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

Chuck: outsourcing jobs overseas.

Robert, Michelle Nunn is in a truly urgent situation. She's close to victory in two days -- but if neither candidate takes 50 percent plus one o‌n T‌ues‌day, the Georgia Senate election goes to a runoff. Democrats will do absolutely everything we can to win a potential runoff, especially with our majority potentially still on the line. But it could cost millions of dollars, or even  tens of millions  -- whereas even a few thousand dollars more right now, while the Nunn campaign has a chance to get a few more voters to the polls, could wrap this up now. Contribute $3 to Michelle Nunn today. Help get a few more voters to the polls now, while it could help win on Tuesday, instead of sending this race to a costly runoff. Michelle's opponent told Georgia voters he was proud of his career outsourcing jobs overseas. Michelle has led or tied him in nine of the last 14 polls. This is a race we can win -- and we have to try to win it now. Thanks for your support, C...

more news about groundbreaking this fall. — Barack

Image
Dear friend, Yesterday, I visited Jackson Park, the future home of the Obama Presidential Center, and surprised some of the Center’s future neighbors.  Take a look. We can’t wait to bring this Center to the South Side. For Michelle and me, this project is about more than building a gathering space and museum—it’s an opportunity to bring jobs, investment, and economic opportunity to a neighborhood that’s given us so much.  But we also know that to be successful, this project needs to not just be for the community, it must be built in partnership with the community.    That’s why, this week, I spent time with local business owners at South Shore Brew coffee shop and got to hear from them directly about their hopes for the Center.  I also stopped by the Wolfpack youth football team’s practice and talked to some of the kids who use Jackson Park every day. I came away certain that by working together, we can build a space that will act as an economic catalyst for the...

Scarlett: tell them thanks from me!

Robert -- I think you know by now how incredibly high the stakes are on November 4th, especially for women. And if we don't want to wake up on November 5th and find ourselves on the fast track back in time on women's rights, it's critical that Democrats vote. That starts with you, Robert. Will you take a moment to confirm your polling place, and then forward this email to three of your friends? http://my.democrats.org/Lookup If the Republicans take back the Senate, one of the first things they will try to dismantle will be a woman's right to make her own personal health care decisions. This year, I have been appalled again and again by decisions from the GOP and even the Supreme Court that attack a woman's right to choose, and this is our chance to take action. Our votes on Tuesday are all that can stop Republicans from doing even more damage.  So please, even if you remember your polling place, take a moment to confirm that it hasn't changed, and check that yo...

Millions of transgender people still face discrimination

Image
    Friend, did you see the news? One of my first actions as a Congresswoman was to display a transgender pride flag outside my office. I did so to show the trans community -- which includes friends and family of mine -- that they are seen, heard, and not erased. Today, we must recommit our efforts toward protecting the rights of transgender Americans. Dangerous misinformation has been amplified by right-wing politicians and media figures, resulting in a disturbing series of state legislative actions across the country that target the healthcare and well-being of trans youth. Last month, I was named a co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force, an arm of the Congressional LGTBQ+ Equality Caucus that is advocating for legislative and administrative action to ensure that the trans community is treated with dignity and respect. I look forward to using this role to continue advancing equality -- because now is not a time where we can afford silence from allies. Millions of tr...

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

Tuesday, July 16, 2013   Share this: Immigration reform means great things for the economy Now that lawmakers in the Senate have come together to pass a bipartisan piece of legislation to fix our broken immigration system, it's up to the House of Representatives to do the same. And that makes this the perfect time to learn more about the issue. In the days ahead, those members of Congress have to make a choice about the right way to reform immigration -- or if they want to proceed at all. As the national debate begins in earnest, we want to make sure you have information you need to answer questions in your community. So check out this video, then share it so that people know that immigration reform makes a ton of sense for the economy. http://ww...
