Black Independent Party (ARK) Archives

Dear Robert,   I owe our 35-point win in Kentucky yesterday to your incredible support. So let me ask you -- do you think we should let the TV talking heads have the final say in this race? Or should we do what we have always done, and fight together for what you and I believe in? I have never for one moment forgotten what this race is about -- the millions of people who are looking to you and me for the leadership America needs. It's about getting our economy moving again. It's about bringing the war in Iraq to a responsible end. It's about fulfilling America's energy needs while protecting the planet for our children and grandchildren. It's about making sure that every man, woman, and child in America has health care. Now we have just three races left, and your help is absolutely critical in these final two weeks. So let's do it. Let's keep fighting and winning together, as we have all along. Contribute today and let's keep driving towar...

Dear Robert,   Tonight's victory in Indiana was close, and a margin that narrow means just one thing: every single thing you did to help us win in Indiana helped make the difference.  Every call you made, every friend you spoke to about our campaign, every dollar you contributed made tonight's victory possible. And I couldn't be more thankful for your hard work.  Every time we've celebrated a victory, we've celebrated it together. And tonight is no exception. This victory is your victory, this campaign is your campaign, and your support has been the difference between winning and losing.  Thank you so much for making this campaign possible. Let's keep making history together.  Sincerely,  Hillary Rodham Clinton 

Dear Robert,   Thanks to you, we won a critically important victory tonight in Pennsylvania. It's a giant step forward that will transform the landscape of the presidential race. And it couldn't have happened without you.  There will be much more to do beginning tomorrow. But tonight, let's just celebrate the fact that you and I are part of a remarkable community of people tough enough, passionate enough, and determined enough to win big when everything is on the line.  Thanks so much for all you do.  Sincerely,  Hillary Rodham Clinton 

Dear Robert,   Over the course of this campaign, I have seen the promise of America in your courage and character, your energy and ingenuity, and your compassion and faith.  Your spirit has inspired me every day in this race. While I traveled this country talking about how I wanted to help you -- time and again, you reached out to help me. To grab my hand or grip my arm, to look me in my eyes and tell me, don't quit, keep fighting, stay in this race for us. There were days when I had strength enough for the both of us -- and on the days I didn't, I leaned on you.  This has always been your campaign, and tonight, there's no one I want to hear from more than you. I hope you're as proud as I am of what we've done and that you'll take a moment to share your thoughts with me now at my website.  I want to congratulate Senator Obama and his supporters on the extraordinary race that they have run. Senator Obama has inspired so many Americans to care about politi...

Dear Robert,   Another big win! Today in Puerto Rico, the voters spoke with a powerful voice to say that this race is not over yet. And thanks to your support, we're celebrating another great victory.  When all the votes in Puerto Rico are counted, our popular vote lead will be even bigger. More than 17 million people have cast their ballots for our campaign, more votes than any candidate has received in the history of the Democratic Party. Now there can be no doubt: the people have spoken and you have chosen your candidate. We are winning the popular vote.  Every time the pundits count us out -- every time they declare the race over -- you, the voters, send a clear message that you have another idea. And you and I just keep winning races together.  Now there are just two contests left, the final primaries in South Dakota and Montana. I know I can rely on your support for these last two races, just as I have throughout the campaign.  Thank you so much fo...

Dear robert,   Have you noticed the pattern?  Every time our campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest we should end our pursuit of the Democratic nomination.  Those anxious to force us to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think we're going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls we are, and they know we are in a position to win.  In three days, we're facing a critical March filing deadline -- another chance to show the strength of our campaign. Let's take these three days to make something absolutely clear: we aren't going to simply step aside. You and I are going to keep fighting for what we believe in, and together, we're going to win.  Contribute today to help us raise $3 million by the March filing deadline at midnight Monday.  Every time we are challenged to prove the strength and durability of our appeal to voters, we meet our goals. We did it in New Hampshire, we d...

National Black Independent Party- Hi! My name is Caroline Pla, I'm 11 years old, and I really love football. When I was 3, I watched my big brother play  Pop Warner football , and I told his coach I would play someday, too. I kept my word. I started playing when I was 5, and now I play in a Catholic Youth league --  but the Philadelphia Archdiocese, which runs my league, is suddenly saying that girls aren't allowed. The idea that girls can't play football is stupid. I've been playing for seven years, and I've never been injured. The guys don't go easy on me, either -- I've worked hard to show them that I'm just as good as they are, and I deserve to be treated the same as them. I thought it was really unfair that they won't let me play next year, so my mom started a petition on Change.org asking the Philadelphia Archdiocese to let girls play football. Will you click here and sign it? When I first heard that girls aren't allowed anymore,...

Robert -- I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first. I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen. You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward. I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started. But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place. Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests. There's a lot more work to do. But for right now: Thank you. Barack

Robert -- The polls are closing in a few hours. If you've got any nervous energy, there's plenty you can do right now to have an impact on the results tonight: 1) First, make sure you vote, if you haven't yet. You can find your polling place here: http://my.democrats.org/lookup 2) Then, forward this message to everyone you know to make sure they vote, too. And remind your friends in battleground states on Facebook to go vote: http://my.democrats.org/Share-Vote 3) Finally, jump on our call tool to reach voters in key states to make sure that they know where they can go vote -- and that they do it: http://my.democrats.org/Start-Calling-Now All of our hard work comes down to what happens right now. Let's not leave anything to chance. Thank you, Michelle ----- Already voted? Let us know.

Robert -- There have been many times in my life when I've been counted out -- told that I couldn't do it, told not to speak out for what I believe in, told to not even run in the first place. I've only gotten this far because I've had people like you with me every step of the way. Right now the other side is trying to obliterate the hard work we've put in on the ground in this campaign by flooding the airwaves with factually inaccurate, negative attack ads. If they win, they're going to dismantle everything we've accomplished together over the past three and a half years, and turn back the clock to the same failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place. We cannot let that happen. Please donate $5 or more today: https://my.democrats.org/Stand-With-Me Thanks. It means a lot to know you've got my back. Barack

Robert -- Anyone who watched last night's debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney saw just how stark a choice the American people face in this election -- and that President Obama is the right choice to keep moving this country forward. On one hand, you have Mitt Romney, who offered absolutely no specifics for how he'll achieve any of the promises he made during the debate. His arguments are based on myths and bad math. And on our side, you have President Obama, who has not only shown that he knows how to get our economy back on track, but has offered real and concrete steps to continue to build the middle class, create jobs, and foster the growth of small business. This is the kind of leadership our country needs -- and it's up to us to make sure he wins on Election Day and has a Congress he can work with. Donate $5 or more today to make sure President Obama and Democrats across the country have the resources they need to win. I don't know about you, but I sure...

robert, This is huge. One of the country's top election analysts just released updated Senate race ratings and Tammy Baldwin, Claire McCaskill , Shelley Berkley, and Mazie Hirono all got upgrades. But we know what happens next. Right-wing SuperPACs are flooding the airwaves with their millions , trying to erase every inch we've gained. If we don't keep the pressure on right now, then we can forget about upgrades and forget about holding the Senate. Let's keep the momentum going -- rush a contribution to EMILY's List right now. With just 33 days left until Election Day, our amazing candidates are counting on you. We're moving things in the right direction -- but at the end of the day, ratings aren't wins. And elections are never easy. Every race -- from the Presidential to these critical Senate races -- is going to be extremely close. But we all have to fight harder every day and keep doing everything we can for these candidates. Please give today. Thanks ...

Robert -- My friends Barack and Michelle Obama will have been married 20 years exactly this Wednesday . That's also the day that Barack will face off with Mitt Romney for the very first presidential debate of this election. I suppose you can't plan everything -- even when you're president of the United States. But there's something we can all do to help send them off into the last month of this election feeling good: Add your name and well-wishes to a 20th anniversary card for Barack and Michelle. This race will be close until the very end, and Wednesday will be an important day for the campaign. But let's take a moment to show Barack and Michelle that we wish them well in life, not just in politics. Add your name to the card today: http://my.democrats.org/Anniversary-Card Then, let's dig in and get ready for the next 35 days. David ----- More than 3 million people like you power this campaign. If you can, please donate today.

Robert -- I hope I made you proud out there explaining the vision we share for this country. Now we need to go win this election -- the most important thing that will happen tonight is what you do (or don't do) to help in the little time we have left: https://my.democrats.org/Tonight Thank you, Barack

Robert -- In just a little while, I'll go on stage to meet Mitt Romney in the first presidential debate here in Denver. I couldn't be prouder to represent you out there. Robert, it's because of you that affordable health care is within reach for millions more Americans. It's because of you that we've seen 30 straight months of job growth and middle-class families have seen their taxes cut. Together, we've done a lot -- but there is so much more to do to keep this country moving forward. That only happens if we win this election. Before tonight's debate, will you chip in $5 or more to help finish this campaign strong? https://my.democrats.org/Stand-With-Me Can't wait to see what you do tonight. Barack

Robert -- There are some very big decisions for Democrats coming up in the next few weeks. How many last-minute organizers can we put on the ground in the battleground states? How many calls can we make to get folks to the polls for President Obama and Democrats? Those decisions are being made in the next week or two, not next month. And the answers hinge on you, Robert. This month's FEC deadline is at midnight. Can you chip in right now? I know we send you a lot of emails, but this is important. When the clock strikes midnight tonight, this critical fundraising deadline will be over -- and this game will be set. If you can, please chip in $5 or more to help President Obama and Democrats right now: https://my.democrats.org/Deadline-Tonight On behalf of every Democrat out there fighting this year, thank you. Just a few weeks to go. Debbie Debbie Wasserman Schultz Chair Democratic National Committee P.S. -- The election is only 37 days away -- your donation means more now than ev...

Robert -- We're facing our most critical fundraising deadline yet tomorrow at midnight -- the money we raise now will be used to get us through the final month of the election, and across the finish line on November 6th . As a former chair of the DNC, I know how important this final month is. People are already voting in Iowa, and other states will start voting in a matter of days. This is where the rubber meets the road. Whether we win or lose on Election Day will be determined by whether Democrats have the resources we need to go after every single vote. There is one surefire way you can help -- by chipping in $5 or more today: https://my.democrats.org/Fall-Deadline I know that, together, we can win this thing. Gov. Howard Dean

Robert -- They want to cut taxes for high-income Americans while the middle class shoulders the burden. They want to let Wall Street write its own rules again, and remove the financial regulations President Obama has put in place to prevent another crash. They want to cut the budget in a radical way, decimating programs that help the middle class, poor children, seniors, and those in science and technology that will create the good jobs of the future. They want to turn Medicare into a risky voucher program that could actually raise costs for seniors by as much as $6,400 per year. This week, both campaigns -- Mitt Romney's and President Obama's -- face the biggest fundraising deadline yet. If we want President Obama in that White House for another four years, we can't take anything for granted, especially critical moments like this. Donate $5 or more today, and let's bring this home for President Obama and Democrats across the country: https://my.democrats.org/Fall-Dea...

Robert -- Your response right now determines how strong our campaign will be in these final 38 days. It determines how many organizers we can hire to get out the vote, how many ads we can run with our message, and how many field offices we can open. Thirty-eight days to go -- this is our one shot. Donate $3 or more today and let's head into October with the momentum. It bears repeating: This deadline requires all of us doing our part because we're choosing to run a people-powered campaign, and that's the only way this works. It's also what sets us apart. Donate $3 or more today before the critical FEC fundraising deadline: https://donate.barackobama.com/September-Deadline Forward. Barack
