amazon to never again sell meat from dolphins and whales. Click here to sign Melissa's petition asking Amazon.com to permanently ban whale, dolphin, and porpoise meat from its sites. Tens of thousands of dolphins, whales and porpoises are captured and killed for their meat every year in Japan. The me...

Ruben: I'm standing

Robert - I deployed to Iraq as a United States Marine in 2005. I cleared houses, fought insurgents, and lost friends. Not too long after I returned, I signed up to serve as VoteVets' Arizona State Captain. When i decided to run for State Representative, VoteVets was there for me. And that support continued through my recent election to the U.S. House of Representatives. My story is not entirely unique: VoteVets has helped elect dozens of veteran leaders at all levels of government. And this year, they face their biggest challenge yet: electing Tammy Duckworth and Jason Kander to the U.S. Senate. I'm standing with VoteVets in that effort, and I hope you'll join me. Make a $5 contribution to VoteVets today. What's more, even after the final vote was counted last November, we've continued to work together on issues like debt-free college and keeping our communities safer from gun violence. When it comes to electing and organizing veterans to advance progressi...
