This is no "witch hunt." U.S. SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN.

I'm deeply concerned about what's going on in the White House right now: Ending Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in our elections would cripple our democracy. 
But President Trump is refusing to take this investigation seriously. This investigation isn't a "witch hunt," it's a matter of national security and critical to protecting our democracy. Every step the president takes to undermine this investigation puts our nation at risk of further attacks. 
The American people need to know the extent of Russian interference in our elections – and we need to protect Robert Mueller so he can get to the bottom of this. That's why I'm supporting a bill in Congress to protect the special counsel from political meddling – but Mitch McConnell and Republican leadership won't bring it to the floor. 
I won't give up the fight until the American people have answers once and for all. But the future of our democracy is at stake, so I need you to add your voice to mine:
Thank you,

Jeanne.

FEATURE ARTICLES. THE IRAN NUCLEAR TREATY- AVOIDING REALITY. PT 2.

United Nations, Un, Vienna, Un City

So now we have Two or more Governments sitting at the Negotiation Table, each
One Probably Aware to a Certain Extent of Why the Others are there. Before going on
with Further Analysis, it is Important to remember the Following:

-  THIS IS AN ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP, AND THE HOSTILITY BETWEEN THOSE INVOLVED IN NEGOTIATIONS IS GOING TO SHAPE THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE CONDUCTED.

Each Side can CREATE AN IMMEDIATE TONE FOR THE NEGOTIATIONS, BY SIMPLY TREATING THE OPPOSING SIDE AS:

-  A PERENNIAL ENEMY WHO CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED.

                                            OR

-  AN OPPONENT ON THE WORLD STAGE, WHO MUST 
EARN TRUST BY SHOWING GOOD FAITH AND FLEXIBILITY.  ALSO,
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEIR MOTIVATIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT,  
BUT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VALID ENOUGH TO HAVE AN OPEN
DIALOGUE.

                                             OR 

-   A POSSIBLE FUTURE ALLY OR FRIEND, GIVEN A CHANGE IN
CIRCUMSTANCES.  ALSO, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PERSON OR 
PERSONS YOU ARE NEGOTIATING WITH NOW, MAY BE THOSE WHO
HOLD THE REIGNS OF POWER IN THE FUTURE.

WHILE MANY WILL NAIVELY CLAIM THAT COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN 
WILL NEVER BE A FRIEND OR ALLY FORGET THAT THE ART 
OF DIPLOMACY IS TO DO WHAT IS IN YOUR COUNTRIES BEST 
INTEREST, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.  THIS DOESN'T MEAN 
GIVING UP YOUR IDEALS, AND BECOMING WHAT YOU FEAR AND 
HATE.  IT'S ADAPTING TODAYS SITUATION, TO LESSONS FROM THE 
PAST, BOTH GOOD AND BAD.  


Just in the 20th Century, think of the COUNTRIES WHO WERE AT ONE TIME ALLIES OF THE U.S. WHO BECAME FOES, OR VICE- VERSA, FOES WHO LATER BECAME ALLIES.

[Obamacare Update] Republican admits why prices are ⬆...

David,

A top Republican just admitted their tax scam bill is raising health care costs.

President Trump's former Health and Human Services secretary, Tom Price, confessed that removing crucial elements of Obamacare — which Republicans did when they passed their tax scam bill in December — will actually increase insurance costs.

It's just more proof the Trump administration and Republicans will sink to all-time lows — even knowingly harming Americans — to give handouts to their wealthy donors.

...help elect pro-choice Democratic women to replace Republicans who serve their wealthy donors more than their constituents.

Just last year, Price said Obamacare was "harming the patients of this land."

But we know who's really hurting Americans:

It's President Trump, his cabinet members, and congressional Republicans who have been fighting tooth and nail to decimate Obamacare — forcing millions off their insurance and raising health care costs for all of us.

Team Building Tuesday. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEVE SEVIGNY.



Dear David,
Healthcare is a human right. I am campaigning to make the healthcare system of our nation reflect that core value. I can't do it alone. To make it work, I need help to win my campaign, and we need many others who agree that healthcare is a human right to win their campaigns. We need a majority in Congress who not only agree that healthcare is a human right, but will fight to make it happen.
We are declaring Tuesdays for the remainder of this campaign to be Team Building Tuesdays. Every Tuesday we will tell you about other candidates around the nation who are fighting to ensure everyone gets access to all the care they need without fear of crippling debt. Champions who will stand up to the insurance lobby and big PHARMA, putting people before profits.
Laura Moser is running in the Seventh Congressional District of Texas, with a runoff election coming up in just a couple weeks. She is an outspoken advocate for healthcare. Laura may not be a doctor, but she diagnosed the problems of our system:
"Our health care policy making system in Washington is broken. Rooms full of men deciding what women can’t do with their own bodies, insurance lobbyists and pharmaceutical companies stuffing any bill they can get their hands on with favorable kickbacks, and an administration intent on tearing down every piece of Obamacare until there’s nothing left."
We need champions like Laura to win in their districts. We need a healthcare is a human right majority to hit the ground running as soon as they are sworn in next January. Together we can rebuild our healthcare system into one that puts patients first, empowers doctors to provide the best possible care, and improves outcomes for everyone except those that put greed before the health of our communities.
Sincerely,
Steve
