Activist --

As climate voters, we need to know where candidates stand on climate justice. All candidates need to take a clear stand on the Dakota Access Pipeline, and fossil-fuel infrastructure projects like it.

Add your name: Tell candidates to take a stand on the climate injustice of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is receiving worldwide attention, as a Native-led struggle against the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure through sacred land and water represents one of the most profound demonstrations of climate-change resistance. Despite the intersectional issues associated with the Dakota Access Pipeline—issues of environmental and racial justice, property rights and civil rights—the people have not heard from candidates across the country what their stance is on this pipeline and many others like it, under construction or slated to be constructed.

We need to hear where candidates stand on projects like the Dakota Access Pipeline, which are accelerating the planet toward a catastrophic rise in global temperature. And we need to know all candidates’ stance on climate change, renewable energy and tax subsidies to Big Oil, Gas, and Coal corporations ahead of next week’s election.

Sign the petition to all candidates for public office in the United States of America:

We the people, concerned citizens and voters, demand that you publicly disclose your position on the Dakota Access Pipeline and other fossil-fuel infrastructure projects. We demand that let the people know if you support projects like these or not, so that we can make informed choices when we head to the polls through November 8th.

Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice

Dear Robert, We are witnessing the beginning of a historic movement. People are peacefully taking to the streets with calls for justice for the Black lives lost at the hands of law enforcement. They are demanding accountability and reform in order to address the systemic racism in our society. I’m determined to operate my campaign with the same level of accountability and transparency that we are seeking in our systems. That’s why we’re making a pledge to fight for racial justice. As a Black woman in elected office, race has been at the forefront of everything I’ve done. I owe it to myself, my family, and my community to make sure that my campaign is representative, equitable, and empowering the Black community. These are not simply performative words. Sign our pledge to fight for racial justice and learn more about how you can help . There is a deep need to address racial equity in politics and we are creating actionable items that will he...

Robert - The single most important thing you can do today is get to the polls and cast your vote. If you still need to cast your ballot in this election, look up your polling place right now: FIND MY POLLING LOCATION » If you've already voted and want to help get out the vote for the candidates who will fight for the ideals of our political revolution, you can make calls: MAKE CALLS TO GET OUT THE VOTE » By getting out the vote during the final hours of this election, we will help elect candidates who are prepared to take our fight to Congress, statehouses and communities across the country. And that means we'll have progressive allies in government who will stand with our movement on issues like income inequality, climate change, and getting big money out of politics. We have the power to change the way our political system works and make it once again responsive to the needs of the people, not just the wealthy few. The most important way we can exercise that ...

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...

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...

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. You see, as we announced earlier this week, the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is already huddling with activists on the ground in South Carolina , looking for an alternative to big-spending establishment Republican Lindsey Graham . And in Kentucky , we are already coordinating with local Tea Party activists who have lost faith in the weak-kneed R...

What is 4th of July to Fort Smith Arkansas. When we still have Confederate monuments downtown. Where they have annual bike rallies in which they sell Confederate flags. When Confederates put flags on their trucks and intimidate our children up and down our streets. When Confederate flags wave through the neighborhoods of our children that are walking home from school. Where their dogs are barking at our children to harrass and terrorized them until they cannot move and we as adults have to stand and tell them that everything is okay. What is 4th of July to Fort Smith Arkansas. When we have a black mayor who does nothing for his own race and will celebrate America's Independence and ignore his own Freedom day that Juneteenth represents. The same mayor that used the platform of integration and segregation as a reason to be elected. And that same segregation and integration that is represented in Juneteenth was avoided. Will boast of white applause and ignore our black sisters in...

Friend -- I wanted to make sure everyone on the Truth Team saw this, because it's exactly why we started this group. What you see in this video is what we're up against from here until November 6th. Check it out, and then pass it on: If you feel inspired, pitch in to help fund our team's work, and everything we do. There's only one way to make sure none of Romney's false attacks stick, and that's by calling him out on it every time: http://my.barackobama.com/Tipsheet-April7-Video Thanks for your help in doing that. Until next week, Stephanie

Dear Black Independent, Americans have taken a turn over the last few years from mindless to mindful celebration of our holidays. On Memorial Day, we do not distract ourselves from the deeper meaning of the day, but rather allow ourselves to take in the full weight of its significance. On this day every year, we remember those who throughout our history have lost their lives serving in the US military. For centuries, since our earliest beginnings, there have been those who lay down their lives for this country. Some of them are remembered for who they were while they were alive, while some have names and lives that have been lost and forgotten, buried beneath the sands of time. On this Memorial day, we remember them all. In our hearts, we honor them and thank them. We stop to consider the blessing of our many liberties, and those who died in an effort to protect them. May their souls receive our gratitude, and the blessing of the prayers that we say for them this ...

President George H.W. Bush: guilty pleasure

GOP .com Robert, I don’t know what your guilty pleasures are in life, but one of mine is socks. I’m a self-proclaimed sock man. The louder, the brighter, the crazier the pattern -- the better! It’s usually the first thing people notice I’m wearing whenever I’m out in public and that’s the way I like it. So when Chairman Reince Priebus asked me to write to you on behalf of the Republican National Committee (RNC), I told him I’d be happy to do it. But on one condition: my letter to you had to involve socks. I’m proud to say the RNC has commissioned a limited-edition pair of socks in my honor. Embroidered with the Republican elephant and my signature on them, they’re sure to get you noticed. You can get your own pair today or as a gift for your favorite Republican by sending a special campaign contribution of $35 or more to the RNC now. And if you donate $35 or more to the RNC now, your gift will be matched by a group of donors. Robert,...

My Republican opponent John Katko and his party have abandoned their Constitutional responsibility for years by refusing to provide a check on Trump’s power and doing the bidding of massive corporations instead of fighting for our working families. Join me in calling on Katko and all Congressional Republicans to do the right thing, side with the people, and do their part to hold the Trump administration accountable. ADD YOUR NAME » Friend, For someone who claims to be bipartisan, my Republican opponent Congressman John Katko spends a lot of time attacking Democrats. Katko recently said that Democrats don’t have an “acceptable approach to governance” because we refuse to let Trump and his enablers cover up the truth and we’re focused on fighting for issues that would benefit -- and are supported by -- the vast majority of Americans. But it’s Katko’s own party who has been refusing to govern for years. Before we took back the House, the GOP majority in the House...
