Col Shames: Have you ever seen this picture?

Image
Dear robert,  It's Shames here again. If you don't remember me, well that's alright, I won't take offense. I'm a member of the E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division from WWII. This is the unit better known as "The Band of Brothers," and I'm the last surviving Officer.  Have you ever seen this picture?  Well back in the day it was famous. Then General Eisenhower talking to the troops – specifically the paratroopers of The 101st Airborne Division my old outfit – boosting their morale before they went into Normandy.  Where was I? Well I should have been in the picture, but I was building a sand table? Now, I know what you're thinking – these guys are getting ready to go to war and Shames is building sand castles. Nope, a sand table is a scale model of the enemy terrain so everyone knows where to go and more importantly where NOT to go.  This sand table was seen by every officer going into Normandy. Eisenhower himself came ov

I am dog-tired of hearing from Donald Trump

Image
  I'll just be blunt: Tonight's our last grassroots fundraising deadline of the election, and it would make a real difference if you're able to chip in. In the next few days, we're pitching in to support Warren Democrats in competitive races across the country. It's all powered by grassroots donors, and we need to hit our last goal by midnight tonight. But we're not quite there yet. I'm only asking because it is powerfully important: If you can, please make a donation of $2 or whatever makes sense before midnight tonight — the final grassroots fundraising deadline of this election — to support Warren Democrats and help turn the page on this dark chapter in our nation's history. I'm in this fight all the way because I am dog-tired of hearing from Donald Trump and his Republican enablers. I am tired of leaders driving our country into the ground. So I've endorsed some new voices — 150 candidates around the country who believe that government can be

Carly: Why I accepted

Image
Black Independenty, Today, I am proud to announce that I have accepted Ted Cruz's offer to be his Vice Presidential nominee.  As a loyal supporter, I want to tell you why:  It's clear the media elites are ready to anoint Donald Trump as the Republican nominee  before this race is even over. It's also clear, that Donald Trump's nomination would be a disaster for America.  If Trump is our nominee, conservatives will be forced to choose between two liberals in November: both corrupt, both big government crony capitalists, and both part of the system that has gotten us in the mess we're in.  Worse, if we nominate Donald Trump, we would be guaranteeing four years of Hillary Clinton in the White House.  That's why I'm asking you to please stop what you are doing right now and commit to joining our campaign by making a special, urgent contribution.  STAND WITH TED AND CARLY  Over the past weeks, I've traveled the country with Senator Cruz and his wife He

President George H.W. Bush: guilty pleasure

GOP .com Robert, I don’t know what your guilty pleasures are in life, but one of mine is socks. I’m a self-proclaimed sock man. The louder, the brighter, the crazier the pattern -- the better! It’s usually the first thing people notice I’m wearing whenever I’m out in public and that’s the way I like it. So when Chairman Reince Priebus asked me to write to you on behalf of the Republican National Committee (RNC), I told him I’d be happy to do it. But on one condition:  my letter to you had to involve socks. I’m proud to say the RNC has commissioned a limited-edition pair of socks in my honor. Embroidered with the Republican elephant and my signature on them, they’re sure to get you noticed. You can get your own pair today or as a gift for your favorite Republican by sending a special campaign contribution of $35 or more to the RNC now.  And if you donate $35 or more to the RNC now, your gift will be matched by a group of donors.  Robert, it’s important you act now on thi

Kirsten Gillibrand: speak up in support of this landmark civil rights act now.

Robert, The Supreme Court’s oral arguments on the  Voting Rights Act  begin today. We have to speak up in support of this landmark civil rights act now. There’s no time for silence.  Not when a strike to this civil rights law would cause serious harm to our democracy. In this case, an Alabama county is arguing that a provision of the Act – requiring local governments to get the Justice Department’s approval before making changes that affect voting – has outlived its use. I only wish it were so. In reality, too many states are cynically passing restrictive voter ID laws and forcing some voters to wait hours just to cast a ballot. We have to do better. We can’t go backward. President Obama  has spoken out. We have to join him. Click here to tell the Supreme Court that we support the Voting Rights Act. The entirety of the Voting Rights Act remains critical. Undermining it could lead to citizens being egregiously and unfairly denied their right to vote. That would be u

Black Conservatives: a powerful strategy.

Image
Dear Fellow Conservative, This year's mid-term elections were phenomenal. After a year of hard-fought campaigns, conservatives finally took back the U.S. Senate! But it's not time to take it easy yet. We still have one more battle left to fight. The Black Conservatives Fund is going all-out in the Louisiana runoff election. Republican  Bill Cassidy   MUST  win this U.S. Senate seat. Our ability to stop Barack Obama's radical nominees and the rest of his economy-killing agenda depends on it! Please make a special last-minute contribution of $15, $25, $35, $50, $100, $250, or more right now. We need to raise $50,000 for this historic, boots-on-the-ground, door-to-door campaign. And we need to do it as quickly as possible. The mid-terms' amazing results show that going door-to-door and talking to voters personally wins elections. So, we are targeting a unique set of persuadable black voters in the critical city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We plan to

Bernie: We must focus on Congress now

Image
Robert, All across our country, as a result of the disastrous Supreme Court decision on Citizens United, billionaires are trying to buy elections for candidates who will represent the wealthy and the powerful. There is no better example of this than in Wisconsin, where big money interests are spending millions to defeat progressive champion Russ Feingold. Russ, throughout his career, has led the effort for campaign finance reform, civil rights, the protection of our privacy and the needs of working people. He opposed the war in Iraq, led the effort against the Patriot Act and wants to see that the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the Koch Brothers and the billionaire class want to keep Russ out of the Senate. The problem is,  they're spending so much money in Wisconsin's Senate race that Russ could lose. The billionaire class has already spent $7.5 million in outside spending to defeat Russ. He&

ShePac: Deeds not words

Image
  Fellow Patriot, Thanks to you, we have a reached a critical point in the 2014 elections. There are races across our nation with strong, conservative candidates who are on the tipping point. We've brought them this far - we can't fail now! In some parts of the country, early voting is already underway and many candidates are currently in second place. We've included a list below of the candidates who are in these critical races. We're asking you to call your friends and family in these states to help get out the vote! Democrats across America need to be scared. Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance, and millions more are out of work. This isn't the America voters were promised and ShePAC is letting voters know that there is an alternative. These are the six conservative women that ShePAC is supporting this November who will be ready to take on the liberals in Washington D.C. and take back the Senate for the Republican Party.  It's ti

I'm Val Demings, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate

Image
  Robert, we wanted to make sure you saw the exciting news: Val Demings is running for U.S. Senate in Florida! Will you split a $5 donation to Val Demings and Jacky Rosen to flip Florida blue and defend our Senate majority? CONTRIBUTE ---Original Message from Val Demings--- Robert, I'm Val Demings, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate to defeat Marco Rubio and win better, stronger leadership for the people of Florida. Senator Rosen said I could reach out because we're barely out of the gate, and election experts are already calling this a top battleground race for the Senate. Just 10,033 votes (0.2 percentage points) decided Florida's last Senate race -- so I'll tell you the plain truth: I cannot win this without you. That's why I'm asking you to become one of my first donors by splitting $5 or more between my campaign and Jacky Rosen now. Every dollar you can spare will help us build the strongest grassroots operation to defeat Rubio, flip Florida blue and d
