Jill: Democrats keep looking for that long lost spine.

Jill 2016
Dear Friend,
It sounds too good to be true.
But it's not.
And it couldn't come at a better time.
Just as Donald Trump and his billionaire Cabinet begin wreaking havoc and Democrats keep looking for that long lost spine... along comes a super-powered Green candidate, running a breakthrough campaign in an absolutely winnable race.
This is the game changer we've been waiting for. So please. Just for a moment. Drop everything.
Check out Cheri Honkala, my 2012 VP running mate extraordinaire, who's running in the March 21st special election for Pennsylvania State Representative for the 197th district.
Please make a donation to Cheri's campaign by going here and clicking on the donate page. Do your part to help win this Green revolution at the ballot box.
If we each do a little something, we can indeed change everything.
And here's the show stopper. if we can raise $40,000 this week to show her “viability”, Cheri has been assured the assistance of key networks that will make her virtually unstoppable in this race!
So please, right now, make a donation to Cheri's campaign by going here and clicking on the donate page.
And this is no ordinary special election.
Cheri is running to replace the second Democratic Representative in a row to plead guilty to fraud charges! Needless to say, the Democrats enter this race hobbled by corruption and conflict. The door is wide open for a Green victory.
Recruited to run by her supporters in one of the poorest districts in Philadelphia, Cheri has long fought for oppressed communities of color with whom she founded the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.
If 1500 people receiving this email each contribute $27, we can make this happen right now!
As a leader of eviction blockades to defend desperate homeowners, and picket lines to stand up for struggling workers, Cheri knows what it means to stare down unjust power.
As a Green State Representative, she will transform the political landscape and give new meaning to fighting for justice in the halls of power.
Please make a donation to Cheri's campaign by going here and clicking on the donate page.
Please sign up to canvas if you're near Philadelphia, or to phone bank if you're anywhere else, by going here and clicking on the volunteer page.
As people pour into the streets by the millions, the resistance is growing like we haven't seen in generations. A new political force is emerging. Cheri can lead that force into the halls of power. Let's make this the breakthrough campaign we all deserve!
Thanks so much for leading the charge.
Upward together,
Jill and Ajamu

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
