Florida voting rights are under attack

 

 

Robert,

After years of fear-mongering and false claims of election fraud, Governor DeSantis has now taken his anti-democracy agenda a step further by signing into law a bill that makes it even easier for Republicans to suppress the votes of the elderly, minority voters, and Democrats around the state in 2022 and beyond. They have shown again and again that they will stop at nothing to stack the deck in their own favor. We can’t let them continue these efforts.

 

If Republicans can’t win elections without playing dirty (like making it a crime to give water to voters waiting in line at the polls) they have no business leading our state. Our leaders should be concerned with improving the lives of working Floridians and tackling real life-or-death issues like unemployment. Meanwhile, all DeSantis and his GOP cronies seem to care about is supporting the dangerous lies of their mentor, Donald Trump.

 

I firmly believe that our right to vote is sacred. That’s why I led the charge to pass two bills, SB 706 and SB 798, which would have reduced bureaucratic red tape and financial obstacles in the voter registration process so that all eligible Floridians can exercise their right to vote. Even though Republicans blocked both of these common-sense bills, I want you to know that I will keep fighting until every eligible Floridian is guaranteed the right to vote. 

 

As we speak, dark money Republican special interest groups like the Koch Brothers are pumping money into voter suppression efforts across the state of Florida, but together, we can take our power back. Donate today to help power our fight to bring real voting rights — and real change — to Florida!

 

 

 

Yours in the fight,
 


Annette Taddeo

Tom: We need to stand up and fight

Image
Robert,  I'm not much for small talk so I'll get right to it -  America is surrounded by determined enemies that want to destroy our way of life. The Constitution, our liberty, all of our values are meaningless to them. ISIS, Iran, North Korea - the list is long and threats are very real.  In order to defeat that kind of hate we need real leadership. The kind that takes guts.  That's why I'm asking you to join me in strongly supporting John McCain for reelection to the United States Senate with an urgent contribution of $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford.  To defeat America's enemies, we need our very best men on the job. And without John McCain in the Senate, we're simply taking it easy on terrorists and radicals.  Robert, we can't take patriots like John McCain for granted. He's also the top target for the liberal establishment who will do anything they can to see him defeated.  That's why I need you to join me by making an urgent contri...

Time to do something about it.

Robert -- Hate Senate Republicans' reckless use of the filibuster? Time to do something about it. Next Tuesday -- five days from today -- the Senate will vote on seven Obama appointees the Republicans have blocked, including Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If Republicans refuse to end their obstruction, Senator Harry Reid has promised to "go nuclear"  and move to eliminate the filibuster for administration appointees. This is our chance to take the first step to real filibuster reform, cutting the legs out from Republican opposition. Let's make sure we don't waste it. Tell Senate Democrats: End Republican abuse and support filibuster reform now. After years of abuse and endless rounds of failed negotiations, Senate Republicans have finally overplayed their hand and pushed Democrats too far -- now it's time to pay the piper. And while I wish we'd done it months ago, and I know this i...

James Kvaal Watch the video to learn more about today's student loan changes --

Image
James Kvaal is the Policy Director for Obama for America. Friend -- President Obama just took two serious steps to make life a lot easier for folks with student loans -- and there's a good chance you or someone you know will benefit from these changes very soon. Here's how:     -- Effective this January , if you're someone who has different kinds of loans -- guaranteed and direct -- you'll be able to roll them both into one direct loan and bring down your interest rate. You'll only have to write one check a month, and you'll see a discount. This switch adds no cost to taxpayers across the board.     -- You might remember that, as part of last year's student loan reform, borrowers' loan payments could be no higher than 10 percent of their disposable income. This is a big deal -- but it wasn't going to help anyone enrolling before 2014. Today, the President announced that he's speeding up this program so it will affect students next year -...

Jill: We will oppose oligarchy with democracy

Image
Friend --  You resisted  the neoliberalism of Hillary Clinton  and  the neofascism of Donald Trump. Thank you! The resistance against Trump and the failed corporate two-party system continues even before he is inaugurated, and will continue afterwards as well. The recounts in MI, PA and WI helped to reinvigorated the movement for election integrity. We will continue to fight to ensure that every vote counts. In addition to the recount we are resisting corporate rule through protest. On January 20th, we will join thousands of people and organizations from around the country in Washington DC to  Occupy Inauguration  - sending a message to Trump that we reject his dangerous presidency from the very start. On January 21st - day one of the Trump administration - we’ll be on Facebook Live with an all-day online forum featuring Greens, social movements, and progressives, sharing resources and inspiration to support resistance and transformation. We ...

Jim Messina; No group of people will influence this race more than the NBIP already have or will.

Image
Robert -- On Monday at 3:17 p.m. Central Time , we crossed 1 million grassroots donors -- including you -- who now own a piece of this campaign. Thanks for stepping up. No group of people will influence this race more than you already have or will. And you're the reason we'll be able to build an organization that's ready for the next million. The first million you're a part of includes 3,818 donors in Arkansas , and 13,251 people named Robert. But however you look at it, 1 million grassroots donors is a lot of people -- so the campaign put together an interactive way to show exactly what that looks like. Digging in, we saw what we already knew: This is the most diverse grassroots group in politics today, and the people who are part of it tell the story of this campaign -- that anyone who wants to can take ownership of the political process, whether they can afford to chip in $5 or $500. That is in drastic contrast to the way other campaigns are running th...

Patrick Kennedy: My father and uncles fought to build a society that takes care of the least among us.

Image
Dear Robert, Election Day is less than one year away. The very values that forged America’s middle class are at stake. My father and uncles fought to build a society that takes care of the least among us. Yet that social safety net is in imminent danger. Social Security, Medicare, health care reform – radicalized Republicans are bent on unraveling that safety net strand by strand and tossing it to the winds for the whims of those at the very top. We cannot allow it. We must not allow it. Here’s how to stop them: The DSCC needs $150,000 by Friday for its Year Out Project, not just to win an election, but to prevent Republicans from taking control and fundamentally changing the nature of this nation. If my father were here, he’d tell you it’s going to be a dogfight. We need you in it. Our majority is too small – and the risks too extreme – to leave anyone on the sidelines. The DSCC is counting on you to give $5 or more to the Year Out Project right now. We can’t afford to le...

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 ...

Mia: Americans deserve to know the full truth

Image
Dear  robert , Recently I was named to the select committee to investigate the alleged sale of fetal body parts by Planned Parenthood.  I recognize this as a great responsibility, and believe this needs to be a fair, non-partisan look into possible illegal activity conducted in the organization.   The recent horrific videos that have been released must be investigated.  We as Americans deserve to know the full truth behind what has been released. We must decide if we will stand for such actions in our society, and how we value human life. I hope you will join me in standing up for the sanctity of human life.  Sincerely,  Join Team Love To join Mia Love's reelection team email george@love4utah.com Or call 801-890-4355 Mia In The News Mia on Criminal Justice Reform, Salt Lake Tribune Rep.
