Campaign 2012

12/02/2011 Nativegrl77 1 Comment

Who will win the GOP nomination?

It doesn’t matter.

There has NEVER been a more extreme field of candidates.

Renew your 2012 membership now to help us reach our $250,000 goal and stop extremism from defeating the American Way.

As a member of People For the American Way, you know as well as I do all that’s at stake with the upcoming elections, and that 2012 will be an absolutely critical year for our country.

Our nation has already begun what I believe will be one of the most pivotal presidential elections in American history.

That is why I’m asking you, Carmen, to help People For the American Way be prepared now and have the biggest impact possible in this critical presidential election year.

So please renew your 2012 membership early with a contribution of $49.00, $65.00, $115.00 or more today to help us reach our $250,000 year-end goal.

Our nation is facing a potential sweeping right-wing takeover. This is no exaggeration. With dishonest extremists like Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Herman Cain vying for the GOP nomination, and the possibility of a Radical Right-controlled Congress, Supreme Court, and White House, you and I should be very concerned.

So much of what you and I care for is at stake, but you can help us prevent a right-wing victory next year by renewing your membership for 2012 now.

The threats to the issues you and I hold dear are not idle speculation. If you’ve watched any of the GOP presidential debates, you know that these extremists are quite open about their plans for radically changing America.

They want to roll back civil rights, women’s reproductive rights, and recent hard-won progress toward equal rights for gays and lesbians… they block every effort to help the economy and the middle class to protect tax breaks for corporations and the richest 1%… and they seek to undo both separation of church and state AND the separation of corporation and state.

Say “no” to their plans by immediately renewing your membership for 2012 early with a generous donation to our year-end campaign. YOU can help us reach our $250,000 goal and support PFAW’s efforts to beat the right wing in the 2012 elections.

Your membership contribution will finance our opposition campaign in the coming elections as well as our ongoing efforts to battle right-wing legislation on Capitol Hill, and our many other campaigns to fight the increasingly extremist Far Right movement.

Thank you in advance for your continued support, I’m confident you’ll help us close out 2011 strong and be ready for the battles that 2012 brings.

Sincerely,
Michael Keegan

P.S. The Tea Partiers and right-wing extremists have committed themselves to an unyieldingly rigid conservative orthodoxy … tax cuts for the wealthy without compromise, deregulation without common sense, and social conservatism without an ounce of compassion or respect. We cannot let them win. Renew today.

a message from Senator Maria Cantwell

12/02/2011 Nativegrl77

Some Wall Street banks think they can get away with anything.

Wrecking the economy with reckless gambling? Abusing the foreclosure process to put more homeowners out on the street? Raising fees on consumers whenever they want? To them, it’s all part of the game.

That’s why we have to be ready for anything in this campaign. Maria has fought her entire career to hold Wall Street accountable, and powerful special interests are determined to defeat her. They’ll say anything. They’ll spend whatever it takes. And it’s up to us to fight back.

Will you help strike a blow against these special interest groups by making a contribution of $5 or more to help Maria fight back today?

For years Maria has been working to hold Wall Street accountable to the people – voting against the Wall Street bailout, cracking down on speculation in oil markets, toughening restrictions on derivatives trading, and fighting to make the financial reform bill stronger and more progressive.

But some of the worst offenders on Wall Street are also some of the most powerful special interests in Washington. And they are determined to get rid of one of the Senate’s champions for accountability and sound regulation.

Maria can’t win this fight alone – we all need to stand together against the big banks and their attacks. Please click here to make a contribution today!

Fueled by huge money from Wall Street special interests, shady right-wing attack groups will do everything they can to defeat Maria. But these special interests can’t beat us if we stand together.

Please click here to contribute now.

Thanks for helping Maria stand up to Wall Street.

– Chris

Washington State don’t let AG Mckenna keep HCR away from the people in Washington State- A reminder to Voters

12/01/2011 Nativegrl77

On March 22nd McKenna announced he will join the HCR lawsuit to protect Washington citizens against new health care mandates, he will probably do this by using tax payers dollars.

Please Call his office to tell him to STOP blocking health care reform

CALL Main Office (360) 753-6200

OLYMPIA — Attorney General Rob McKenna today issued the following statement about joining a multi-state lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the recently-approved federal health care measure, once it is signed into law.

“I believe this new federal health care measure unconstitutionally imposes new requirements on our state and on its citizens. This unprecedented federal mandate, requiring all Washingtonians to purchase health insurance, violates the Commerce Clause and the 10th amendment of the US Constitution.

“I’m concerned that the measure unconstitutionally requires all Washingtonians to purchase health insurance and places an extraordinary burden on our state budget by requiring Washington to expand its Medicaid eligibility standards in violation of our state’s rights guaranteed under the10th amendment.”

TGIF … Call the Whitehouse 202-456-1111 …Tell President Obama to go big bold and bad

08/19/2011 Nativegrl77 1 Comment

just another rant …

In my effort to blow off steam, push back, and voice my opinion…

I hope all of us on the left… democrats, libs and progressives will continue to support President Obama we also need him to know we have his back and hope that our President Obama go big bold and badass. … Bring it to the People

What has our President done for you?

I will remind you President Obama among other things got and injected our economy with a 787billion dollar stimulus package even with all the Teapublican obstacles. The stimulus worked; he also implemented the fair pay act, chips, stopped the 8yr ban on stem cell research/treatment, implemented better fuel regulation for trucks , Sonia Sotomayor, 1^st Latina was nominated and voted into the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan also voted onto the Supreme Court, got rid of osama, offered a historic health-care bill that passed, reforming immigration. Hey, for a more in depth list and analysis of President Obama’s first two years go to http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2010/1104_obama_galston.aspx

The facts are right in front of our faces and yes, the last 2yrs have been better than it feels…

I believe in President Obama and his abilities but there is clearly a wall put up against any changes or moves the President has been trying to make for ALL Americans contrary to what and how the Teapublicans want or will govern. We must never forget Rep.Mcconnell’s statement that his job is to make him a one-term president. Now, we have people in Congress doing and saying things about our First President of Colour and it should serve as a reminder of just how the Teapublicans really feel about him and this attitude and behavior is the dark cloud that Presidential candidate Rick Perry spoke of only the cloud is racism. I don’t know about you but a true friend would not say let alone feel that his friend is less than because of the colour of his skin. It was a sad day to hear the words coming from Sen. Tom Coburn. There is definitely a difference in running for office and governing as Congress, The banks, Wall Street have all shown us they want their piece thus making the road to change a journey of bumps. Our President has said time and time again, he cannot do the work by himself,” We the People,” need to unite in solidarity to push back at Corporate America, because they definitely are not cooperating, we must push our Democratic Legislators, Representatives and our Congress, who are not acting as if we are in the majority. We all know the Administration needs to call for regulation of the banks…Wall Street and AIG types who seem corrupt. We need to demand that the Administration and Congress work and vote for climate change, education and true innovation so America can become a leader once again, the base voted for change we can all believe in, not for what will NOT ruffle some. President Obama needs to know that the base wants bold changes that include Energy and Climate Change, Education, Immigration reform, Bank regulations. Only move forward not what is easy because the fight is on and it is to save the middle class. That Sir takes a lean to the left … a hard left Sir.

We the People need to start speaking out against key nominations held up by Republicans. It is absurd, offensive, reckless and should show voters just how desperate Republicans are to bring President Obama down when both parties should be working together to solve problems instead of playing politics when our American economy and or safety is fragile is beyond me.

Time to forget bipartisanship because it ain’t there anymore
