Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.

  Friend — Voters, supporters, and organizers across the country elected our Democratic majorities and President Biden to force change. To rebuild our economy, save our planet from the climate crisis, and rescue our democracy from the abuses of an authoritarian cult of personality surrounding the former president. Mitch McConnell should not get to decide which bills Congress passes in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to carry out that mandate. So while the Senate negotiates a bipartisan infrastructure deal, we need to make sure that the budget reconciliation package — which can pass with 50 Democratic votes — includes robust investments not only in roads, tunnels, and bridges but also in families and workers. Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.   Team Schiff Budget Priorities Survey TAKE THE SURVEY The reconciliation package is a critical opportunity to address climate change, expand Medicare, invest in afford

Kirsten Gillibrand: Women are counting on us. They deserve to be safe

Image
Robert, When it comes to the  Violence Against Women Act , it’s really quite simple: There is no room for violence against women anywhere in our society. Not now – and not ever. Sen.  Patrick Leahy , Sen. Patty Murray, and I have made passing VAWA our first priority. As chair of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Leahy has pledged to bring this up for a vote next week. But we need you to help us pass it. We have always had a bipartisan consensus on VAWA. In 2005, the House voted to reauthorize it 415-4. But now, for the first time in 20 years, House Republicans refused to support the bill, allowing this crucial piece of legislation to expire. There is no reason we shouldn’t be able to come together now. Help us tell House Republicans the political circus has to end. Women cannot wait any longer. You can make a difference by speaking out. Join Sen. Leahy, Sen. Murray, and me as we stand with women and tell House Republicans: End the partisan games and renew VAWA. We cannot co

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 to

Martin: the enduring symbol of our nation isn't the barbed wire fence

Friend, Throughout my service as Mayor, as Governor and campaign for president, I never wavered on the need to pass comprehensive immigration reform. I believe that our outdated and inhumane immigration laws no longer meet our economic needs, our national security imperatives, or most importantly, our values as a people. I believe that we need to lead with the compassionate message and actions that have made us who we are: a nation of immigrants, bonded together by our diverse beliefs and traditions. Immigration is what has made America, America. And while much can be done by bold executive action, it is no substitute for Congressional action. We need leaders in Washington who will tirelessly stand up to the kind of hateful, misguided rhetoric we've seen thrown at the millions of New Americans and fight to forge consensus on an issue that has shaped this country. I believe Braddock, Pennsylvania Mayor John Fetterman is that kind of leader, and that's why today, I

Listen as Paul shares stories about what he has learned from combating HIV/AIDS, the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and building clinics in countries like Haiti, Rwanda, and Mexico – and why he is optimistic about the future of public health.

Jim Messina: Organizing for Action's First Mission: Saving America's Children From Gun Violence. All Races

Robert -- Today in Nevada,  President Obama  laid out his plan for  comprehensive immigration reform , and right now, he needs to know who's ready to help get this done. Add your name in support of the President's plan for immigration reform today. Ask pretty much anyone, and they'll agree: Our nation's immigration system is broken. But working together, we can fix it so everyone plays by the same rules. To that end, the President has proposed the following steps: - Continue to strengthen and secure our borders; - Crack down on companies that hire undocumented workers; - Establish a legal path to earned citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants who are already here -- including children who were brought here through no fault of their own; - And streamline legal immigration for those who are already playing by the rules. Solving this problem is not only essential to a strong economy and a thriving middle class, it's also the right thing to do. The time

Jennifer Petty: We have to fight back

Image
Dear robert l., We walked into this year with high hopes that Congress would finally get something done. But this is almost like an abusive relationship. The Republicans in Congress will say and do anything to tear us all down. Please give $5 to stop the Republicans in Congress. The neoconservatives in the Senate have declared Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee for defense secretary, enemy number 1. They have drawn out the process to confirm him and have gone to great lengths to demand the president withdraw his name. They want us all to forget that a majority of the Senate stated they would vote yes to confirm Mr. Hagel's nomination. Please give $5 to stop the Republicans in Congress. And when we thought it couldn’t get worse, the Republicans in Congress are moving the country dangerously close to the “sequester” deadline of  March 1st  without working out a deal with the White House. If sequester happens, there will be $85 billion in across-the-board cuts in discre

Messina: Take a minute right now to call your members of Congress -- then let us know how it went

Friend -- The President spoke Monday night about the need for Congress to come together to meet our financial obligations by raising the so-called "debt ceiling" -- that is, to make sure our country can pay the bills Congress has already racked up. You'd think this would be fairly straightforward. For many years, regardless of party affiliation, presidents have asked Congress to do this when it's been necessary -- and every time, Congress has acted. Just as an example, Congress granted Ronald Reagan's request to raise the debt ceiling 18 different times. Here's what's happening: President Obama proposed the balanced approach of raising the debt ceiling paired with responsible steps to reduce our country's long-term debt -- asking oil companies, corporations, and the richest Americans to do their part rather than placing the entire burden on seniors and the middle class. A deal has been close at times, but an ideological faction of House Republi

Amy K. Dacey: high-priority races

Image
robert, After an intense Presidential race, a highly stressful chicken fight over the fiscal cliff, and now this sequester stalemate, it might feel tempting to chuck it all and take a break from politics. But believe me,  the Republicans aren't taking a break.  RNC Chair  Reince Priebus  has vowed to "seize the lead" in election technology while expanding the GOP's electoral map in order to play in more states. The Koch Brothers' Americans for Prosperity has spawned a new secret money group tasked with an under-the-radar push for their extremist agenda. That means that we can't take a break either.  We've got high-priority races already moving at breakneck speed  -- with elections  this year . We've got to keep the heat on congressional Republicans still doggedly pushing anti-woman, anti-family policies. So there's no rest for me, Stephanie, or anyone else at EMILY's List. We've got to keep pace with the GOP so we can protect our gains a
