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

Hillary: Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization

Image
        Black Independent Party -- When my friend Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization, it was because we were blown away by the energy and commitment shown by activists -- new and old -- in the aftermath of the 2016 election. We asked ourselves: What can we do to help them? Onward Together was formed as a way to support and connect the groups that are doing the work that absolutely needs to be done right now -- from mobilizing voters to encouraging and training new activists to recruiting people who are ready to run for office themselves. In 2017, we partnered with 11 organizations headed up by by smart, passionate leaders. We offer funding and strategic advice, and connect them with resources.  And this spring, we finally had a chance to bring those leaders together in one place, and it was really something special. Take a moment to watch the video we've made celebrating our first Onward Together convening. The leaders who...

Guy Cecil: Republicans are dead wrong on this

Image
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are pushing the Blunt Amendment, a radical piece of legislation that would cannibalize health care reform by letting any employer deny any part of your heath care coverage due to “moral convictions.” Robert, this goes way beyond taking away birth control coverage. An employer could decide that they couldn’t shell out the money necessary for your expensive cancer treatment because of their "moral convictions," and you’d be out of luck. Their goal isn’t just to end contraception coverage. Their goal is to implode our entire health care system and strike a deadly blow to President Obama’s historic health care reform. Republicans are going to try to bring this to a vote as early as today. Before the vote, I need you and 49,999 other people who value health care reform to take a strong stand against the Blunt Amendment. Sign our petition, and stand strong against the Blunt Amendment. Employers shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose our h...

That’s a big gamble in an era of rising crime.

  Don't want to receive anymore emails?  Unsubscribe here .     The Supreme Court Should Hear Challenge to Harvard’s Race-Based Admissions Policies The latest Leftist  uproar  — this over the alleged treatment of Asian Americans — points up their utter hypocrisy on race: accuse Americans broadly of racism while promoting racist policies.

With our friends at the Allied Educational Foundation (AEF), we filed an  amici curiae brief  in support of Students for Fair Admission’s petition for a  writ of certiorari  to the Supreme Court, challenging the decision of the U.S. District Court for the First Circuit that upholds Harvard College’s race-based affirmative action admissions program.

Al: Our friends over at EMILY’s List

Image
      Our friends over at EMILY’s List are holding a “Flip the Senate” Moneybomb, robert. Democrats only need to flip five seats to win back control of the Senate. EMILY’s List is supporting nine fantastic pro-choice women in senate races this year -- six in seats that we can flip, and three in seats we need to hold. These could be the candidates who take back the Senate for Democrats.  And today we have a chance to help them. EMILY’s List is working to raise $100,000 by midnight tonight to strengthen their grassroots organization. Can you chip in $5, $10, or more? Has there ever been a more important time to have more women in Congress? Republicans in Washington take every chance they can get to stand between women and their doctors. The attacks on Planned Parenthood and access to care are practically never-ending. And the next Supreme Court Justice the Senate approves could determine the future of  Roe vs. Wade. The two best things we can do this...

Bob: tens of thousands of parents across America trusted Dr. Carson

Image
Robert, 6 days. That's all the time we have left between now and the Iowa Caucuses on February 1st. Everything we've worked for, month after month, will be put to the test and the American people will begin to decide whether or not Dr. Ben Carson becomes President Ben Carson. As someone who has spent my life serving my country, I would not trust just anyone to be our Commander-in-Chief. While some say Dr. Carson doesn't have the right background for the job, I believe to my core that they are dead wrong. Not only does Dr. Carson have the right temperament and judgment to serve as President, but he's had to answer more 2 AM phone calls and deal with more life-and-death crises than any other candidate in this race. That's a fact, and it's the main theme of our new TV ad that goes on the air today in Iowa.  Right now, I ask you to take 30 seconds to watch it and make a donation to keep it on the air. Whether or not the good people of Iowa get a chance ...

Pres Barack Obama's Speech to America on 9-11

Eleven years ago, America confronted one of our darkest days. The events of September 11, 2001, brought collapsing towers in Manhattan and billowing smoke at the Pentagon, wreckage on a Pennsylvania field, and deep ache to the soul of our Nation. Nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that morning; still more gave theirs in service during the hours, days, and years that followed. All were loved, and none will be forgotten. On these days of prayer and remembrance, we mourn again the men, women, and children who were taken from us with terrible swiftness, stand with their friends and family, honor the courageous patriots who responded in our country's moment of need, and, with God's grace, rededicate ourselves to a spirit of unity and renewal. [...] On September 11, 2001, in our hour of grief, a Nation came together. No matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family. This weekend, as we honor th...

Chris: Why I filibustered

Image
Why I filibustered for gun violence prevention Friend --  I was the Congressman from Newtown, Connecticut when tragedy struck Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012. As long as I live, I’ll never forget the scene at the firehouse when twenty-six families were told they would not be reunited with their children and loved ones.  For years, Congress has failed those families and the victims of gun violence all across the country.  That is why yesterday, starting at 11:21 a.m., I decided to stand on the Senate floor and talk for as long as I could about the need to prevent gun violence. And with the help of more than 30 of my colleagues, we demanded immediate action to make our communities safer from gun violence:  I can tell you that as the hours progressed, my colleagues heard your calls for change grow louder and louder. And after almost fifteen hours of filibustering, I was proud to be able to announce that Republicans had agreed to our demand for ...
