Ben: "Can somebody attack me, please?", Oh right, Liberal Media can't take a Joke.

Carson America, Inc.

Robert,

Sadly, last night's debate was once again defined by personal attacks and hostile rhetoric.

In order to get more speaking time, I jokingly asked, "Can somebody attack me, please?"

From taxes to religious liberty to the future of the U.S. Supreme Court, I remained focused on offering my vision for a better, more hopeful America because that's what this race is all about.

It's not about me, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich as individuals -- it's about the American people and the type of future we must build together.

I am absolutely committed to this race because I remain convinced that there is still a place in presidential politics for civility, positivity and common-sense solutions.
Remember, our goal is not just to defeat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

Our goal is to inspire and rally the American people around a positive vision of freedom, safety and opportunity for all. We will never be successful by tearing each other apart.

That simple message is what I will focus on as we approach "Super Tuesday" on March 1st.

Remember, 12 states will be voting and a whopping 595 delegates -- nearly 25 percent of the total number -- will be rewarded. Without a strong showing, it's going to be very tough for my campaign moving forward, so I ask you to help us break through.

I know we've been asking a lot, but the easiest way you can help is by making a donation of just $2 or more. We've seen an incredible outpouring of support over the past few days and we must keep it going. I promise you it adds up and makes a difference.

At this point, less than 5 percent of the delegates have been selected. Many of the pundits are beginning to declare this race over, but that is not up to them to decide.

My entire life has been about defying the odds and doing what I was told could never be done. There's too much at stake to allow the talking heads to get us down and pack it in.

So please, donate just $2 or more to help us carry my positive message of "Heal, Inspire, Revive" to every state set to vote on "Super Tuesday." There's only a few days to go.

We have a big opportunity before us. Let's face it with courage, resolve, and faith in our values.

Sincerely,

Ben Carson

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

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...

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 ...

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: concrete framework for tax reform.

Click here to open this e-mail in its own browser window     Click here to open a plain text version of this email CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) Today is a big day.  Today, the House, the Senate, and the Trump administration unified behind a concrete framework for tax reform. This is the first step forward to fixing our broken tax code—which hasn’t been done in over thirty years. We are cutting taxes. And we want you to have more jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks.  I want to personally send you the  full framework  .  You will hear a lot about our plan,  but these are the facts  : Lowers Rates for Individuals and Families The framework shrinks the current seven tax brackets into three – 12%, 25% and 35% – with the potential for an additional top rate for the highest-income taxpayers to ensure that the wealthy do not contribute a lower share of taxes paid than they do today.   Doubles the S...

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...

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...

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...
