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:

Tammy is a true trailblazer. She’s a combat Veteran, a mother who was the first senator to give birth while serving in office, and a fierce advocate for working parents, our Veterans and troops as well as for environmental justice. But national Republicans think they can win her seat and what’s more, they’re already targeting her.

I want you to think about everything we've achieved together over the past six months, from helping millions of Americans access the COVID vaccine to providing financial relief to families with children. This was only possible because of the Democratic majority in the Senate. If we lose it, all of our progress could grind to a halt.

That's why it's so critical that we defend Tammy's seat. Republicans are taking her race seriously and so must we.

Will you chip in today to support Tammy Duckworth and help Democrats hold on to the Senate?

-- Amy

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

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

Katherine Archuleta: Today President Obama announced a common-sense policy change that will make our immigration system fairer and smarter.

Friend -- I wanted to make sure you saw the news: Today President Obama announced a common-sense policy change that will make our immigration system fairer and smarter. I'm proud to support it, and I hope you are, too. Under the administration's guidance, immigration courts are going to focus on deporting people who have been convicted of crimes or who pose a security risk. This means that the courts will focus less on "low-priority" cases -- like young people who were brought here as small children and know no other home, or veterans and military spouses. So the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice will be reviewing the current deportation caseload, clearing out low-priority cases, and making sure they don't get into the system in the first place -- keeping the focus on cases that will make our country safer. It's a smart, strategic change. And it will make a difference. But more comprehensive change requires Congress to act.

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.
