A message from House Speaker …Nancy Pelosi -Donate
 |
Sunday midnight deadline, the world will know how ready we are for the final 100 days of this campaign season.
Moments ago, my DCCC strategists briefed me on the progress toward our grassroots goal for tomorrow’s 100 Days Deadline. We are now just $88,075 away.
I need your help to put us over the top before Midnight Tomorrow so we can send an overwhelming message of grassroots Democratic strength to the media and the world. Republicans have been making false claims to whomever will listen that they have the momentum, but you and I know that is not true.
I need you to take action today to show them the truth.
The Republicans are claiming that they have the momentum and have already promised to bring back the exact same failed economic agenda of George W. Bush.
I remain more confident than ever that Democrats will keep control of the House, so long as we stand together, work together, and fight together in these final 100 Days.
This is our moment to prove our strength to the world.
Onward to victory!
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
P.S. We are now just $88,075 away from surpassing our goal for tomorrow night’s critical 100 Days Deadline. Contribute to our 100 Day Deadline before Midnight Tomorrow and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

Just plain wrong …Republicans continue to block efforts to move into the 21st Century
|
I just want to yell at somebody. We’re in the middle of the one of the worst environmental crises in the history of our country. And a minority of Senators in the pocket of fossil fuel interests are blocking any action in the immediate future on a bill that limits carbon pollution and helps solve the climate crisis. Instead, it looks likely that the Senate will vote on a narrow oil spill response bill that only includes minor energy provisions — and completely fails to address the underlying causes of the climate crisis and fossil fuel catastrophes like the oil spill. Make sure your Senators know that band-aid measures are unacceptable — and that you’re disappointed and not going away. Join Repower America and pledge to call your Senators this Tuesday when they’re back in Washington. Tell them that you and millions of Repower America supporters won’t give up until our country takes leadership on climate change and clean energy. Click here to pledge that you’ll call the Senate on Tuesday, July 27. Once you sign up, we’ll email you on Tuesday and give you everything you need to make the call. This disappointing announcement from the Senate follows what could only be described as a shock and awe campaign by corporate polluters. The oil and gas industry spent $213 million lobbying in this Congress alone.* Apparently, that’s what it costs to block action on this crucial issue. But stopping debate doesn’t just benefit big oil and dirty coal. It also robs Americans of the opportunity to reap the benefits of clean energy, including:
We need to change this storyline. This is not the future I want to leave my kids and future generations. Like every parent, I want to provide them a world with better opportunities — and a healthy, prosperous planet is non-negotiable. Remind our leaders of our priorities, our values and our resolve. Join me today in pledging to call your Senators. Sign up and make the pledge here. Then stay tuned for our Tuesday email with calling instructions.

Stop Auto Dealers from Blocking Fuel Efficient Cars | ||
|
The Obama administration recently announced a strong final rule for national fuel economy standards, a decision that could finally get clean car technology off the shelf and on our roads.
Many automakers supported these common-sense regulations, which mark the first time in U.S. history the federal government has regulated global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act.
Unfortunately, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) is still trying to keep cleaner cars off our roads. Their lawyers are actively supporting attempts to block the government’s ability to regulate global warming emissions.
It’s time to tell NADA that consumers aren’t buying their lemon of a lawsuit. Send a message to NADA to say that American drivers want cleaner cars, not more lobbyists and lawsuits.
Tell NADA to drop its fight against clean cars now >
The U.S. transportation sector is responsible for emitting more carbon emissions (the primary global-warming gas) than all but three other countries. emissions from all sources combined.
Not only will fuel economy standards cut global warming pollution, but they will also reduce America’s oil consumption and save consumers billions of dollars at the gas pump.
Take action to support stronger fuel economy standards now >
