You need to know this: Republican governors and state legislatures are working to pass laws to suppress voter turnout in 2012. Texas, Wisconsin and Florida have already passed legislation including restricting early voting. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maine might be next.
Republicans can’t win on the merits – look how unpopular their plan to kill Medicare is. But they might very well capture the Senate if they keep Democrats from voting. I need your help to fight back now. We need 100,000 people to stand with us and draw attention to the undemocratic actions of these Republican state legislators and governors. Will you add your name?
After you’ve signed, be sure to forward this email to friends. All Democrats need to join together and draw attention to these disgusting Republican tactics. We won’t stand quietly by while they try every trick in the book to steal an election. It’s undemocratic, and it must end.
Im writing to you from Manchester, New Hampshire, where last night I witnessed a spectacle that every single Obama supporter needs to hear about.
The major GOP presidential candidates debated for the first time and made one thing very clear: They have no agenda but to take down President Obama.
They even nodded along when one called the Obama administration a “destructive force,” and they said nothing when another said the President has “embraced our enemies.”
Last night was a wake-up call to anyone who thinks they can sit tight while the Republicans battle each other for the nomination: The campaign to defeat Barack Obama and roll back his entire record is well underway. And that’s the one thing on which all of their potential candidates agree.
It was seven against one. Since the President won’t be speaking for himself at one of these debates until next year, our best response is to show the Republicans that when they attack Barack Obama, it only makes us fight back harder.
They actually spent time debating whether they think Sarah Palin would have made a better vice president than Joe Biden (spoiler alert: They still think so!).
But the words “education” and “middle class” were never uttered even once.
If you were watching at home, you might have thought it was a re-run from four or eight years ago.
Most of these people are full-time candidates with nothing to lose and nothing to do but keep pushing to take us back to the failed policies of the past. Help fight back with a donation today:
If you thought the fight to end Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was finally over, think again.
We all thought it was a done deal when President Obama signed the repeal into law. But House Republicans pulled a stunt that could delay or even stop the repeal from taking effect by passing an outrageous series of amendments to the bill that funds our military.
We can’t stay silent in the face of this new GOP push to turn back the clock on repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t tell.
Help the DCCC surpass their goal of getting 100,000 signatures to their petition supporting the repeal. We need to hold the House Republicans accountable for putting their radical social agenda ahead of keeping our military strong and our families safe.
When I served in Congress, it was an honor to sponsor and fight for legislation to finally end this discriminatory policy. As an Army officer, I saw firsthand how the policy forces patriots to lie about who they are just so they can defend the freedoms that make America great.
We could not have passed legislation to repeal this policy without your grassroots support. Now, we must keep the pressure on, by exposing the despicable tactics that the Republicans are using to stop the repeal from taking effect.
You’ve been hearing from Messina about our overall strategy and what’s at stake in this election. My job as the Battleground States Director is to report back to you on the nuts and bolts of what we’re building in communities across the country.
I want to take you through it in detail, so you can understand how to get involved and shape our organization where you live.
We’re going to build it from the ground up. And we’re going to use this summer to roll out our team model and organizing structure through grassrootsplanning sessions in homes and by videoconference.
Here’s the full briefing — watch it here, and if you’re willing to get involved now and be part of the organization in your community, let me know:
Some of these planning sessions are already under way, and we’re starting to get some feedback. I got one email from a supporter named Steven, who hadn’t been involved at all since 2008, and only went to his grassroots planning session on a whim.
As a result, he’s all-in — he wants want to get involved fast, and also has all sorts of new ideas for how he can apply his skills better this time and which friends and colleagues he can reach out to about joining the campaign.
The subject line of his email about the meeting was “Inspiring night.”
This kind of organization-building isn’t just an electoral strategy — it’s a reflection of what we believe in as voters and citizens. It’s a commitment to the kind of politics that begins in backyards and living rooms and empowers every single American to get involved and organize for the changes they want to see.
At a moment when it feels like the only thing that separates our opponents is how quickly they want to end Medicare as we know it, winning this way — driven locally, powered by the grassroots — will be a rebuke to those in Washington who still think that people across the country don’t have a seat at the table where decisions are made.
I’m asking you to pull up a chair. If you’re willing to get involved now, at this crucial point in the campaign, let me know here:
P.S. — If you don’t have time to watch the video, here’s a quick rundown on where we stand:
— Messina mentioned the one-on-one initiative last month. We’re going to talk with every person who volunteered or made a donation last time. So the staff and I started making calls and meeting with people one-on-one. And then those people started having their own one-on-ones with others. So far more than 75,000 individual conversations have happened across the country. The results are a massive army of newly energized volunteers, plus thousands of pages of ideas and feedback that will inform how we shape our organization nationally.
— Grassroots planning sessions are under way across the country — we’ve had dozens so far with more than a hundred still to come. Everyone has been or will be invited to one.
— You heard about our Summer Organizer Program when we asked you to help recruit them. Well, there are now hundreds across the country, and they start next week. We were pleasantly surprised that the number of applicants far exceeded what we saw when we launched this program in 2008, and you’ll be hearing more about them — and in many cases from them directly — in the coming months
It is now a fight against, in my opinion a change in how Americans live by enforcing Republican tea Party ideology or that “Family Values Platform”. If you believe in equality for all Americans, you must support those members of Congress who not only fight back but also realized early that the Republican agenda is to eliminate not only Government Jobs but also Government Services of all kinds. Republicans stated repeatedly their interest in JOBs, JOBs, JOBs and the Economy but the agenda and the mission of all Republican Governors is much more sinister. It has become more clear what side of the Political aisle is doing their job for Americans not those that back that top 2% they feel are job creators. The notion is great on the surface and yes there has been an increase in private sector jobs but we are still suffering and Speaker Boehner has yet to offer up any JOBs Bills at all. However, it is not lost on me that good legislation that could have moved us into the black sooner has been filibustered for the last 2.5 years. The Republican Tea Parties engagement in deception and lies will continue if we let them and all things being equal or in our case completely unequal, it will also include a big splash of Political double standards.
We must all speak up and out to save what Republicans call entitlements from privatization and or elimination, which btw affects Republican constituents as well, Fox faux viewers. While it is true that Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security may need to be updated in order to get rid of waste and fraud. These are Government run services that actually help Americans, which is what we as Americans supposedly support on a whole and are all about but given the opportunity, the Republican Tea Party will flip it and put that trickledown theory in full effect and we will all wonder what happened to our America, as we all once knew it.
Tim Pawlenty Rips Obama Administration, Congress for Creating a ‘Ponzi Scheme‘ Budget Is this guy for real ? I want to know if his party will pay back the money that the house of Bush spent waging 2Wars and 2huge tax cuts for the top 2% -unpaid for …clearly Profits before People
