more news about groundbreaking this fall. — Barack

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...

Rep. John Lewis embodied that mission throughout his eighty years,

Image
Hi there,   Late last night, the world lost a legend. In the  statement  President Obama released in light of the heartbreaking news of Representative John Lewis’ passing, he describes an inspiring conversation they had after their last public appearance together: “It’s fitting that the last time John and I shared a public forum was at a virtual town hall with a gathering of young activists who were helping to lead this summer’s demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Afterwards, I spoke to him privately, and he could not have been prouder of their efforts—of a new generation standing up for freedom and equality, a new generation intent on voting and protecting the right to vote, a new generation running for political office. I told him that all those young people—of every race, from every background and gender and sexual orientation—they were his children. They had learned from his example, even if they didn’t know it. They had understood through him what Ame...

Will: the federal government's role in education poll

Image
Dear Friend, Most parents would agree that our children are the future and they deserve the best education our country has to offer.  I would like to know what you think about the federal government's role in education. Do you believe that the federal government should have more or less control of public school curriculums?* More control Less control I'm not sure Click to open in a separate window   As your Representative, I am most effective when I am receiving feedback from constituents. Please do not hesitate to  contact my office  if you have any questions, concerns, or opinions on something important to you and your family. Respectfully,   Rep. Will Hurd

Bill: Ignore the Media. Make History

Image
Don't let drama distract us... View this email in your browser Contribute Now Ignore the Media. Make History. Friends, I was elected Governor of Massachusetts twice, and I’ve been involved in a lot of other campaigns. And there is one thing that always happens. In the final days before the election, the media and the pundits -- desperate for new headlines -- seize on anything to add to the drama. We can’t let the drama distract us from making the history we are poised to make. Thanks to amazing supporters such as you and literally tens of thousands of volunteers all across this great country,  Gary Johnson and I are on the verge of altering the political landscape in America for years to come . In state after state, our level of support gives us the key to Tuesday’s outcome. Nationally, we are on track to achieve the 5% level that will, for the first time in decades, grant a third party the ballot access and funding that is today...

Jeff: What does it mean to be part of the resistance

Image
    Robert, The time for mourning is over. If Donald Trump follows through on half the things he talked about on the campaign trail, we’re in trouble.  And the early signs are that he intends to do just that. Add your name right now and let’s build the movement to fight back! What does it mean to be part of the resistance to Trump? When people are attacked for who they are, or where they come from,  we will fight. When the Administration hands over our clean air, water, and lands to corporate polluters,  we will fight. When human rights, civil rights, and voting rights are under attack,  we will fight. When the interests of Wall Street and corporate conglomerates are placed ahead of working families and the health of our planet,  we will fight. It means taking action. I’m going to be on the front lines of these fights in the U.S. Senate, and I’m going to need you with me.  Join me and let’s stand up for our values together! Jef...

ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in serious trouble.

Image
  It doesn't look good, Mr. Gilyard. The Democrats are coming after newly-elected Reps. Burgess Owens & Byron Donalds like nothing I've ever seen before... ...and the ONLY Black Conservatives left in Congress are in  serious trouble .     I'm writing to you, Robert, because patriotic conservatives like you were instrumental in helping Burgess & Byron beat the odds to win two hotly-contested races for U.S. House last election. But they need us now more than ever. You see, the Democrats have already stockpiled millions of dollars to relentlessly bombard Burgess & Byron with brutal attacks from now until Election Day, and their deep-pocketed Big Tech comrades are funneling in millions more. The Democrats are desperate to defeat these two outspoken Black conservative Congressmen because they're... ☆ Speaking truth directly to the Black Community ☆ Exposing the Democrats' race-baiting LIE that conservatives like you and me are all  racists ☆ Reclaimi...

Steve: We are poised to shock the world in Iowa.

Image
Friend of Liberty,, We are poised to shock the world in Iowa. With 1,025 precinct captains (more than any other campaign), 99 county chairs and 525,000 phone calls made, we have an organization in Iowa that is ready to win. We need 27,000 votes to win Iowa. That's why we have launched our "March to a Million Iowa Calls." We have seven target phone universes and we want to deliver 3-5 messages to each target universe in the next two weeks.  Would you help us do that? We believe that 1,000,000 phone calls into Iowa will be our shock and awe campaign and help us reach 27,000 votes. We only have two weeks to get this all done. Would you sign up to help at this link:  tiny.cc/randmarch Time is short. The challenge is great. Our goal is just. Your time is needed. Steve Grubbs Chief Iowa Strategist P.S. Please don't delay. We have to succeed in our March to a Million calls!

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 ...

Ben: my trip to Jordan

Image
Robert,  On my trip to Jordan this weekend, I visited with Syrian refugees and saw first-hand the real human problems being worsened by the Obama-Clinton empty rhetoric policies. While our politicians fail to deal with the threat of Islamic extremism honestly and decisively, innocent people around the world are losing their lives and millions of people are being forced to flee their homes. It's time to stand up to this evil. We need leaders who will stop whining and start winning. That's the focus of our brand new ad. Will you take 30 seconds to watch it and make a donation to help spread the message before our November fundraising deadline? President Obama has attacked me and my fellow Republican candidates because we don't want to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to America. Like he's done with so many other issues, the President is trying to turn this into a political football. It's shameful. In the absence of American leadership and due...

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
