Hey, I know my team and I have been emailing you a lot recently asking for your support. But I wanted to take a second to explain why your support matters in this crucial race.

Not only is my opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, endorsed by Donald Trump – he’s also a faithful advocate for the most disastrous elements of Trump’s agenda, and wants to implement them here in New Jersey. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Republican price hike bill that will throw hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans off their health care.

And now, Ciattarelli’s being supported by a MAGA super PAC that’s pouring millions of dollars into negative ads that make one false assertion after another about my record and my character.

In a race this close and with the stakes this high, we need to have the resources to be able to fight back, and we can only do that with your support. Can you split $10 (or whatever you can) between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project so we can stop our opponent and protect New Jersey?

But this race isn’t about what we’re fighting against — it’s about what we’re fighting for.

My vision for our state is simple: Make life better for New Jerseyans. I’ll fight to bring health care, housing, child care, and energy costs down, tackle crime and keep our communities safe, and defend our constitutional freedoms from the right-wing extremists who are taking our nation down a destructive path.

Here’s the deal — we’re in an extremely competitive race, but lots of voters still haven’t made up their minds. Your support helps us spread our message across New Jersey, so we can build the coalition we need to win this race. That’s why I’m humbly asking you to split a contribution between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project — it’ll make a critical difference in helping us protect New Jersey.

Thank you,
Mikie

Al Franken: Senators Boxer, Gillibrand, Blumenthal and I are working to bring justice to victims of sexual assault in the military

Dear Robert, We might not like to think that our men and women in uniform are at risk of being sexually assaulted when they volunteer to serve our country -- but the ugly truth is, it happens far too often. This month, the Department of Defense estimated that more than 26,000 cases of sexual assault took place in the military in 2012. It gets worse. The year before, only 10 percent of reported cases - only a fraction of the total - ever resulted in a trial where the victims could find justice. A stunning 62 percent of victims felt like they were retaliated against for coming forward. The system is broken. And we need to fix it. Click here to join me and Senators Barbara Boxer (CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) and Richard Blumenthal (CT) as we fight to fix our military’s response to sexual assault. Unbelievably, even if a jury does issue a conviction, senior military officers with no legal training -- and, often, glaring conflicts of interest -- can throw that conviction out with no e...

Ashley: critical support

robert -- Thank you for joining Ashley Miller for State Representative. Your support is critical and I am glad you are part of this campaign. Ashley Miller for State Representative http://www.ashleymiller2014.com/ Thanks again! Warmest Regards, Ashley Miller

“Al Franken must be defeated.” -- Conservative Campaign Committee email Dear Robert, I just got an email from the “Conservative Campaign Committee” about their upcoming attack ad against Al. “The goal of our first round of radio ads,” they write, “will be to lower Franken’s level of support and to put him in a position where he will be vulnerable for defeat.” And they’re asking their Tea Party supporters to raise the last $2,000 or so they need to fund the buy. Well, I think we should show the Conservative Campaign Committee -- and all the other right-wing special interest groups targeting Al -- that it’s going to take more than a nasty attack ad to beat our people-powered grassroots machine. While they’re raising $2,000 to fund their smear attack, let’s raise $25,000 to fight back -- and let’s do it before Friday! Click here to give. This group may be about to launch its first round of ads -- but it won’t be the last, and they certainly won’t be the last shady group to g...

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. ...

Dear Robert, While the Koch Brothers make billions off polluting our planet, polar bears are struggling as global warming melts away Arctic ice and threatens their future. The Koch Brothers' dirty oil money funds a network of climate-denier groups and campaigns trying to block climate legislation. Our friends at the National Wildlife Federation Action Fund are fighting to make sure the Koch Brothers don't win. Take action to make sure your members of Congress will stand up to the Big Polluters who are trying to obstruct climate action! -Ross Wallen, USAction Polar Bears Going Hungry as Arctic Ice Diminishes Don't Let the Koch Brothers Win > > Dear Robert , High summer temperatures are melting away Arctic ice at alarming levels. And in response, Alaska's polar bears are going without food for longer and longer . Meanwhile, an in-depth report by American University's Investigative Reporting Workshop has uncovered that billionaire fos...

Scarlett: tell them thanks from me!

Robert -- I think you know by now how incredibly high the stakes are on November 4th, especially for women. And if we don't want to wake up on November 5th and find ourselves on the fast track back in time on women's rights, it's critical that Democrats vote. That starts with you, Robert. Will you take a moment to confirm your polling place, and then forward this email to three of your friends? http://my.democrats.org/Lookup If the Republicans take back the Senate, one of the first things they will try to dismantle will be a woman's right to make her own personal health care decisions. This year, I have been appalled again and again by decisions from the GOP and even the Supreme Court that attack a woman's right to choose, and this is our chance to take action. Our votes on Tuesday are all that can stop Republicans from doing even more damage. So please, even if you remember your polling place, take a moment to confirm that it hasn't changed, and check that yo...

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...

I was around Jason’s age when I first ran for U.S. Senate. His race reminds me a lot of mine. Like Jason, I was up against a long-time incumbent. Like Jason, when I started my campaign, very few people in Washington thought we had a chance. We proved them wrong, exactly like you folks are doing now. But you’re up against something we didn’t have so much of in my time: Special Interests. Sure, there were always groups that tried to influence elections. But after the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United a couple of years ago, we've never seen the kind of unlimited flow of dark money that's flooding our politics today. Special interest groups have already pledged nearly $6 million against Jason. And now that the polls are dead even, more and more money will pour in. Jason needs to raise $150,000 this month to keep fighting for everything you care about. And he needs you--which is why I'm asking for your help. Can you make a contribution? Even...

Friends, When it comes to taking a position on any bill, Floridians know my promise: I will listen to them, I will listen to my conscience, and I will deeply study what’s on my desk before making a decision. The past few weeks, the proposal on my desk has been the nuclear deal with Iran. I have to say, this has been the toughest decision of my career in Congress. After listening to arguments on both sides, carefully reviewing all the materials, and soliciting answers from both supporters and opponents, I have reached a decision. A nuclear Iran would be an unacceptable threat to America and Israel. As a nation, we must always keep all options on the table. But before we place our Armed Forces in harm’s way, I feel I owe it to all Floridians -- especially our servicemembers -- to exhaust all other courses of action. The deal we have is flawed. But it is also the best available option to stop the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran. Make no mistake -- Iran will remain a foe of Am...

We are going to get through the coronavirus outbreak together. If you are experiencing symptoms or are looking for more information, you can visit the website of the CDC or the Illinois Department of Health . We are closely monitoring the situation and its effects on the people of Illinois and our nation as we work together to keep our families and communities safe. Robert, You don’t need us to tell you how challenging this year has been. But throughout Trump’s brazen, unhinged attempt to steal the election, a global pandemic, and one of the worst economic disasters for American workers in a century, we’ve continued to work together towards a more progressive future. Your continued support — even during a global pandemic — is what keeps our grassroots team in the field and hard at work electing progressive leaders to represent our community in Springfield, in Cook County, and in Washington D.C. There’s still time to chip in $5 or what you can to mee...
