Team Katie: Pennsylvania would have its first-ever woman Senator

A lot of people are watching our race, Friend.

Our opponents have seen the overwhelming support Katie has received since launching her campaign, and they’re running scared.

Club for Growth, the extreme GOP fundraising powerhouse where Pat Toomey used to serve as president, has named Pennsylvania as one of their top targets for 2016. They’re willing to spend whatever it takes to keep this Senate seat in Republican hands.

Hitting our first month goal is even more important than we’d thought. In the weeks since announcing her candidacy, 550 people have stepped up to donate to Katie's race -- but we’re still short of where we need to be.

This is all hands on deck -- Katie needs you now. Contribute $5 now.

Imagine this: Katie wins this election and the Democrats take back the majority in the Senate. Pennsylvania would have its first-ever woman Senator, and we’d have a champion for good jobs, equal rights, and our environment.

With your help, we’ll make that happen. We can’t afford to fall short, because Pennsylvania can’t handle another 6 years of Pat Toomey.

Chip in now to help Katie meet her first month goal.

Thanks,

Team Katie

Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel

  FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS Trump: Sudan to Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel -The Associated Press “President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals,” Deb Riechmann and Matthew Lee report. “Sudan had demonstrated its commitment in battling terrorism. ‘This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan,’” President Trump said.   🎬  BREAKING :  Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace! 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. These men want to control what the public sees, which enables them to better monitor and, ultimately, influence every aspect of society and life,” Armstrong Williams writes. “It is hard to imagine a more insidious effort to subvert freedom of speech, ex...

Kirsten: The stakes are too high this November to let elections be wrongly decided.

Image
Robert, The right to vote is as American as it gets – more even than baseball and apple pie. Which makes some state Republicans’ efforts to systematically disenfranchise minority and elderly voters unconscionable.  GOP extremists are pushing voter ID laws, purges of eligible voters and shorter polling hours. And, by overturning a key section of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court made it easier for states to enact anti-voter laws. Enough. I’m joining with the Democratic Governors Association to tackle this from all angles – in Congress, where I’m partnering with Rep. John Lewis to pass a legislative fix, and in GOP-controlled states, where the most egregious anti-voter tactics are being deployed. Send the message right now that we will do whatever it takes to overcome attacks on our democracy. Click here to join the DGA and me by adding your name to the growing chorus of Americans calling for expanded voting rights. My Voter Empowerment Act would expand...

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.

And in  Kentucky , we are already coordinating with local Tea Party activists who have lost faith in the weak-kneed R...

#YangGang: New York Times called him a longer-than-long-shot

Image
Friend -- We hope you’re as excited as we are about tomorrow night! Andrew’s recent growth in the polls has resulted in him being center-stage, not to mention qualifying for the September debates! Back when he first announced his campaign, the New York Times called him a longer-than-long-shot for the White House. Now, we're 6th in the polls and climbing fast. Celebrate with us with our Longer Than Long Shot Glass! Tomorrow night, Andrew will be presenting his vision for America next to members of Congress, sitting governors, and a former Vice President. While the other candidates are sure to trade barbs and attack each others’ records (they’ve been signalling it for weeks), Andrew will be focused on the problems facing Americans, and his big solutions to bring us through the greatest transformation our country has ever seen as automation replaces more and more workers. Also, get ready for his closing - he’ll be announcing a new project we’ve ...

vast resources to buy influence in elections.

Image
“They're using our members, and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous.” -- Speaker John Boehner, 12/11/2013 Robert, The "they" Speaker Boehner was talking about are special interest groups like Americans for Prosperity. He was referencing their attempts to manipulate legislation, but we all know what these groups are best at --  using their vast resources to buy influence in elections. The Koch brothers. Karl Rove. Since  Citizens United , these guys have become household names. Combined, their affiliated special interest groups spent more than $212 million in the 2012 elections -- and they've already got a decent start on the 2014 elections, too. We need a dedicated, concerted effort if we're going to end the effects of  Citizens United . When my friend Russ Feingold started Progressives United with the purpose of fighting back against outsid...

Stephanie: the largest resource for women in politics.

Image
If you haven’t heard from me before, Robert, I’m the president of EMILY’s List and it’s my job to ensure that our three million members and the resources of our organization are used most effectively to WIN campaigns and help change the face of power. EMILY’s List is the largest resource for women in politics. For 30 years, we’ve been electing progressive women up and down the ballot -- all across the country. We don’t just do it because we want a representative government (although that’s a pretty great reason!) -- we do it because we get better policy when more perspectives are heard at the decision-making table. Like, say, the perspective of a Latina who put herself through college working minimum wage jobs, helped her family rebuild after Hurricane Andrew, and became a fighter for Florida women and families. That’s why I’m so excited that EMILY’s List is endorsing and recommending that our members support Annette Taddeo in her campaign to represent South Florida in Congress....
