Rand: Obama's entire philosophy of law is up for debate

-
Dear Patriot,
President Obama thinks he can propose a new nominee to the Supreme Court and force through in his last few months in office. But let’s face it. This is a a HUGE conflict of interest. 
Maybe the biggest of his presidency. 
Many of the president’s own executive actions on immigration, climate change, and Obamacare, are under review by the Supreme Court right now.
He has every motivation to nominate a sympathetic judge. But just because the president gets to nominate, doesn't mean the Senate must confirm. 
And let me tell you, I am not simply going to let him have his way without a heck of a fight. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure the Senate does what is necessary to uphold the Constitution.
Patriot, President Obama thinks he should have the power to create immigration law out nothing.
He thinks he has the power to basically cripple entire industries like coal without ever having been given that power by Congress.
It’s a complete Constitutional debate on whose powers it is to legislate right now.
Is it the president or Congress?
Obama's entire philosophy of law is up for debate and it will be decided where? At the Supreme Court.
And we know EXACTLY how he will want his nominee to rule. It's easy to see why he's so eager to fill the seat before Americans have their say in November.
The president needs a sympathetic character. He needs a nominee who supports the notion that the executive branch should be more powerful than the legislative -- that the president is the ultimate authority and that Congress, the voice of the people, doesn’t matter at all.
I will not let this happen.
I’m not going to take it lying down and let the president have his way.

In Liberty,
Rand Paul

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
