Team Trump: Flag Poll. Do you stand in respect or take a knee to disrespect America

Robert Louis,

President Trump is under fire from the media for saying he’s honored to stand for the national anthem.

Now the President needs to know if most Americans agree with him.

Do you stand with him, our flag, and this great country?

YES, I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP

Thanks,

Team TRUMP

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 ...

Kshama: Obama ignores us. Mr. Trump Go around the reservations.

Historic Victory at Standing Rock Calls for Celebration and Vigilance For the last eight months, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has led a historic campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), uniting hundreds of tribes, environmentalists, veterans and other activists inspired by their bold stand in defense of native treaty rights and the environment.   On Sunday, millions of people around the world celebrated news that the Army Corps of Engineers had rejected an easement to allow DAPL to go forward. This was an enormous victory for the movement and for ordinary people everywhere in the struggle against Big Oil and naked corporate greed. I congratulate and thank these courageous indigenous people and all others who rallied behind their cause, including the veteran activists who came to strengthen the camp in the days preceding the Army Corps’ ruling. It is these thousands of ordinary people, not the Obama Administration, who deserve praise for this victor...

Chuck: Senator Marco Rubio has taken a U-turn

Robert, It's official: Senator Marco Rubio has taken a U-turn and decided that he will run for the Senate once again in 2016. Throughout this past year, Senator Rubio has said time and time again that he had no interest in working for Florida residents in the Senate any longer. He promised over and over that he was done with Congress and that he wouldn't return. I have to say it -- I was ready to say goodbye to Senator Rubio. And since his announcement yesterday, I'm more confident than ever. Senator Rubio may have just decided he wants to represent Florida again, but he's going to meet his match in my friend Patrick Murphy. Since he was elected in 2012, Patrick's dedication to serving the people of Florida has never wavered, and I truly believe that if he takes Florida, we'll turn the Senate blue in 2016. That's why it's more important than  ever  to stop Senator Rubio in his tracks. If we give Patrick Murphy the resources he needs in Florida...

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

Image
robert - Since we started our campaign to elevate the voices of veterans who support a diplomacy-first approach with Iran, over 20,000 men and women who have worn our country's uniform have added their names in support. Today, I want to share a few of their stories with you, and to let you know that in the next few weeks, we're going to be flying almost two dozen veterans and military family members out the nation's capital to make their voices heard loud and clear. Contribute $3 to help VoteVets bring these veterans to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Democratic representatives we need to hold the line ahead of the vote on the Iran deal later this month. Dennis, an Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran (Afghanistan) wrote in that  "The alternative is an eventual war, again, in the Middle East." Matt, an Iraq War Veteran from Colorado added,  "Based on my experience in Iraq, I feel that diplomacy is a better path than military action in southwest Asia ... Vo...

join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring

Image
    Friend, Virginia's statewide election this November represents a clear choice between continuing the progress we have made as a Commonwealth these last few years and turning the clock back to the disaster of Trumpism.  That's why I'm emailing you again today to ask you to join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring. Attorney General Herring has been on the front lines of defending the rights of Virginians. He helped lead the fight against the Trump administration's assault on the Affordable Care Act. He stood up to the NRA and championed common sense gun safety laws. And he's made sure the Attorney General's office is on the side of justice on issues including criminal justice reform, environmental protection, and the opioid crisis. I'm proud to support Mark Herring for re-election, but he's facing a tough re-election fight and needs our help. Will you make a donation today and join me in supporting Mark Herring? If you've saved your paym...

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...

People's Action: Where to Move If Trump Wins?

Image
Where to Move If Trump Wins? Trump is now ahead or tied with Clinton in three major, national polls. (ABC, LA Times and Rasmussen). As this news sinks in, many Americans are looking at their options. Cape Breton? United Kingdom? Mexico? If you been disappointed with the pace of economic recovery, imagine what will happen if Trump wins. According to the Financial Times, “nervousness” about the tightening polls caused the markets to dip Monday. No country on earth will be safe when an unstable narcissist has his finger on the nuclear button. The time to act is now, not after the election. If you think Donald Trump is dangerous, the time to act is now. Every dollar we raise goes directly to our campaign in the swing  states . This campaign will be won or lost on the ground. Will you donate just $2? That’s less than the price of a cup coffee. Thank you so much, for all you do. EXPRESS DONATE If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your d...

Chuy: we need to continue working at the county level

Image
Dear Friend,   Now more than ever we need to continue working at the county level to ensure that local, state and federal policies do not have an adverse impact on residents of the 7 th district and our neighbors. At the local level, assessments have skyrocketed in Little Village and North Lawndale and Assessor Berrios needs to be held accountable. At the state level, Governor Rauner has refused to put together a budget to fully fund our neighborhood schools. At the federal level, President Trump has threatened immigrants by holding back critical resources to cities.   In the 7 years that I have been County Commissioner, I am proud of the record that President Preckwinkle and I have established by turning the county around and making it a best practices model for counties all over the country. And with your help we’ve been able to reduce the jail population, maintain our level of health care services for minorities and all and protect the constitutional rights of immi...
