Renee Ellmers video …in her own words


I ask you are the words of ms Ellmers hateful, racist, provoke fear and possible violence …do we accept this kind of rhetoric from people who call themselves Americans or do we keep them out of any position of power especially political power; is this fear mongering by Republicans or what? This is not the kind of people i want in charge when my child grows up or grand children… Discrimination  should be an issue we are all working on to make a nasty thing of the past.

After the Muslims conquered Jerusalem and Cordoba and Constantinople.
They built victory mosques and, now, they want to build a mosque by Ground Zero. Where does Bob Etheridge stand? He won’t say. Won’t speak out. Won’t take a stand. The terrorists haven’t won and we should tell them in plain English, No. There will never be a mosque at Ground Zero.

Al Franken speaks …listen


Progressive Change Campaign Committee

Sen. Al Franken just sent us a video and asked us to pass it on to you. He wanted to thank PCCC members for (successfully!) creating momentum around Elizabeth Warren’s candidacy to lead the creation of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Sen. Franken also invites folks to tell Elizabeth Warren what consumer issues her bureau should focus on first. Check out the video and give Warren your feedback here!

Al Franken thanks PCCC

We’ll deliver your priorities for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when we bring Elizabeth Warren all of your wonderful congratulations!

a message from Nancy Pelsosi FW: Barack Obama’s Urgent Message


On Wednesday, President Obama issued an urgent call to action for Democratic supporters nationwide: $1 million in grassroots dollars before Thursday’s final and most important quarterly reporting deadline. The amount of money we have in the bank as of midnight on the 30th will be used to judge our chances of winning tight races and retaining our Majority. This is also one of the last times to effectively expand advertising time in districts.

There has never been a more critical time to give. If we don’t want to see what we have worked so hard for come undone, we must stand united. Time is running out and I need your support now more than ever. Please contribute $5, $10 or more today and our matching program will be an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.

Thank you as always for standing with us.

Friend —

In the coming weeks, Americans will make a critical choice. Do we continue moving our country forward? Or do we bring back the very same ideas that devastated the middle class and resulted in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

There is no doubt that Democrats can retain our Majority in the House of Representatives in the same way that we won in 2008 — by going block by block, house by house, voter by voter.

September 30th marks the final FEC quarterly fundraising deadline of this election, making this the most important deadline we have ever faced. Your support by Midnight on September 30th will decide how strong our voter contact team is, how far they can extend their reach, and how many Democratic voters they can get to the polls.

Contribute before the crucial Midnight September 30th FEC deadline to fund our get-out-the-vote effort and ensure that I keep my great Democratic Partners in the House. Your gift today will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

Keep the House Blue

The challenges we face as a nation are too great to go back to the same old Republican ideas that got us into this mess in the first place. We simply cannot give the keys to the car back to the very same folks whose ideas led to the worst economy since the 1930s.

Since taking office, I have been fortunate to have extraordinary partners in the House like Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues who have fought to move our country in a New Direction. They have put our recovery on track, fought Republican attempts to privatize Social Security, and heroically taken on the powerful special interests. Now they need your help.

Contribute before the crucial Midnight September 30th FEC deadline to fund our get-out-the-vote effort and ensure that I keep my great Democratic Partners in the House. Your gift today will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

When my own campaign for this office began, we weren’t given much of a chance by the pollsters or the pundits. You proved them wrong through your belief that 2008 had to be different. Now I need you to do it again for my great Democratic allies in the House.

We simply cannot afford to spend the next two years wishing we had done more in this final push to keep the House in Democratic hands.

This is our moment to retain a Democratic House so we can continue working to create millions of jobs, strengthen our middle class, and make this economy work for every American.

Thank you.

Barack Obama

P.S. Every dollar you give will help decide how strong our voter contact team is, how far they can extend their reach, and how many Democratic voters they can get to the polls. Contribute today and your gift will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

Can Saving bees save the World?

Can curiosity save the world?

David Inouye Curious for Life Ad

Ecologist David Inouye and the Union of Concerned Scientists believe that curiosity can save the world—but we can’t do it without your help. Please support our work to spread the truth—and spread the curiosity—by becoming a member of UCS today.

When a caterpillar grows up, it becomes a beautiful butterfly. When curious kid David Inouye grew up, he became an ecologist. It’s the kind of metamorphosis our world could use more of.

Now, David channels all of his curiosity into the study of bees, butterflies, and wildflowers in the Rocky Mountains. For the past 40 years, David has returned to the same piece of land, tracking its changes. And over time, David has found substantial and disturbing evidence that the world is warming like never before. That kind of curiosity deserves our support.

Yet, it seems like no one’s listening. Corporations that deny global warming for the sake of their own financial interests are taking over the airways, and convincing the public that nothing is wrong. They are killing the curiosity, and thus, squelching the truth.

We need your help to make David’s voice heard. Can you make a donation now to help us spread the truth about global warming?

It’s hard to believe that, with all of the progress science has made possible, people still doubt its truthfulness. But they do. According to a recent study, the wildflower meadows David loves so much will likely be entirely displaced by sagebrush in just 50 years if current rates of warming continue unchecked.

Please support the Union of Concerned Scientists in our efforts to bring sound science to the public and spread the curiosity and the truth about global warming. Your donation allows us to be an independent voice for policy change and to continue developing science-based solutions to crucial environmental, health, and security issues.

Together we can help save the bees and wildflowers and protect all of this planet’s wondrous curiosities.

Sincerely,

Sharing is Health Caring

LIKE your family and friends? Help spread the word about how the new health care improvements works for women.

Sign the Pledge

Do you hate pap smears, but LIKE the idea that they are now free?

Join the club.

Today is the six-month anniversary of the new health care law and the day when a number of important consumer protections go into effect. Insurance companies can no longer drop you when you become sick or deny health coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. Also, when you enroll in a new health plan, you no longer have co-pays for preventative health care services. And the law provides even more relief to women, like making it illegal to charge them more than men for insurance. These are some of the improvements that women and their families can enjoy because of the new health care law.

In honor of these new provisions coming into effect, the National Women’s Law Center is launching a campaign to help spread the word about how the new health care law works for women. Digital public education ads will appear on websites such as Huffington Post, Facebook and Politico, and based on Facebook’s “LIKE” function, the campaign allows you to “LIKE” the improvements the health care law makes in your life and the lives of those you love.

Join the campaign! Take the Sharing is Health Caring pledge to get informed about the new health care improvements, share the campaign with your friends and family, and make sure that you know where your candidates stand when you vote in the November 2nd election.

You’ve fought hard with us to pass this law and today we can celebrate — perhaps with a free mammogram or pap smear? Or how about just LIKING that it’s free and taking our pledge today?

You can also find out exactly what goes into effect today by checking out our new fact sheet.
