HAPPY NEW YEAR. THE HERRING FAMILY.

I'M ASKING YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS...

David --

When Onward Together launched earlier this year, we were supporting five groups that encourage people to organize for progressive change and to run for office: Indivisible, Color of Change, Emerge America, Swing Left, and Run for Something.

Seven months and some incredible victories later, I’m even more proud and inspired to work alongside these organizations.

We’ve got big plans for 2018. 

We aren’t stopping with five organizations, either. Across the country, new groups like these are cropping up, powered by activists of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences -- and we’re working every day to find the most promising and support them.

There is so much to be done. Let’s do it together.

Thank you,

Hillary

IS IT BAD FOR WOMEN? REPUBLICANS TRIED TO PASS IT.

David,

Abortion bans. The tax scam bill. Obamacare repeals.

Name a bill that's terrible for women, middle class families, or the most vulnerable, and Republicans have tried to pass it.

Which is why we're determined to find strong candidates who can help flip the House AND Senate next year and stop President Trump and congressional Republicans' dangerous agenda.

But we need to support all of our pro-choice Democratic women running for re-election and defeat dozens of vulnerable Republicans to help make that happen.


Republicans' majority control of Congress puts them in a position to pass legislation that's bad for women and families, confirm unqualified judicial nominees, and even put an end to the investigation of Trump's ties to Russia.

But next year, that could change.

We need to re-elect all of our women in Congress and flip 24 seats in the House and two seats in the Senate for Democrats to take control. We've already endorsed 21 red-to-blue challengers to help get it done (with more to come), so taking back both chambers of Congress, with a wave of pro-choice Democratic women, is well within reach.

All of them need our strongest support to win next year and turn Congress blue.


Thanks,

Christina Reynolds
Vice President of Communications, EMILY's List

NO LONGER TOLERATE. THE CLASSROOM PAGE, AND OTHER E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE.

THE GOAL OF THIS PAGE, OR ANY LETTERS I PUBLISH ON THE SITE, IS TO ALLOW POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE, POLITICAL ACTIVISTS, NON-PROFIT GROUPS etc., A CHANCE TO REACH OUT AND COMMUNICATE WITH READERS WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE IDEOLOGY, GOALS, AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT MAKE THEM WORTHY OF SUPPORT AND CONSIDERATION. 

I REALIZED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, THAT MANY AMERICANS HAVE NO IDEA, BEYOND THEIR OWN STATE OR DISTRICT, THE IMPACT THAT OTHER PUBLIC FIGURES AND GROUPS HAVE ON THEIR DAY TO DAY LIVES. I ALSO CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEWS MEDIA WOULD OFTEN IGNORE REAL NEWS THAT RELAYED PRACTICAL AND FACTUAL INFORMATION, FOR MEANINGLESS SOUND BITES FILLED WITH INNUENDO AND GOSSIP.  THE LETTERS AND E-MAIL I PUBLISH ARE A WAY FOR THE AUTHOR(S) TO REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO MAY NOT UNDERSTAND, OR EVEN BE AWARE OF THE 
TRUE PURPOSES AND GOALS THAT BROUGHT THEM INTO THE PUBLIC SPECTRUM.

THAT BEING SAID, I AM NOT A FUNDRAISER.  THIS PAGE IS NOT SET UP FOR THE PURPOSES OF BROWBEATING OR GUILTING  ME, OR ANYONE ELSE, INTO MAKING A DONATION.  I DO NOT CHARGE A FEE, ASK FOR AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE SITE ITSELF, OR SEEK A ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW AS A REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLICATION. HOWEVER, I AM GETTING TIRED OF THE JUVENILE AND CONDESCENDING LETTERS I RECEIVE THAT PRACTICALLY ACCUSE ME OF INDIFFERENCE AND CALLOUSNESS IF MY DONATION IS NOT SENT PROMPTLY.

SO, IT IS NOW ONE STRIKE AND YOUR OUT. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, WHAT PARTY OR 
IDEOLOGY YOU IDENTIFY WITH, OR HOW "NOBLE" YOUR MISSION IS. THE NEXT LETTER OR 
E-MAIL I RECEIVE THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE MANNER I HAVE DESCRIBED WILL RESULT IN 
PERMANENT BANISHMENT FROM THIS SITE. 

I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INCLUSION OF A REQUEST FOR FUNDS OR DONATIONS IS AUTOMATIC, AND I TAKE THAT IN STRIDE. IT IS THE DEMEANING, JUVENLIE, AND CONDESCENDING CORRESPONDENCE THAT I AM REFERRING TO, AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANY LONGER
