Nicholas Whatley wants Ted Cruz to know

 

 

Ted Cruz flew to Cancun for a vacation during a historic power outage in his state when hundreds of thousands of his constituents are still without power, clean water, food or heat.

Iraq War Veteran and San Antonio resident Nicholas Whatley wants Ted Cruz to know that fleeing his state during an emergency is a dereliction of duty as a leader and his pathetic excuses aren’t fooling anybody.

We need to keep up this drumbeat to make sure every Texan knows that their Senator abandoned them during their moment of crisis. Because Texans deserve better than Ted Cruz. So much better.

Elizabeth: three of the closest tossup Senate races

Image
Robert, I was just in Colorado and Iowa with Mark Udall and Bruce Braley over the weekend, and let me tell you: The people there are fighting their hearts out. We all have to do absolutely the same if we want to keep the majority in the Senate. I know you're probably getting a TON of emails right now from tight campaigns all across the country (I am too.) But I wanted to recommend three of the closest tossup Senate races in the country -- three campaigns where every dollar could make a difference: Iowa Democrat Bruce Braley is down by four points in one poll and up just one in another. Alaska Democrat Mark Begich is down by 2-6 points in the four most recent polls. And Colorado Democrat Mark Udall is in a dead heat in the most recent poll. All three of them are getting slammed by vicious attack ads from powerful Super PACs. Republicans know that if we lose Iowa, Alaska, and Colorado two weeks from now, our chances of keeping the Democratic majority in the S...

Violence against women is one of the most demonic forces on earth

Image
Dear Black Independent, During this year’s Women’s History month, I’ve been thinking less about history made by women who came before us and more about the history we are making now. To women fifty and a hundred years from now, we will be the ones looked back on as the women who made history. Women having achieved power unimagined in former times, people will look back at this time and say we did it! But let’s do more than have them say that we did it; let’s make sure they can say that we did it well. This year, during Women’s History month, let’s not simply celebrate the past; let’s dedicate ourselves more deeply to a better future for all. Let’s not just celebrate the power we’ve gained; let’s think ever more deeply how to use our power for the greater good. Especially let’s not forget the women around the world who are not as fortunate as we. Violence against women is one of the most demonic forces on earth, and always has been. Around the world each day, thousands of wom...

Adam: didn't have email in 1991

Image
  Friend, In a moment, I'm going to ask if you can donate to support my campaign, but first I wanted to tell you the story of how I lost my first two elections and why I decided to run for Congress in the first place. I first ran for the California State Assembly in 1991, and I lost. Badly. I tried again in 1994, and got a little bit closer, but still, there are no prizes for second place in politics. But I persisted. Why? Because I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to serve my community, my state, and ultimately the nation, and I thought elected office was one way I could do that. Flash forward to 1996, the third time was the charm and I was elected to the State Senate. I was able to pass bills to improve health care and education, help constituents get what they needed, and serve on committees that were actually doing something. It was a great job, and I loved it. That's when my constituents encouraged me to challenge a Republican House incumbent in a ...

Now the NRA is trying to make an example out of Angela

Image
robert,     Angela Giron listened to the people of Colorado after the tragic shootings in Aurora and Newtown. The state senator bravely cast the deciding vote for commonsense gun safety legislation in Colorado six months ago. Now the NRA is trying to make an example out of Angela. They've spent $361,703 on a recall campaign to kick her out of office.  Protesters have even used extreme tactics to bully and intimidate her.  Angela's recall election is next week -- and she urgently needs our help. It's times like these in Colorado where the EMILY's List community can make a real difference for our candidates. Make a contribution to EMILY's List right now to help show what we can do.   Angela Giron is an EMILY's List Political Opportunity Program alumna and has stood up for women and families during her 30 years in public service. As a state senator, she's fought to pass...

Stephanie Schriock: Senate is scheduled to vote on renewing the Violence Against Women Act

Image
Dear robert, Frankly, I'm disgusted that I even have to write this message. You would think that if any issue was safe from political posturing, it would be violence against women. But no. Next week, the Senate is scheduled to vote on renewing the Violence Against Women Act, and Republicans can't stop playing politics for a single day on an issue this important.  Many, many Republicans in Congress have announced their opposition to renewing the Act -- including some of those running against our women. This vote could actually be close. It's enough to make me want to throw up my hands and scream. But that won't help the women who need the protections in this law. What will help them? Showing them that we're standing together to protect women's health and safety. The vote is coming soon, so we need you to act right now. Click here to tell Republicans to stop playing politics with women's lives. Since President Clinton first signed it, the Violence ...

Bernie: the American people cannot afford to wait for transformational change.

Image
Robert - I just left the stage at the final debate before 14 caucuses and primaries take place over the  next three weeks.  And the message I sent to those who have yet to vote is that the American people cannot afford to wait for transformational change. We’ve heard a lot of folks in the political establishment, and  tonight  on the stage, say that our ideas are too bold. That the best we can do right now is incremental change. But as my dear friend Senator Nina Turner has said,  "the future of our country is too important to go from yes we can to no we can’t." I think our campaign's message is why we left Iowa beating everyone’s expectations, won by huge margins in New Hampshire, and why we will do so well in the 14 contests over the  next three weeks.  But time is running out, and that’s why I have to ask you directly: Make a $3 contribution to our campaign tonight and we will win the Democratic primary, the White House, and take our co...

Messina: Top 5 reasons not to vote for Mitt Romney

1. Romney's positions are the most radically anti-women of any candidate in a generation:  He supports banning all abortions, backed a so-called "personhood" amendment that could make certain forms of birth control illegal, and says he would "get rid of" federal funding for Planned Parenthood that provides preventive services like cancer screenings for millions of women. 2. Romney would repeal Obamacare.  Insurance companies would once again be allowed to run up premiums, unjustifiably deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, drop patients when they get sick, discriminate against women by charging them more for coverage than men, and spend more of your premium dollars on CEO profits and bonuses instead of your actual health care. 3. Romney is a risk when it comes to foreign policy and national security.  On many of these questions, he has shifted his position for political reasons, even within the same campaign. His only clear commitment is to endless wars: He...

Howard: true to our belief

Robert -- I want to thank you for the touching birthday wishes I have received from Democracy for America members over the past several days. Reading your words was a striking reminder of the breadth and depth of everything we have built together over the last decade.  Dean for America was always more than just a presidential campaign.  And in the same way, Democracy for America has always been more than just another political organization. We're a community.  We not only share the same values -- we have history together. We've fought the same fights, side by side. And when we win, we win together. In a world like this -- where political organizations are proliferating rapidly in the aftermath of  Citizens United , many of which are shady and nefarious -- that is an incredible thing.  A people-powered community driven by the 50 State Strategy was the vision that fueled the founding of Democracy for America and it is the vision that has sustained it for ove...
