Michelle: I have seen up close what it means to be president

Friend -- 

I just left the stage at the Democratic National Convention, where I spoke about why I believe Hillary Clinton should be president.

It was truly an honor to speak on her behalf. She is a devoted public servant, a passionate advocate for children and families, and a strong, experienced leader whom I trust with the overwhelming responsibilities of the presidency. And I am proud of the history she will make -- and the example she will set for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters -- as she breaks that highest, hardest glass ceiling.

But that will only happen if every single one of us does everything we can between now and November to support Hillary. Now that she’s the nominee and we know who she’s up against, none of us can sit on the sidelines. Chip in right now. 

I have seen up close what it means to be president -- how you live every moment on a knife’s edge, dealing with the most complex, consequential issues imaginable. We need a leader with the temperament and the judgment to handle this role -- someone with a lifelong commitment to serving this country -- and I have no doubt that Hillary is that leader.

I trust Hillary to do this job well every single day, and to protect and build on the progress we have made together these past seven and a half years -- from creating jobs and providing health care for millions of Americans, to combating climate change and making historic strides for LGBT rights.

Hillary has to be our next president. But that will only happen if we roll up our sleeves and do everything we can between now and November to show our support for her. So don’t wait to offer yours:

Thanks,

Michelle

P.S. Every time you donate today, you will be automatically entered for a chance to meet Hillary at the convention on Thursday. So don’t wait -- show your support today!

Mark: out of state billionaires

Image
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

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

Image
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...

United States Adjustment to ISIS

  United States Adjustments to ISIS CJA/454 Robert L. Gilyard September 2, 2014 Gary Howard United States Adjustment to ISIS This paper is an analysis on ISIS terrorism and how the American criminal justice system can adapt to the rising trend of terror. Suggestions to change the situation, proposed changes, positive, and negative effect of the change examination. Explanation and proposed usage of criminal justice management support, financial, training, and human resources tools available to combat terrorism. Situation: ISIS ISIS is a new organization with origination from 2006’s Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The disbanding of Al-Qaeda organizations and other terror groups combined their resources and financial avenues into a new terror group called ISIS.

Team Newsom: Gov Newsom on Colbert

Image
  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

ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in serious trouble.

Image
  It doesn't look good, Mr. Gilyard. The Democrats are coming after newly-elected Reps. Burgess Owens & Byron Donalds like nothing I've ever seen before... ...and the ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in  serious trouble .     I'm writing to you, Robert, because patriotic conservatives like you were instrumental in helping Burgess & Byron beat the odds to win two hotly-contested races for U.S. House last election. But they need us now more than ever. You see, the Democrats have already stockpiled millions of dollars to relentlessly bombard Burgess & Byron with brutal attacks from now until Election Day, and their deep-pocketed Big Tech comrades are funneling in millions more. The Democrats are desperate to defeat these two outspoken Black conservative Congressmen because they're... ☆ Speaking truth directly to the Black Community ☆ Exposing the Democrats' race-baiting LIE that conservatives like you and me are all  racists ☆ Reclaimi...

Al: won't be easy

Image
Dear Robert, What if there was a magic button that could overturn  Citizens United , get the word “SuperPAC” out of our national vocabulary, and drive shady money out of our political system forever? Wouldn’t you push the heck out of that button? Me, too. But there’s no such button. All we can do is fight as hard as we can to limit the influence of big money -- and one important step we can take is passing the DISCLOSE Act, a bill that would force special interest groups to tell us who’s funding their political activities. There’s no button we can push to make the DISCLOSE Act law. But there is a link you can click:  Click here to join us in calling on Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act now! In the end, what we really need is a constitutional amendment to overturn  Citizens United  once and for all. But that’s an uphill battle. And the DISCLOSE Act would be an important first step up that hill. Requiring that special interest groups reveal where they get thei...

Joe: I was around Jason’s age

Image
I was around Jason’s age when I first ran for U.S. Senate. His race reminds me a lot of mine. Like Jason, I was up against a long-time incumbent. Like Jason, when I started my campaign, very few people in Washington thought we had a chance. We proved them wrong, exactly like you folks are doing now.   But you’re up against something we didn’t have so much of in my time:  Special Interests. Sure, there were always groups that tried to influence elections. But after the Supreme Court’s decision in  Citizens United  a couple of years ago, we've never seen the kind of unlimited flow of dark money that's flooding our politics today. Special interest groups have already pledged nearly $6 million against Jason.  And now that the polls are dead even, more and more money will pour in. Jason needs to raise $150,000 this month to keep fighting for everything you care about. And he needs you--which is why I'm asking for your help. Can you make a contribution? Even...
