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

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

Kirsten: I know why Comey was fired

Image
Robert, over the last 48 hours, we’ve continued to learn what led President Trump to fire FBI Director James Comey. And every new revelation increases the seriousness of the crisis we face.   Comey had reportedly requested more resources from the Department of Justice to investigate the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia. It isn’t hard to connect the dots to what happened next: President Trump wanted this all to go away, so he fired Comey.   This is an extreme takeover of one of our country’s most powerful institutions. The president is not above the law. That’s not who we are.   But Republican leadership is ignoring our calls for an independent investigation. We must raise our voices until they listen. Will you take a moment now to join me in demanding the appointment of an independent special prosecutor?   Click here to add your voice with mine to demand an independent investigation.   The president is desperate to put this all behind him, but h...

Rand: Fix America

GOP .com Robert, We’ve had enough. President Obama's big-government spending sprees in Washington are now threatening America's economic stability and freedom. It’s time to rein it in. And it’s time your voice is heard. We want to know  your  thoughts: how would you like to see us fix the debt and spending crisis in Washington? Share your solution today—and you could have a chance to discuss your proposal over lunch with Chairman Reince Priebus, Congressman Paul Ryan and me. You know better than any liberal Washington bureaucrat what it takes to cut spending, reduce the deficit and balance the budget. You do it every day in your own home or business. You don’t spend more than you have—and neither should our government. The big government’s unsustainable, reckless spending addiction has caused our national debt to increase by 65% under President Obama, and it also has caused the size of our government to grow by more than 100% in the past decade, according to th...

Al: Between 1977 and 1980, members of the U.S Armed Forces were exposed to nuclear waste.

Image
robert, Between 1977 and 1980, thousands of members of the U.S Armed Forces were given a duty: Help clean up nuclear test sites in the Marshall Islands. Dressed in t-shirts, shorts, and boots (aka, without protective gear), those service members did their job. Now, about 40 years later, many of those brave men and women face serious health problems. Cancer rates among these veterans is around 35 percent.  And for some reason, they cannot get the compensation they have earned. Congress needs to step up.  Veterans who become ill because they did their duty to this nation should have access to the quality health care they need. They’ve earned it. Today I’m joining with Congressmen Mark Takai, Ted Lieu, Brad Ashford, Mark Takano and Mark Pocan to tell Congress to right this wrong. And as we all know, a grassroots movement is always stronger when we act together. So today, I’m asking you -- will you click here and add your voice? This is an outrageous and inexcusable oversig...

Mark: 5 Shadowy Groups in Arkansas

Image
Robert, For a while now we’ve warned that the dark money pouring into Arkansas to buy this Senate seat would only get worse – and now it has. Toward the end of May, five shadowy outside groups announced they planned to spend over $3 million on TV in the coming weeks to prop up Tom Cotton. The  Citizens United  ruling opened the floodgates to out-of-state billionaires – you know their names – and they’re wasting no time trying to drown out the voices of Arkansans. They have already spent around $10 million in this race to elect a senator they know will do their bidding instead of listening to Arkansans. We’ve got to send a message that our democracy is not for sale, and that the value of someone’s voice isn’t measured by the number of zeros in their bank account. You can help restore our democracy and the voice of every Arkansan. Click here to tell Congress: overturn  Citizens United  now. Karl Rove and the Koch brothers certainly don’t put Arkans...

Kirsten: Stand up for Her

Image
Robert, Exactly one year ago today, Wendy Davis took an epic, 11-hour stand before the Texas Senate, filibustering Governor Rick Perry’s extreme anti-women bill. Wendy’s stand launched a movement, pushing us all to consider the big question:  What do we stand for? One year later,  Wendy is fighting to become the first Democratic governor of Texas in decades,  and the jeers from Republican extremists have morphed into even more outlandish, sexist attacks (remember “Abortion Barbie”?). Make no mistake:  They’re not attacking Wendy’s record; they are attacking her because she is a woman. A woman who graduated from Harvard and was elected to the Texas state senate. A woman Republicans call “too stupid to be governor.” That does more than anger me. It makes me want to stand up. We stood with Wendy one year ago. Will you donate $5 or more today to show Wendy we stand with her again? Let’s show that our support is as strong as ever today, by donating...

Wesley: always fighting for veterans and military families.

Image
Robert -  When the government shutdown seemed intractable, VoteVets member Redge Ranyard answered the call, challenging John Boehner's claim that the legislative impasse was an "epic battle."  Redge served in six "epic battles" during World War II, and his thirty-second ad amassed over 200,000 views online in addition to the spots that ran in television ads and cable news shows across the country.  His voice was a turning point in the campaign to re-open the government for all Americans, and it happened because of his relationship with VoteVets.  During all the important campaigns of 2013, VoteVets was there -- always fighting for veterans and military families.  Will you join me and standing with VoteVets right now by making a $5 contribution ahead of tonight's critical fundraising deadline?  When the Senate considered legislation to expand background checks in the aftermath of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, VoteVets member and Iraq War vete...

Tim Waltz: I wanted Black Independents to hear it first

Image
      Black Independents, I wanted you to hear it from me first:  I’m running to continue serving as Governor of Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, we’ve cut child poverty, expanded labor rights, invested in education, made sure every student gets free breakfast and lunch at school, and so much more.  We’re putting people first — and giving folks the freedom to live their own lives the way they want to live them. But team , everything we’re building is under attack. Donald Trump and his fellow extremists are dismantling basic services like Social Security and Medicare, leaving working families behind, and threatening our freedoms.  That’s why I’m running — because we’ve got a lot more work to do, and I’m sure as hell not going to let MAGA extremists flip this state red. Will you stand with me and split a donation between my campaign and Adam Schiff to show that we are fired up and ready to win? Republicans want to gut your benefits and hand out tax breaks to bil...

Jeff: There's been an explosion of secret money

Image
    Robert: People are voting today in the first primary election of 2016.  It’s an exciting moment for political junkies, and the results have big consequences for the future of our country. That’s why I find this headline so troubling: BLOOMBERG: New Hampshire Flooded by $100 million in Political Ads (Feb. 3, 2016) Who's spending those vast sums to influence the election of our next President?  We don't fully know.  And that's really disturbing.   There's been an explosion of secret money since the disastrous Citizens United decision, and it just keeps getting worse and worse.  That’s why I’m fighting to pass the DISCLOSE Act, to shine a bright light on the out-of-control special interest spending in our politics. Sign the Petition:  demand greater transparency in our elections! Billionaires and big corporate special interests shouldn't have more say over who governs our country just because they have more money.  That's ...
