Jessica will be a voice in Congress

 

Justice Democrats

Black Independent Party,

Jessica Cisneros’ campaign is already making headlines, but tomorrow, a lot of folks are going to be talking about how much money she was able to raise on day one.

Jessica will be a voice in Congress to fix the inhumane carceral immigration system, fight for Medicare for All, and bring good-paying union jobs to South Texas. But unseating Henry Cuellar, who is backed by the Koch brothers and other Republican donors, will be no easy task.

Will you be a Day One Donor and chip in $3 to Jessica’s campaign? We need to prove to the establishment that we have the momentum needed to unseat Cuellar and grow the progressive coalition in Congress.

Be a Day One Donor

Unlike Rep. Cuellar, Jessica won’t accept a dime of corporate PAC money because she knows that Texans need a Congressperson to serve the interests of the community, not corporations. As a conservative Democrat, Cuellar voted against worker protections and even helped further Trump’s agenda in Congress.

Alexandria, Cori, Jamaal, and Marie all defeated out-of-touch Democratic incumbents because of small-dollar donations from people like yourself. With your help, we’ll elect Jessica to join them in Congress.

Can we count on you to go on the record as a Day One Donor of Jessica’s campaign and make a contribution? Today most people have given $10, but any amount you can chip in will make a difference.

Your support on day one makes a critical impact, especially since Rep. Cuellar has already said that this race will be a fight. We need to make sure that Jessica’s race has all the resources it needs to start organizing right now.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats

Tammy is a true trailblazer. She’s a combat Veteran,

    Hi -- Democrats' majority in the Senate is incredibly thin, which means we need to protect every seat if we want to keep making progress on issues like infrastructure, climate change and more. My friend Tammy Duckworth is up for reelection next year, and I could use your help to make sure she stays in the Senate. Will you split a donation between Tammy and me today? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Amy Klobuchar and Tammy Duckworth: DONATE $5 DONATE $25 DONATE $50 DONATE $100 DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT Tammy is a true trailblazer.

Jenny Beth Martin: We’re not going to simply sit in Washington

Image
Dear Patriot, Just a few days ago, we announced our  grassroots-powered ,  boots-on-the-ground  strategy to defeat big government incumbents all over America this year. And we are on the cusp of unveiling our list of endorsed Tea Party candidates for 2014. But before we can do that, we need your support to secure the funding that will push these candidates to victory! Please, make your very best contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford to the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund right now, and help us gear up for this year’s critical battles in Kentucky, South Carolina, and elsewhere.

And in  Kentucky , we are already coordinating with local Tea Party activists who have lost faith in the weak-kneed R...

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

Image
  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 ...

Republican challengers emerge in VA-10

Image
  Friend, I wanted to take a moment as we begin August to thank you for your continued support of my campaign. We managed to meet our last monthly goal, ensuring that -- even as more Republican challengers emerge in VA-10 -- we have the resources to keep expanding our outreach and lay the groundwork for victory in 2022. Families and businesses throughout our district continue to benefit from the American Rescue Plan. And Congress is on the verge of passing a major infrastructure bill -- which I'm working hard to ensure is comprehensive in addressing broadband access, public transit, waterways, and climate. Even in the face of immense challenges, we're showing that elections have (positive) consequences, and that government can take bold actions to improve people's lives. The progress we're making wouldn't be possible without you. I'm grateful for all you've done to help me fight to advance our values at every turn. And I'm excited to see what we can acco...

John Coady: Know More about Kay Hagan

Image
Robert, I knew quite a bit about Kay before I joined the campaign. At least I thought I did. You and I both know she’s a fierce advocate for improving education, supporting our veterans, servicemembers and their families, and ensuring that all North Carolinians have access to health care. But as I just learned over dinner with Kay and Chip, she’s full of surprises. Here are a couple of them: Did you know that Kay used to be a ballet dancer, or that when she was an intern at the Capitol in the ‘70s, she operated an elevator that took senators to and from the chamber? One dinner wasn’t enough to hear it all, which is why I’m coming to you.  I thought it would be fun to have you ask the questions, and Kay thought so too. Want to know more about Kay? Click here to submit your questions. She’ll answer as many as she can through a video that we’ll send around. Kay has some amazing stories.  What do you want to know about Kay?
