Introducing myself. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

Hi David. I'm Maura, and I wanted to introduce myself.

After serving our country on the front lines as a U.S. Marine, I spent 6 years in the Obama administration both at the VA and the Pentagon. I've seen firsthand that who we put in office really matters. That's why I'm running for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st district.

New Hampshire's 1st district is one of the last true swing districts in the country. It has gone back and forth every two years from Democrat to Republican, and the current representative is retiring this year. Keeping this seat blue will be key to Democrats taking back the house in November. I can do it -- but I need your help.

I can’t sit back while so much is at stake for our communities and our country. I feel called to step up to fight tirelessly on behalf of the people of New Hampshire.

Thank you,
Maura Sullivan.

Families belong together, David. HILLARY CLINTON, ONWARD TOGETHER.


David --

Since I reached out to ask this community to step up and support the groups working to protect and reunite families that have been separated at the border, you’ve raised more than $1 million dollars that will be split between the teams at the American Civil Liberties Union, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, Human Rights First, Kids in Need of Defense, La Union del Pueblo Entero, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, United We Dream Action, We Belong Together, and the Women’s Refugee Commission.

To each and every person who made a donation, no matter how big or small: Thank you.

You may have heard about the White House's just-announced executive order. It will mean more families and children are kept in detention centers and jails for longer -- and it doesn't offer a plan to reunite families already separated. This is not a solution.

Right now, protests, marches, and other events are being organized across the country for Saturday, June 30th to demand our government stop treating these children and their parents like criminals -- take a moment to find one near you, then say you’ll join millions of Americans in standing against this cruel practice.

One mother unable to find their infant or one child being kept in a cage would be unacceptable. What’s happening right now is a crisis so overwhelming that it can be difficult to know how best to help, but your voice is needed now more than ever.

Please sign up for a rally in your community -- or to host an event of your own -- and take a stand on behalf of immigrant families:

Thank you,

Rep. Seth Moulton, rising Democratic star, leading our GOTV rally on Monday!! CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE PAT RYAN.

David -- Couldn’t be prouder to announce that my friend and mentor, Congressman Seth Moulton, will be leading a rally with our supporters here in Kingston on Monday, June 25th, the day before Election Day.
 
For those of you who don’t know Seth, he’s exactly the type of servant-leader we need more of in Washington - the type of leader that I will be for our district. Seth represents Massachusetts' 6th District, and served in the Marines before being elected to Congress. He's also a rising star in the Democratic Party (you can read some more about him in the NYTimes and Politico) and I think he has a tremendous future as a next-generation leader who can present an alternative policy vision to the Trump agenda.
 
Seth knows what it takes to break through partisan gridlock and actually get things done in Washington, and has been a leader in standing up to President Trump’s dangerous policies. I’m truly honored to have his support in this fight, and to be the only candidate in this primary field with the endorsement of a sitting Member of Congress.
 
On Monday, we’ll be rallying with our top supporters at our Campaign HQ to get fired up and kick off our final day of GOTV. Come hear Rep. Moulton speak and then pick up a packet and head out to knock doors or make calls at HQ. I hope that you’ll join us.

Let it sink in. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEVE SEVIGNY, MD.


Dear David,

Half-measures and political posturing are unacceptable. Children are being thrown in cages. Taken from their parents. Having their shoelaces and toys taken from them. Tossed in cages. Having their diapers changed by other children.
Let that sink in.


Demand your Senators take action!
Mothers and fathers packed up their children along with what little they have and embarked on a perilous journey in search of a better life. This is the story that began what we know today as America. And it is the same story that is being turned into a dystopian nightmare on our southern border. Our immigration system is broken, we've known that for quite some time. The can has been kicked down the road while Republicans have sown fear and hatred to win elections. 

It's time to end that. It's time to decide what our values are, who we want to be as people and as a nation. 

While it may take more than a few days to enact meaningful change, we can no longer afford to wait for the Washington establishment to act on an issue they have ignored for far too long.

Join me in demanding that your Senators introduce meaningful, compassionate action to truly reform our broken immigration system instead of allowing it to continue to be a desperate, fear-mongering ploy for votes and children held hostage to politics.


In Solidarity,
Steve
