 If you could only afford a small gift: THANK YOU!

 If you could afford a large gift, but only gave a small one: THANK YOU ANYWAY!

 If you forgot to give but really meant to and totally would have except you got distracted at the last minute and now you feel awful: THANK YOU, I GUESS — AND PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GIVE NOW AND ALLEVIATE YOUR GUILT!http://www.alfranken.com/page/m/6cf7873/715407ea/31809885/7816454a/2228609982/VEsH/

Tune in to ABC’s 20/20 with Diane Sawyer tonight …Helene D. Gayle, CARE


CARECARE recently joined with ABC News and the United Nations Foundation in the Million Moms Challenge. This unique initiative engages millions of Americans with moms in poor countries around the world to connect — and act — on important issues, such as pregnancy, childbirth and children’s health.
Tonight, please tune in to ABC at 10:00 p.m. ET for a special edition of 20/20, “Making Life: A Risky Proposition.” Diane Sawyer will host an eye-opening report that sheds light on the challenges mothers face in developing countries. ABC talked to some of the women and girls CARE works with in Afghanistan, where we employ low-cost, low-tech solutions that can help save millions of lives.
We encourage you to share this e-mail with your friends on Facebook and Twitter or forward it to your friends. The more people we engage on this issue, the stronger our impact will be in helping mothers and their babies survive — and thrive.
Sincerely,
Helene D. Gayle, MD, MPH President and CEO, CARE

Support AL Franken for Senate !

1 Comment

Al Franken - U.S. Senator, MinnesotaIt happens every year. You’re at the office holiday party. You’re stuck talking to that guy who works in Accounts Payable. What’s his name again? Dave? Dan? Boy, that’s an ugly sweater he’s wearing.

And, of course, in an effort not to mention the sweater, you start talking about the latest awesome email from our campaign about our fight for working families. But Dave (Doug?) looks at you blankly. He must not be on our email list. How awkward.

But there’s a way to avoid the awkwardness: Invite everyone in your network to join our campaign.

And it’s easy to do. Just click here to Tweet or post on Facebook.

Invite your friends and followers at work and in your community to join us. And when you run into Don (no, wait, it’s Dave), you’ll have something to talk about: fighting for the middle class.

Anything to avoid talking about that sweater.

Click here to Tweet.

Click here to post on Facebook.

Thanks,

Al

P.S.: Additional holiday party conversation topic: Did you know that including an extra “ask” in the P.S. of an email greatly increases the number of people who will click through? It’s true. For example: Won’t you share our campaign for working famliies with your networks on Twitter and Facebook?

P.P.S.: It also works for fundraising: Won’t you contribute $5, $10, or even $20 to help us reach out to more supporters by clicking HERE?

Millionair​es Made A Video, A Message To Jonah, And A Very Big Number


Hello! Here are the three hottest progressive videos and graphics that we found on the web today, December 08, 2011.

Some Millionaires Made A Video And This Is What They Said

by on Jun 6, 2011

Ten year ago, Republicans made a mistake. They gave tax cuts to millionaires. They decided our country needed less money and millionaires needed more.

Now our country doesn’t have the money we need to build an economy that will work for all of us.

We need better roads to transport our products; faster internet for our technology companies; and more research at universities to spark our innovation.

Taking money from our future and giving it to millionaires is un-American.

Put America ahead of politics: END TAX CUTS FOR INCOMES OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.

ACT: Sign the petition supporting the Patriotic Millionaires as they demand higher taxes then call Boehner‘s office at (202) 225-6205 (PatrioticMillionaires.org)
