Jennifer: help us make history in Mississippi

I’m about to ask you to donate to help us make history in Mississippi, but first let me explain why your support is so important.
In the entire history of Mississippi, there has never been an African American woman elected to statewide office. In 56 days, we’re going to shatter that glass ceiling.
As a retired Army Colonel, I’ve served our country for more than thirty years and as the former executive director of the ACLU of Mississippi, I’ve helped lead the fight for criminal justice reform and voting rights.
Now, as the Democratic nominee for Attorney General, I’m working to build one of the largest grassroots campaigns our state has ever seen. We need to knock on every door, turn out every voter, and stop Republicans from silencing our voices – but we can’t do it without your support.
Republican and dark money groups will spend whatever it takes to defeat our campaign and stop our progress. We can’t let them get away with that. We’re funding this campaign with $5, $10, $25 at a time from grassroots donors like you. That’s why I’m asking for your help now.
We need resources to win this election, and right now we’re short of where we need to be. But we’re close, and your donation right now can get us back on track. So, I’m asking you directly, can I count on you to donate $1 right now to help us make history in Mississippi and shatter the glass ceiling in the deep south?
Together we can take on the powerful special interests and build a campaign that will reach every corner of our state. With your support, we’re going to win this race, make history and make sure our entire community is truly represented.
Thank you so much,

Jennifer Riley Collins
Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Mississippi

Katie: We did it

Image
We did it, friend! Over the past nine months, we worked together to build our grassroots campaign from the ground up. Our volunteers pounded the pavement to talk to voters, our staff put in long hours and late nights, and we fought for every last vote. Our grassroots donors chipped in $5 here and $10 there to make sure we had the resources to compete. And your hard work paid off, big time. I'm proud to be Pennsylvania's Democratic nominee to take on -- and beat -- Pat Toomey this November. Pennsylvanians deserve a champion who will fight on behalf of families to make college more affordable, to raise the minimum wage, and to make sure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. Friend, we've got a long, hard road ahead -- but our victory today proves that this grassroots team has what it takes to pull together and win. I'll be calling on you for your support soon enough. But right now, I just want to say thank you. I mean it when I say I couldn't

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Image
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

Gabby: look at how far we’ve come

    Robert, For me,  EMILY's List has always been like family.  You were with me since I first ran for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. Every step of the way, EMILY's List has always asked: "What can we do to help?" I've seen it time after time -- EMILY's List is there for Democratic women facing tough fights at every level of government. Will you join me and make sure women running for office -- from city council to President  -- get the support they need? EMILY's List was there to help my good friend Kirsten Gillibrand become a Congresswoman and now Senator of New York. They supported another good friend of mine, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as she rose to chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. And, today, I am in Washington to help them recognize Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams with the Rising Star Award -- an honor given to a woman with a promising future of public service ahead of her -- at t

Stephanie Cutter: with you on our side, we can get the truth out there.

Image
Friend -- Mitt Romney spoke in front of 65,000 empty seats at Ford Field in Detroit today to outline his economic plan. With all eyes on the Michigan primary next week, this is a critical time to spread the truth. The differences between his plan and President Obama's go much farther than the fact that he would've "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." We've laid out a few in this week's tipsheet. Take a look, then pass these on right now while the story's still hot: #1 KEEPING HIS WORD: THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY As Romney speaks in Detroit, folks shouldn't forget that he and every other GOP candidate opposed the auto recovery, preferring to let the industry go bankrupt. From Day One, President Obama has stood with the American auto industry , saying, "We cannot, and must not, and we will not let our auto industry simply vanish." He's kept his word: More than 1.4 million American auto industry jobs have been saved, 200,000 created, and mor

Cory: promise of opportunity.

Image
Robert, In January, 250,000 New Jersey families got a much-needed raise when our state's minimum wage increase kicked in. Why can't we give a raise to workers across the country? Well, this week the Senate is debating a federal minimum wage bill that would raise the minimum wage nationwide to $10.10 an hour. This change would affect millions of people, improving lives, making families stronger, and boosting our economy by increasing demand for goods and services. Yet we're hearing the same wrong-headed excuses from critics who say helping out the lowest wage earners will hurt the economy. To push back against this opposition and build momentum for a nationwide increase, I'm partnering with Senator Mark Udall and Progressives United to show as much support as possible for this crucial legislation. Join me, Mark Udall, Progressives United members, and thousands of fellow supporters today. Sign our joint petition telling Congress to act now to raise the m

Karli: Cracks about Birkenstocks

Image
Robert -- UNBELIEVABLE:  You absolutely must check out this ridiculous ad attacking Bernie that the National Republican Congressional Committee is running against DFA-endorsed Congressional candidate Zephyr Teachout: Cracks about Birkenstocks and "zany professors" aside, Republicans must be really out of touch if they think tying progressive champions to Bernie Sanders is going to hurt them. According to a poll by the Economist and YouGov earlier this week, Bernie Sanders has a 53.6% favorability rating. He's more popular than any other politician in the survey, including billionaire bigot Donald Trump. And Bernie's positions on crucial issues like stopping the TPP, expanding social security and making billionaires pay their fair share are extremely popular, too -- even with Republican voters! Sorry, Republicans, but the days of scaring politicians out of supporting progressive policies by name-calling and fear-mongering are OVER.  The people are on our side,

Kate: discover the real Donald Trump

Image
Friend,  There's no doubt about it -- Donald Trump has captured the spotlight in the Republican presidential campaign. He says a lot of things that make it into the news -- and appeal to certain early voters --  but do we really know what he stands for?   Donald Trump has been so all-over-the-map on issue after issue, I wonder if we know what he really believes.  Does he share our conservative principles on taxpayer funded abortion, on the 2nd amendment, or even on taxes?  I don't know if Donald Trump's principles are our conservative principles, and friend, I'm frightened by what a Trump Presidency would look like. But don't take my word for it -- let Donald Trump speak for himself --  by watching our revealing new ad today.   Friend, don't miss this ad, the one that many thought changed the game. Once you watch, I think you'll know why voters have so many questions about Trump that they voted for another candidate... and after watching, I bet

Mary: Arkansans are frustrated with the news that comes out of Washington

Image
Friend, When Conner was a federal prosecutor, he saw some awful things -- terrible crimes that people commit, especially against children. But not once did I hear him say he wanted to walk away from the tough cases.  If anything, I only saw more of a resolve to make sure that these cases were handled appropriately and that justice was served.  He made a pledge to carry out his job, and he was going to do it, no matter how difficult the circumstances. That’s the type of senator Conner will be, too. One who honors his commitment to the people he represents.  One who sees things through. One who never stops fighting to make Arkansas a better place. I’m proud to support Conner in his Senate race, and I’m asking you to help, too.  Will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, before Saturday's end-of-month deadline? Conner gets that so many Arkansans are frustrated with the news that comes out of Washington. It’s always about more partisanship, more obstruction, more obstinance -- rarely
