Jason: We’ve been active throughout the country--working with 13 different candidates

Pride Fund to End Gun Violence


Friend,

A lot has happened since Donald Trump was elected. Violent hate crimes against the LGBTQ community have increased, federal protections for LGBTQ employees have been stripped, and the White House even refused to acknowledge National Pride Month.
It’s been a busy couple of months for us too. We’ve been active throughout the country--working with 13 different candidates who all support commonsense gun safety laws and champion LGBTQ equality--even if our president won’t. As we redouble our efforts moving into general elections, our candidates need to know you’re with them.
Our candidates are facing some of the most well-funded, pro-gun, anti-LGBTQ Republicans we’ve ever seen. They need us to help them fight back against the onslaught of the gun lobby and Republican smear tactics. 

Thank you for your support

I’m taking on centuries of white supremacy and patriarchy

Image
        Robert, There would be no Marilyn Mosby without Kamala Harris. When I won state’s attorney, Kamala was my inspiration – and now she’s the Vice President of the United States of America. We are at a critical moment; the precipice of equality and unity, yet hostage to our nation’s history. There is opportunity in our future that we must demand. Progress requires progressive leadership. Progress requires effort. I’m putting in the work, and right now I’m asking for your help.   "Kamala Harris inspires Black women from Baltimore state’s attorney to speaker of Maryland House of Delegates" - Baltimore Sun Far too few Black Women achieve positions of power in this country. While Kamala’s ascension is proof of progress, it is also a reminder of how much further we have to go. I am taking on a field dominated by white men. My policies and actions are dictated by a vision of equality and protection for ALL members of our community. Which is why I’m perceived as a ...

ShePac: She Did It!

Image
  Fellow Patriot, She did it. We did it. Iowa State Senator Joni Ernst won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. In a crowded primary of five candidates, Joni won over 55% of the vote. It's an astounding number considering most polls had her around 35% - the threshold to avoid a convention. Joni was ShePAC's first endorsement of 2014 - when most polls had her in the single digits and no one was talking about her campaign. Iowa was also the site for ShePAC's first "Heels On, Gloves Off" rally of 2014. At that event, Joni said this about ShePAC: "With ShePAC, I have to say they were one of the first organizations that came out and endorsed my candidacy for United States Senate and that was back when the political pundits, they didn't think I was going to go very far, but look at us today!" We endorsed this mother, soldier, and proven conservative because she's the kind of Senator we need representing Iowa. Conservative...

Rand: want to be very honest with you

Image
  Patriot, I want to be very honest with you.   We're still thousands away from our end of quarter Moneybomb goals.  I hate asking for money. It's my least favorite part of this job.   But I can't tell you how important this end of quarter deadline is to this race.   The media and the Washington establishment will use our next FEC report to rate the health of my campaign,  so we need to appear as strong as ever .  My opponent is outraising us already. We know he's writing big checks to his own campaign.  He thinks he can self-fund his way to victory.   But I know the liberty movement is stronger than his checkbook -  we just have to act NOW . CONTRIBUTE NOW  Lucky for us, a generous group of donors agreed to match any email donations made from now until the end of quarter.   That means your donation is worth DOUBLE!   Patriot, I  can't emphasize e nough how importa...

incredible recovery from severe spinal cord injury

Image
  Dear robert, I’m very pleased to share with you that today the Charlotte Lozier Institute released  a new video  featuring a young woman who made an incredible recovery from severe spinal cord injury thanks to a transplant using  her own adult stem cells .   Meet Laura Dominguez-Tauer. When Laura was only 16, a devastating car crash left her paralyzed from the neck down.  She was told she would never walk again.  Her father’s online research, however, led to the discovery of an adult stem cell transplant done for spinal cord injury survivors.  Now, 15 years later, Laura shares about her recovery, her family, and how she has used her own experience to help others who have been impacted by spinal cord injury, dramatic brain injury, and stroke.  Watch Laura’s story here: Many others like Laura are currently being treated using ethically-derived, non-controversial adult stem cell transplants, which do not rely on the destruction of you...

Russ: We need to do more to help families pay their bills

Image
Robert, Working and middle-class families in Wisconsin are worried about paying their bills. I hear this every day as I listen to voters, especially this week as I talked to new homeowners in Green Bay and Milwaukee about the challenges they face. There are very few options available for working families to help make ends meet, but one is the mortgage interest deduction. That's why it's so troubling to me that Senator Johnson considers this, a bedrock of Wisconsin's middle-class, something that could be on the table for elimination in future tax negotiations. Eliminating the mortgage interest tax deduction would be disastrous for working and middle-class families who own homes in this state, many of whom are already on the brink financially. Middle-class families shouldn't be a bargaining chip. We need to show strong support for this measure. Will you join me in showing your support for the mortgage interest tax deduction today? Senator Johnson doesn...

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...

Hillary Clinton Re: Renewed Hope

Image
  Dear Robert, We did it! In this incredible year, we have changed our politics, our country and our nation! And I could not be more proud or more grateful to you for sharing this journey with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you have done, for me, for Barack Obama , and for all our Democratic candidates, to make these successes possible. I know that President-Elect Barack Obama will lead our country in the new direction we need. And with the great success of our House and Senate candidates, we can make our agenda a reality. But make no mistake -- our work is not done! I will be doing everything I can in the Senate, working closely with the White House on the goals you and I set out. With President Obama and our strengthened majorities in Congress, we can get our economy back on track. We're going to make sure every man, woman, and child in America has health care. With smart, effective new policies, we will move toward energy inde...

Paul: preventing police shootings

CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926) “Ryan noted the conversation came on the day of remembrance for civil rights leader Martin Luther King. ‘I can't think of a better day to have a conversation about this than MLK Day. Because it's all about making sure that we get communities to work with each other,’ Ryan said.” http://bit.ly/2iFYCTK  Police chiefs, Rep. Ryan, talk about preventing police shootings Frank Schultz Janesville Gazette January 16, 2017 J  ANESVILLE—Six law enforcement leaders from around the country met in Janesville on Monday to offer a new approach to racially charged incidents that have torn communities apart in recent years: police shootings. They met with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and discussed ideas for reducing officer-involved shootings. The chiefs recognized Janesville Police Chief Dave Moore as a leader in a new way of policing that first seeks to de-escalate tense incidents so they don't result in gunfire. Ryan took no quest...
