Lena: Millions of Americans depend on the Delaware River

Image
Tell the commission: we want a COMPLETE fracking ban Submit a comment now Dear Black, Millions of Americans depend on the Delaware River Basin as a source for clean drinking water.  But newly proposed regulations on fracking and related activities could put it in peril. Submit your public comment: we need a complete ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) just proposed a new set of regulations on fracking. While they call for a ban on drilling and fracking,  the regulations leave the door open for fracking waste to enter the watershed.   The draft regulations are a half-measure that won't protect the watershed from the dangers of fracking. If these regulations are approved, companies could take water for drilling, and fracking waste could jeopardize the safety of drinking water for millions of people reliant on the Delaware. Tell the DRBC: we want a FULL ban on all fracking-related activities. With your...

Ben: "Can somebody attack me, please?", Oh right, Liberal Media can't take a Joke.

Image
Robert, Sadly, last night's debate was once again defined by personal attacks and hostile rhetoric. In order to get more speaking time, I jokingly asked, "Can somebody attack me, please?" From taxes to religious liberty to the future of the U.S. Supreme Court, I remained focused on offering my vision for a better, more hopeful America because that's what this race is all about. It's not about me, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich as individuals -- it's about the American people and the type of future we must build together. I am absolutely committed to this race because I remain convinced that there is still a place in presidential politics for civility, positivity and common-sense solutions. Remember, our goal is not just to defeat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Our goal is to inspire and rally the American people around a positive vision of freedom, safety and opportunity for all. We will never be successful by tearing each ...

Chris: The grassroots is fired up

Image
Robert, As Political Director, it's my role to train future grassroots leaders, engage communities and help our volunteers. The RNC is building the largest, earliest and most data focused field program in GOP history. And the kick-off GOP presidential debate confirmed the energy we're seeing out in the field: 24 million people tuned in to the Cleveland debate, and thousands hosted GOP watch parties that the RNC organized: The grassroots is fired up.  Here's what's going on in the field: More than 2,000 individuals have applied to be a part of our Republican Leadership Initiative (RLI). We are training and deploying field organizers throughout the entire country. Our field program is expected to expand to thousands of paid staff across the country. Like what you see? This is just the skeleton – and we need to go twice as far to take back the White House. Take your commitment to the next level by  becoming an Official RNC Member today. Every donation you mak...

Ruben: I'm standing

Image
Robert - I deployed to Iraq as a United States Marine in 2005. I cleared houses, fought insurgents, and lost friends. Not too long after I returned, I signed up to serve as VoteVets' Arizona State Captain. When i decided to run for State Representative, VoteVets was there for me. And that support continued through my recent election to the U.S. House of Representatives. My story is not entirely unique: VoteVets has helped elect dozens of veteran leaders at all levels of government. And this year, they face their biggest challenge yet: electing Tammy Duckworth and Jason Kander to the U.S. Senate. I'm standing with VoteVets in that effort, and I hope you'll join me. Make a $5 contribution to VoteVets today. What's more, even after the final vote was counted last November, we've continued to work together on issues like debt-free college and keeping our communities safer from gun violence. When it comes to electing and organizing veterans to advance progressi...

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Jacky: “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.”

Image
Robert, “Every heartbeat hurts.” “My chest hurts.” “I can’t feel my heart.” According to investigators from the inspector general’s office, these are just a few of the many heart-wrenching reports of anxiety and post-traumatic stress they are receiving from children separated from their parents by the Trump Administration’s inhumane immigration policies. These children have been irreversibly harmed and will be dealing with the impacts for their rest of their lives. We must continue to speak out and fight back for the children who have been affected by President Trump’s horrifying family separation policies. Add your name now. It is totally unacceptable that children in U.S. custody are not receiving the proper care and treatment they need. From a lack of basic hygiene items like soap to necessary health care services like the flu vaccine, we’ve seen report after report confirming the cruelty these children are experiencing on our government’s watch. These children mu...
