Bobby: President of the Senate Pence made the right decision


Great news! Our efforts supporting Betsy DeVos were successful. The Senate voted this afternoon to confirm her as Secretary of Education.

Secretary DeVos will support equal opportunity in education for children across the United States. Our videos highlighted her dedication to giving families educational choices for their students.

This will not be the last battle in this fight, but it was a great win.

Will you support us as we continue to fight for conservative principles and win the war of ideas that's being waged in Washington and across the country?

This is important work, and we need your support. Please chip in $15, $50, or even $100 or more today.

Thank you,

Governor Bobby Jindal

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 ...

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...

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...

Chris: The grassroots is fired up

Image
Robert, As Political Director, it's my role to train future grassroots leaders, engage communities and help our volunteers. The RNC is building the largest, earliest and most data focused field program in GOP history.

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Harold won the Ames Moot Court Competition in her Harvard class, a challenge that our 43 President decided to forego when he was a student.

Image
Robert --  Around the District The 13th Congressional District is home to many fine colleges and universities. During the course of the campaign, I have visited many of these institutions and had the opportunity to speak with students regarding political issues of concern to their generation. I recently participated in a town hall sponsored by the College Republicans at the University of Illinois-Springfield. The young people in attendance asked thoughtful questions and shared insightful observations regarding the state of the Republican Party. The College Republicans also offered to host a debate between all of the 13th District Republican candidates. I hope that such a debate will occur because it will provide college students with the information they need to make an informed choice in the March primary. In Washington, DC While Congress finally has passed a budget, it fails to meaningfully address our $17.2 trillion national debt and unacceptably targets ...
