CNBC censors Warren


ELIZABETH WARREN’S EARLIER EMAIL TO PCCC MEMBERS:

http://youtu.be/Mwj0NK57VBQ

About a year ago, on the campaign trail, I asked PCCC members to join with me in pushing for a new Glass-Steagall bill.

This law stopped investment banks from gambling away people’s life savings for decades — until Wall Street successfully lobbied the regulators to chip away at the rules in the 1980s and Congress to repeal it entirely in 1999.

Over 100,000 people joined the fight. And now, I am proud to introduce the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act — along with Republican John McCain, Independent Angus King, and Democrat Maria Cantwell — as my first big banking bill in the U.S. Senate.

Will you join over 100,000 of us in calling for more Wall Street reform, starting with a new Glass-Steagall Act? Sign here!

We learned during the 2008 financial crisis that Wall Street is not just taking risks with their own money — they are taking risks with the whole economy.

A new Glass-Steagall would separate high-risk investment banks from more traditional banking. It would allow Wall Street to take risks, but not by dipping into the life savings and retirement accounts of regular people.

And by making banks smaller, a new Glass-Steagall could also help put an end to banks that are “too big to fail” — further avoiding costly taxpayer bailouts.

Please help us pass a new Glass-Steagall Act. Join the fight here.

I’ve already talked about this petition on MSNBC, and I’ll keep my Senate colleagues informed of the growing public support for this reform.

By mobilizing people across the nation, we can get this done.

Thank you, Senator Elizabeth Warren

Washington State : Maria Cantwell is fighting for you … Rose Kapolczynski, Friends of Maria


You know that Maria Cantwell is fighting for you.

Today we’re sharing her record with every voter in Washington state, on the airwaves and online, as we launch our first campaign ad.

Maria wanted you to be among the first to see our ad, which focuses on Washington’s aerospace industry and Maria’s fight to keep our economy growing. Click here to watch it right now:

And after you’ve watched the video, please forward this email to five friends so that they can watch it, too!

Washington state is the hub of America‘s aerospace industry. More than 84,000 Washingtonians work in aerospace, and hundreds of thousands of jobs across the state depend on aerospace as well.

That’s why Maria has made it a top priority to see that aerospace isn’t just a tradition in Washington, but a vibrant part of our state’s future, too.

Maria has worked with community colleges to develop job retraining programs and helped Boeing win an Air Force contract that could mean up to 11,000 Washington jobs. And that’s why, from the start, she has made sure the deck isn’t stacked against Washington.

She’s worked with aviation leaders — from Everett to Yakima, from Spokane to Vancouver — to help Washington’s aerospace economy stay competitive and support jobs in communities across our state.

Watch Maria’s new ad, and see what she’s doing to keep Washington jobs in Washington!

While so much time in the “other” Washington is consumed with partisan bickering, Maria is focused on the work at hand: revitalizing our economy and making life better for families in Washington state.

As one of our strongest supporters, you already know Maria’s record of fighting for Washington state. With your help, we’ll be able to tell her positive story of accomplishment all over the state. We couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you,

Rose Kapolczynski  Senior Adviser  Friends of Maria

P.S. After voters watch our new ad, they’ll know why it’s so important to re-elect Maria to the Senate this November. Please help us spread this message throughout Washington by contributing now!

Victory 2012


Last week’s health care reform victory shows what people-powered campaigns can do.

In 2008, you worked hard to elect President Obama. And with your support, the President and his Democratic colleagues passed, and fought the legal assault on, the Affordable Care Act.

The fight isn’t over. Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act if he is elected. We need your help once again to elect President Obama, Maria Cantwell for Senate, Jay Inslee for Governor, and other Democrats who will keep our country moving forward.

Be a part of Victory 2012. Watch our video and learn how to get involved with our campaign.

Campaign offices are opening around the state, and organizers need your help knocking on doors, making calls, registering voters, and getting out the vote.

We know elections are won face-to-face, conversation-to-conversation. That’s the hard work that gets Democrats elected. We’re doing our part, but we can’t win without you.

Republicans are passionate about striking down the rights we have fought so hard to win. We need to match their passion with ours and show them our country and state won’t go backward.

Help keep Washington moving forward. Sign up to volunteer, find office locations, and more:

Dwight Pelz
Washington State Democrats Chair
