Messing with the wrong people

Bob Woodward’s new book, “Obama’s War,” comes out tomorrow, and leaked excerpts show just how hard some military leaders are fighting to stop a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Late last year, as President Obama struggled to pin the military down into an airtight exit strategy, General Petraeus said:

“[The administration] is ****ing with the wrong guy.”

It’s clear Petraeus and his subordinates want to ignore the July 2011 deadline to start withdrawing troops. A colonel briefing reporters at the Pentagon this week even told them that, “No one said that we were withdrawing in July 2011.”

Military officials need to understand that it’s not up to them when we leave Afghanistan. Ultimately, that’s up to us, the American people, and we’re sick and tired of this war that’s not making us safer and that’s not worth the cost. General Petraeus is the one messing with the wrong people–the 57 percent of Americans who oppose the war.

The publicity around Woodward’s book gives us a new opportunity to get people’s attention about how the military is undermining the Commander-in-Chief and working to extend the war. Our new video exposes their effort, but we need your help to get it in front of people.

Send our latest video to as many people as you can, and share it on your Facebook wall. With your help, we can keep the warmongers on the defensive and end this war.

Sincerely,

Tell Secretary Sebelius that Vulnerable Women Deserve Abortion Coverage


National Women's Law Center

Stand Up Against Blanket Abortion Coverage Prohibition Take Action

Tell Secretary Sebelius not to undermine women’s reproductive health in the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans.

Take Action

Remember how angry women got when we were told we couldn’t use our own private dollars to obtain coverage of abortion care? Well it’s back. The Administration decided — without justification in law or policy — to ban abortion coverage in the newly created Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans.

It is still bad policy and your voice is needed.

Tell Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius how this harmful restriction undermines women’s access to reproductive health care now. Submit your comments today.

If adopted, this ban would prevent women with serious pre-existing medical conditions — like cancer or diabetes — from getting the abortion coverage they need to protect their health. And it will not even allow women the ability to pay for such coverage with their own private premium dollars.

Comments are due this Tuesday, September 28, so take action and tell Secretary Sebelius to stand up for the health of these vulnerable women and to reject this dangerous policy once and for all.

The National Women’s Law Center will not rest until the restrictions on abortion coverage are fixed. Thank you for continuing to fight with us to protect women’s health.

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
