White House: Things to know about Isil

THE WHITE HOUSE Five things you need to know about ISIL President Obama spoke to service men and women at MacDill Air Force Base yesterday about the U.S. strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL -- a terrorist organization that is killing innocent, unarmed civilians in both Iraq and Syria. ISIL, also known as ISIS or the Islamic State, is also responsible for the brutal murders of American journalists Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff. Here are the key points the President made yesterday regarding ISIL and our strategy to defeat their forces: 1. ISIL is threatening America and our allies. Our intelligence community has not yet detected specific plots from ISIL against our homeland, but they have repeatedly threatened our core interests, including our personnel, our embassies, our consulates, and our facilities in Iraq, Syria, and in the broader Middle East. "If left unchecked, they could pose a growing threat to the United States," he ...

we need to amp up the pressure on Senate Democrats

Black Independent Party, When asked recently about passing H.R. 1/S. 1, the historic voting rights legislation in Congress (also known as the For The People Act), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said this: “I would say the deadline for S. 1 is … probably by August or so. We’re consulting with experts. When is the latest that S. 1 can undo some of the despicable and frankly racist changes that some of these Republican legislatures have made?” That’s not only a deadline for passing critical voting protections for the entire country; it’s a deadline for getting rid of the filibuster — because we can’t pass S. 1 through the Senate without doing away with the archaic, racist filibuster. Justice Democrats has been working hard with progressive lawmakers and groups like Sunrise Movement to end the filibuster. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and several other Democrats have voiced support for getting rid of it. But the clock is ticking, and we need to amp up...

Dear Robert, On the newest episode of “Why Am I Telling You This?,” Stacey Abrams joined President Clinton for a conversation about the fight to protect and expand the right to vote; how we can repair and restore faith in democratic institutions, elections, and voting; and what we can all do to achieve real, meaningful change. This conversation was recorded as part of the 13th annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative University , hosted in partnership with Howard University.

Ben: step forward

gangsta rap, You've probably heard -- Louisiana's U.S. Senate race didn't end on Election Day. In fact, it is headed to a runoff election next month. Now, the Obama Democrats are putting everything they have left into a desperate, vengeful effort to lock Republicans out of a final, critical gain in the Senate -- and bring 3-term incumbent liberal Democrat Mary Landrieu and her 97% record of support for Barack Obama's disastrous agenda. The extra election takes place on December 6th -- just one month from now. To win, my friend and fellow physician Dr. Bill Cassidy needs all the help he can get. I urge you to step forward and support his runoff campaign by making a generous donation right away! Our work isn't done -- let's hammer the Harry Reid-Barack Obama Big Government Democrats some more! Help Bill win on December 6th -- support his extra innings fight for GOP victory today!!! Sincerely, Dr. Ben Carson P.S. -- December 6th is just weeks a...

Business as usual in our city changes

Business as usual in our city changes when we take deliberate actions to change the status quo. The city’s spending panel — which hands out millions upon millions of dollars to government contractors every week — had an opportunity today to invest in the diversity, equity and inclusion that will drive better outcomes for our city. Instead, in a vote of 4-1, my vote being the only dissenting one, the Board of Estimates rejected the opportunity. For four months, I have pushed the administration to reach for equity before waiving minority- and women-owned business participation on a lucrative, longstanding contract with Motorola to ensure ongoing telecommunication between our emergency responders was not disrupted. As city leaders, we have pledged to our residents time and time again that we will improve the city’s patterns and practices related to government contracting. Still, despite our ongoing conversations, promises of equity, pledges to reimagine the role government can play in clo...

We're in an eviction emergency, Black Independent Party.

Right now, millions of families are at risk of being evicted from their homes because the right-wing Supreme Court blocked the eviction moratorium we helped win last month. I refuse to just stand by and watch our government ignore this crisis — especially now with the rise of COVID cases in this ongoing pandemic. I've been evicted three times in my life. I remember the stress, fear, and anxiety of being unhoused, living in a car with my two babies. I refuse to let more families go through what I experienced. That's why this fight is personal for me. That's why I was outside the Capitol for five days last month to demand a new eviction moratorium. And that's why today, Senator Elizabeth Warren and I introduced the Keeping Renters Safe Act of 2021 with support from Justice Democrats to give the Department of Health and Human Services the permanent authority to implement eviction moratoriums during public health crises. It's urgent we take action especially now as C...

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

robert - Since we started our campaign to elevate the voices of veterans who support a diplomacy-first approach with Iran, over 20,000 men and women who have worn our country's uniform have added their names in support. Today, I want to share a few of their stories with you, and to let you know that in the next few weeks, we're going to be flying almost two dozen veterans and military family members out the nation's capital to make their voices heard loud and clear. Contribute $3 to help VoteVets bring these veterans to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Democratic representatives we need to hold the line ahead of the vote on the Iran deal later this month. Dennis, an Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran (Afghanistan) wrote in that "The alternative is an eventual war, again, in the Middle East." Matt, an Iraq War Veteran from Colorado added, "Based on my experience in Iraq, I feel that diplomacy is a better path than military action in southwest Asia ... Vo...

Hottest Issues

Mikie: We are tied 43 to 43 in New Jersey, I need Black Independents support.

Every single day since he took office in January, it seems like Donald Trump has found new ways to abuse his power and make life harder for our families. He’s illegally withheld funding that New Jerseyans rely on for child care, for health care, and for access to healthy food. He’s deployed the National Guard to American cities in a transparent attempt to instill terror and fear. He signed a devastating spending bill that guts Medicaid access and makes everything from groceries to heating your home less affordable — all to give billionaires a giant tax cut. And honestly, that’s just a fraction of it. As Trump has inflicted all this damage on our country, Republican politicians like Jack Ciattarelli have cheered him on every step of the way. There is seemingly nothing Trump can do — no matter how illegal, reckless, or outright devastating for New Jersey families — that would make Jack Ciattarelli say “enough is enough.” And , polls show that Ciattarelli is within a few percentage p...

Rand: Fix America

GOP .com Robert, We’ve had enough. President Obama's big-government spending sprees in Washington are now threatening America's economic stability and freedom. It’s time to rein it in. And it’s time your voice is heard. We want to know your thoughts: how would you like to see us fix the debt and spending crisis in Washington? Share your solution today—and you could have a chance to discuss your proposal over lunch with Chairman Reince Priebus, Congressman Paul Ryan and me. You know better than any liberal Washington bureaucrat what it takes to cut spending, reduce the deficit and balance the budget. You do it every day in your own home or business. You don’t spend more than you have—and neither should our government. The big government’s unsustainable, reckless spending addiction has caused our national debt to increase by 65% under President Obama, and it also has caused the size of our government to grow by more than 100% in the past decade, according to th...

Team Newsom: Gov Newsom on Colbert

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! Governor Newsom has received a lot of feedback on his recent social media posts on Twitter and TikTok. Democrats love it. Fox News cries about it relentlessly. But what they don't get is the irony of it all -- that it is putting a mirror up to the absurdity of Donald Trump. Watch this clip from Colbert last night. Thank you, Team Newsom

Mark: out of state billionaires

Robert, We had another strong performance at the debate tonight in Fayetteville. Once again, we showed where Tom Cotton's priorities lie: With the out-of-state billionaires bankrolling his campaign. This year, his backers have spent over $20 million trying to buy this election. Why? Because they know they can count on Tom Cotton. That's the difference in this race. I listen to you and he listens to the billlionaires. But we can't rest on our laurels with tonight's victory. I need you to commit vote, and I need you to commit to vote early. The polls show this race is a dead heat, and we'll need a strong turnout to ensure victory. Click here to commit to vote. Thank you so much for your support. Now let's go win this thing. Mark Pryor

Marjorie: We need all hands on deck

Dear robert, Your active support, prayers, and financial generosity as a Susan B. Anthony List member have been so critical in the fight to protect innocent unborn children from the predatory abortion industry. Six months in to the Trump Administration, YOUR pro-life activism along with all the passionate help we receive from members nationwide is a big reason why we are celebrating: ✔ An END to U.S. taxpayer support for abortions overseas ✔ A cabinet and administration stacked with pro-life champions who are using their posts to protect babies in the womb ✔ Religious freedom protections so pro-life business owners are not forced to pay for abortion-inducing drugs ✔ Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who brings us one crucial vote closer to the day when Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land Thank you for helping us score crucial early victories that will save countless innocent ch...

Bob: put an end to these unfair subsidies

Robert, This makes my blood boil: Each year, taxpayers spend BILLIONS of dollars subsidizing big oil and gas companies! These companies don’t need taxpayer dollars, period. In 2013 alone, the Big Five oil companies posted profits of $93 BILLION. But that didn’t stop the industry from lining its pockets with BILLIONS of your tax dollars that same year. No wonder the Big Five oil companies were able to pay their CEOs $125 million last year alone. What’s more, even as these often-negligent companies walk away with your hard-earned money, they pollute our air and water, hurting our families and damaging our environment! Remember the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? We need to put an end to these unfair subsidies. Add your name: Tell Congress to stop unfair tax giveaways for Big Oil! The other sad thing is that these loopholes aren’t new. Some of them have been on the books for 100 years! Big Oil companies have had a century of taxpayer mo...

Mikie Sherrill : Here's the Deal

Hey, I know my team and I have been emailing you a lot recently asking for your support. But I wanted to take a second to explain why your support matters in this crucial race. Not only is my opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, endorsed by Donald Trump – he’s also a faithful advocate for the most disastrous elements of Trump’s agenda, and wants to implement them here in New Jersey. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Republican price hike bill that will throw hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans off their health care. And now, Ciattarelli’s being supported by a MAGA super PAC that’s pouring millions of dollars into negative ads that make one false assertion after another about my record and my character. In a race this close and with the stakes this high, we need to have the resources to be able to fight back, and we can only do that with your support. Can you split $10 (or whatever you can) between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project so we can stop our ...

Tim Waltz: I wanted Black Independents to hear it first

Black Independents, I wanted you to hear it from me first: I’m running to continue serving as Governor of Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, we’ve cut child poverty, expanded labor rights, invested in education, made sure every student gets free breakfast and lunch at school, and so much more. We’re putting people first — and giving folks the freedom to live their own lives the way they want to live them. But team , everything we’re building is under attack. Donald Trump and his fellow extremists are dismantling basic services like Social Security and Medicare, leaving working families behind, and threatening our freedoms. That’s why I’m running — because we’ve got a lot more work to do, and I’m sure as hell not going to let MAGA extremists flip this state red. Will you stand with me and split a donation between my campaign and Adam Schiff to show that we are fired up and ready to win? Republicans want to gut your benefits and hand out tax breaks to bil...
