Carly: change little, help no one, and fix nothing

Image
Robert, Hillary Clinton gave an economic speech on Monday—where she basically promised to change little, help no one, and fix nothing if she becomes President of the United States. Instead, Hillary wants to offer you and me more of the same: more of the same lousy liberal "solutions" that have been failing the American people for the past 8 years. You know what they say: insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.  So I think it's safe to say that Hillary's plan to continue the failed economic policies of Barack Obama is, by that definition, insane. After 8 years of Obama, nearly 100 million Americans don't have jobs. Millions more Americans are collecting welfare from the government. And, for years, we've seen more small businesses close their doors than open them. It's an economy that maybe works if you're Hillary Clinton, and you make hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 30 minut...

The Revolution of Reason is on. Nothing will stop us.

Image
Friend -- February was the best month ever for our campaign—we received donations from 34,025 different people for a total of $570,954.82!  The average donation was $16.78.  That’s incredible.  THANK YOU for making it happen.  We raised as much as many other major candidates for the month.   Aside from the raw numbers, which are staggering, here’s another reason I am excited.  I received this message hundreds of times via social media:  “You are the first political candidate I have ever donated to.”   This message is important.  It’s become a constant drumbeat.  And it means that we are poised to do great things. I had a meeting last week with a social psychology professor named Jonathan Haidt.  He wrote a book called  The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion .  He also worked on a report called Hidden Tribes that came out recently. ...

Jon: Let it go to waste

Image
robert - President Obama is right: many of the same voices urging the United States to reject the deal with Iran in favor of a military approach were some of the loudest voices in favor of war with Iraq. Congress is home for recess now, and we need to make sure they hear your voice before returning to D.C. to take a vote. So far over 100,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters have taken action on this issue - add your name to theirs today:  Tell Congress: vote for the negotiated deal that is our best chance to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon The vote can go either way at this point so every Representative and every Senator that comes out in favor of the deal is a major victory. We have a very unique voice in this debate. It'd be a real shame to let it go to waste. Thanks for adding your name, Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran and Chairman VoteVets

Patrick: Womens March in Vermont

Image
Robert, This morning, Marcelle and I were proud to see how many Vermonters travelled all the way to Washington to participate in the Women’s March on Washington. And we were so pleased to see so many gather for a similar march in Montpelier this afternoon. It was an honor to join together with many thousands of women and men gathered to proclaim loudly that women’s rights are human rights -- and to make a strong statement a day after the inauguration of Donald Trump. By coming together today, Americans of all gender identities, races, faiths, sexual orientations, and immigration statuses sent a powerful message that we will continue fighting for women's rights, to protect our communities, and for progress on the issues that matter. Today, I stand in solidarity with marchers in Washington, Vermont, and across the nation. If you were able to march today,  thank you  for standing up and making your voice heard. If you weren’t able to attend a march yourself, jo...

Jon: More War

Image
robert - With his poll numbers flagging and prominent Republicans calling for his retirement, Senator Mark Kirk is pinning his re-election campaign against Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth on a simple premise: More war. In an effort to scare up campaign cash, Senator Kirk, maybe more than any other senator, has dragged the Iran debate through the mud with bombastic proclamations designed to terrify the American people into opposing the diplomacy-first approach endorsed by our diplomats, negotiators, nuclear scientists, and many of our strongest allies throughout the world. But he would do well to re-acquiant himself with Congressman Kirk, who had a much more nuanced view diplomacy when he occupied a safer seat in the run-up to the Iraq War (another war he supported).    “ In my own experience, war has taught me to be the best friend of our State Department, a place where diplomacy is the preferred course of action.” - Congressman Mark Kirk 2002      ...

no Democratic Senate majority without Jeanne Shaheen

Image
  robert, the most important race happening in 2020 isn’t the race for the White House. It’s the race for Senate control. The future of everything we care about – from health care and voting rights to the Supreme Court – will depend on who holds the Senate majority after this election. That’s why I’m writing to you today. Everyone from FiveThirtyEight to Roll Call is saying that Democrats cannot take back the Senate if we lose in New Hampshire. That’s why Republicans have named my colleague Jeanne Shaheen a top target –  and why GOP outside groups are dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into New Hampshire to try and stop her. After Mitch McConnell's right-wing group launched their first round of attack ads against her, Jeanne needs your help more than ever. She has to raise another $10,000 before midnight to protect this seat, but so far she’s coming up short. robert, there will be no Democratic Senate majority without Jeanne Shaheen. But she can’t win if we miss goals li...

Bob: stop attacking women’s health programs

Robert – They’re at it again:  Right now, Republicans are trying to defund Planned Parenthood. The GOP and their anti-choice groups are spreading vicious lies about what Planned Parenthood does.  Make no mistake: This is nothing more than Republicans seizing on falsehoods as an excuse to attack a woman’s constitutional right to choose. Let's look at the facts: 1 in 5 women in America have visited a Planned Parenthood clinic 90% of the care Planned Parenthood provides is preventative, including cancer screenings and wellness exams Planned Parenthood provides essential health services to millions of women, and right now we need to stand up so women, no matter where they live in the United States, can access those services. Will you join me in signing our petition telling Republicans to stop attacking women’s health programs and trying to defund Planned Parenthood?

SarahPac: if it were not for Sarah Palin and her leadership

Image
Dear Friend,  In order to secure conservative victories, we must all come together to help elect strong, conservative candidates . SarahPAC and our supporters have done just that and we’re sharing this movie,  "Building America’s Future"  with you that details the impact Governor Palin and SarahPAC have made across America,  and none of this would have been possible without you .  Founded in 2009, SarahPAC supports real, conservative candidates who are leading the fight to restore America.  With SarahPAC, Governor Palin helped jump start the momentum behind Joni Ernst’s U.S. Senate campaign ultimately allowing Republicans to take back control of the Senate.  Ted Cruz himself said that he would have been elected to the U.S. Senate if it were not for Sarah Palin and her leadership with SarahPAC. We’ve gathered these stories–of races that have changed the political landscape and swung our country back...

Julian: ¡Juntos ganaremos! Together, we will win!

Elizabeth and I share a bold vision for the future — an America where no matter who you are or where you live, you can find good housing, your kids can get a good education, and you can have good job opportunities. I've seen firsthand her commitment to this vision. We both served in the Obama administration, we worked alongside one another to boost housing opportunity while I was at HUD, and I've been so impressed with how hardworking and groundbreaking her campaign has been. Elizabeth knows that big change doesn't come by playing it safe or doing it alone. We need a grassroots movement to take on the special interests in Washington, and a president who will push for big, structural change. Elizabeth has a plan for that, and I'm ready to join her to get it done.  But making Washington work for working people is going to take a grassroots movement. Please chip in $2 or whatever you can today to make a difference in these critical final weeks before caucusing and voting ...
