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 affordable housing, and so much more. It is our biggest and best chance.

Time and time again, we’ve witnessed Mitch McConnell put partisanship ahead of the American people.

With the filibuster still firmly in place, budget reconciliation is our one shot to advance our bold, progressive agenda before the midterms reach full swing.

So, let us know: What areas are you hoping to see Adam fight for in the budget reconciliation package?

Take our quick survey and let us know your top priorities. We’ll be sure to send your feedback to Adam. Your input helps ensure that Adam and our Democratic majorities are fighting for the priorities most important to you.

TAKE THE SURVEY

We can’t afford to let this opportunity pass and allow Mitch McConnell to keep weaponizing the filibuster and ruling the Senate from the minority. It’s time to act boldly and pass the progressive policies the American people voted for in November.

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Image
Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Paul: Elkhorn man recalls his role in civil rights marches

Image
CONSTITUENT HOTLINE 1-888-909-RYAN (7926)   Congress had the honor of hosting the foot soldiers of the 1965 Voting Rights Marches and presenting them with a  Congressional Gold Medal  . It was not just what they did, but how they did it. As they gathered in the U.S. Capitol, these men and women shared memories of their peaceful march from Selma to Montgomery, their fight for the right to vote and how they challenged America to live up to its principles of freedom, liberty, and equal rights for all. One of those Foot Soldiers honored was a man named Paul Simpson. Paul Ryan from Janesville, WI had the honor of meeting Paul Simpson, now of Elkhorn, WI. They talked about the marches and their lives in Wisconsin.  Reflecting on his place in history, Paul Simpson said, “I feel good about it.” And he always exercises the right he sacrificed so much for, voting in every local, state, and national election. Hear from Paul Simpson about his experiences in his own words.

America is crying for a change. Countless slayings of unarmed black men,

Image
                  Robert,   We are at a moment right now. The systemic racism that runs so deeply and freely throughout this country is on full display and America is crying for a change. Countless slayings of unarmed black men, a militarized police force with no standard of accountability, a President who wants nothing more than to fuel violence and fear – America is crying for a change. Black Lives Matter. Our time is now. The New York Times just published an article on the 922 most powerful people in this country.  Of them 742 are white and 180 aren’t. I’m one of the 180 and I want to make sure you understand how important that is. I’m here because of you. Your support has given a young progressive Black woman a seat at the table and we can’t afford to lose it. The work we are doing in Baltimore City is too important. We are front and center on a national stage right now paving the way for a desperately needed evolution of criminal justice reform. We can’t let this moment pass.  New

I urge everyone to get the vaccine if you need or want it.

Image
  Robert,   The left has gone completely COVID crazy.   They want government-enforced shutdowns, mask mandates, school closures, forced vaccines, and now they're talking about a COVID vaccine passport.   It's absolutely unconstitutional - not to mention, it's absurd. I AGREE: CHIP IN NOW TO STAND UP>> A Democrat politician famously said,  “never let a crisis go to waste.”   Boy, did this pandemic really see them put their shoulder into that old axiom.   Throughout the COVID crisis, these radicals have embraced theatrics, abandoned science, and the longer it goes on, the more they double down.    The newest power grab comes in the form of an alleged “Vaccine Passport” which would determine whether or not you’re “ALLOWED” to engage in your everyday life.   Want to go to the store? Show your vaccine card.   Want to go to a restaurant or concert? Did you tell the government what vaccines you’ve had?   Want to travel? VACCINE PAPERS PLEASE.   This is the slippery slope I w

Trump /Pence: Public Memo Condemning Hate!

Image
  TRUMP PENCE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER CONDEMNING HATE President Trump’s heart goes out to all those affected by the events in Charlottesville last weekend. The President condemns in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans. Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans

Credo: NBC is in bed with Trump

NBC’s unacceptable conflict of interest The petition to Comcast/NBCUniversal reads:   "Cut all business ties with Donald Trump.” Add your name: Dear robert, You cannot make this up. When "Celebrity Apprentice" returns to NBC in 2017, Donald Trump will still be executive producer of the show. This is an unprecedented moment, where  one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, Comcast/NBCUniversal, for all intents and purposes, will have a contractual arrangement with the president of the United States.  It creates a clear conflict of interest that undermines the credibility of NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC and makes it impossible to trust that any reporting on Trump has not been impacted by this business entanglement. NBC has a Trump problem that will only get worse once he is president.  To maintain any credibility as a news organization, the network needs to cut its ties now. Tell NBC: End your business relationship with Donald Trump. Click h

Marianne: Don't let angry voters destroy the election.

Image
Dear Black Independent, Many voters say “I just want someone who can win!”  I understand that, and it’s why I’m running. A politics of love is the BEST possible politics to defeat a politics of fear.  In 2016, people were angry. But that’s not the dominant emotional tenor of the American voter in 2019. Today, people are exhausted. They aren’t looking for a fight now; they’re looking for inspiration.  We need a candidate who can counter the president’s outrageously dangerous lies with outrageously exciting truths. His campaign in 2020 will be laced with fear, but mine will be stronger than his because it’s a politics laced with love.  What will win the presidency in 2020 is the ability to create a new political coalition—based not on people’s anger but on people’s conscience. Not on people’s rage, but on people’s desire to believe once again in the promise of America. And we will give it to them.  We’ll make every school in America a palace of learning, culture, and

Harry Reid: Democrats will always be the ones fighting for what’s right for the American people

Image
Dear Robert, We are locked in a struggle for America’s soul. Our very values are at risk. Rick Perry calls Social Security a “monstrous lie.” Paul Ryan dreams of ending Medicare forever. And the Republican response to the thought of an uninsured coma patient? Grisly, callous shouting from the audience. They want to reverse the steps our country took to care for the sick and prevent our parents and grandparents from living in squalor. Doing so would fundamentally change America. We simply must fight back. The Republicans want to ride a wave of frustration to win four Senate seats so they can remake America. Unless you contribute to the DSCC’s $662,000 goal before midnight on Sept. 30, we won’t have the resources to stop them in their tracks. This country could change forever. Don’t wait to fight for the ideals all of us believe in. Click here to rush $5 or more to the DSCC before midnight on Sept. 30. The Republicans are four seats away from a total congressional takeove

Dear Friend, Two weeks ago, over a thousand people gathered at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, NC to celebrate the Democratic National Convention Kick-off. The energy was electric as we shared the excitement of being part of history in the making.  DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz summed it up best when she said, This convention is about Americans coming together to commit ourselves and our country to a path that creates more opportunity. The success of this convention will be determined by the participation of you, the American people. This convention's success will be based on engaging the American spirit and involving people who want to put their shoulder to the wheel and change the country for the better. Now is the time that you can seize the momentum of that day by visiting our website and checking out the official 2012 convention merchandise store . I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
