TRUMP FIRED SESSIONS. WE NEED TO ACT. U.S. SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS.

Senator Kamala Harris

There is broad bipartisan support for legislation to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but Republican leaders have refused to bring it to the floor. We cannot afford to wait now that Donald Trump has fired Jeff Sessions. Add your name to my urgent petition demanding Republicans schedule a vote on legislation to protect Robert Mueller.

WHITAKER IS A FLAGRANT PARTISAN... U.S. SENATOR SHELDON WHITEHOUSE.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

 

Whitaker is a flagrant partisan, is opposed to the Special Counsel investigation, was appointed in violation of Advice & Consent Clause, apparently won’t recuse despite conflicts, and now this.

Sleaze factor going through the roof. This is The United States Department of Justice, folks!

TWO YEARS LATER. HILLARY CLINTON, ONWARD TOGETHER.

David -- Congratulations to all the voters, volunteers, organizers, and candidates who voted on Tuesday to put a powerful check on this administration and start building a better future for everyone in our country. It was a historic night in so many ways: For the first time ever, over 100 women were elected to Congress—including a record number of women of color. Sharice Davids and Deb Haaland will be the first Native American women to ever serve in Congress. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar will be the first Muslim women to serve. Ayanna Pressley and Jahana Hayes will be the first black women to represent Massachusetts and Connecticut in Congress, respectively. Tish James will be the first black woman to be New York's attorney general. Janet Mills will be the first woman governor of Maine. Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer will be the first women to represent Iowa in the House. Finkenauer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the youngest women to be elected to Congress ever. The inspiring Lucy McBath became an activist for common-sense gun reform after her son, Jordan, was shot and killed. This cycle, she ran for Congress in a heavily Republican district in Georgia—and yesterday, she declared victory. These historic firsts are important not just because representation matters (and it does), but because these extraordinary women will bring perspectives that have been absent from our policy debates for far too long. There were important wins for rights, too, including Floridians voting to restore the voting rights of 1 million of their fellow citizens and Nevada approving automatic voter registration. None of these victories would have been possible if people had simply given up after the heartbreak of 2016. They belong to all the volunteers and candidates who worked impossible hours, logged hundreds of miles, and knocked on countless doors. Two years ago, it wasn’t clear where this team would go next. But over the last two years, you've built something incredible, and I couldn’t be more proud to be in this fight alongside you. Our work is far from over. As we celebrate our wins, let's be clear about what's ahead. Onward! Hillary

What we accomplished together in Mass. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts

Dear Searchingforreason.N, I’m so proud of what we accomplished last night in the 2018 midterm elections here in Massachusetts. The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund launched our largest midterm electoral program to date, fighting back against discrimination and electing and reelecting bold leaders who will champion reproductive rights at the State House. Here’s a recap of what we accomplished together: 1.) We reaffirmed that transgender rights are human rights. Yes on 3, the state ballot measure to uphold transgender nondiscrimination protections, won in an overwhelming landslide. For months now, our organizers and volunteers have been hard at work supporting Yes on 3 by knocking on doors, making phone calls, and standing in solidarity with our transgender neighbors at every opportunity.  We reject the Trump administration’s efforts to erase civil rights protections for transgender people. With last night’s election results, we affirm the dignity and humanity of our transgender neighbors. 2.) We elected and reelected strong local leaders to the Massachusetts State House. Thanks to the hard work of each and every one of you, we will continue to have a pro-reproductive health majority in the Massachusetts House AND Senate. Some of our most exciting wins include:  The 18th Essex District: PPAF-endorsed candidate Tram Nguyen, a young woman of color running on a bold pro-reproductive health agenda, defeated Rep. Jim Lyons, one of the biggest anti-reproductive rights, anti-LGBTQ opponents in the State House. The 17th Worcester District: PPAF-endorsed candidate David LeBoeuf, defeated Paul Fullen, a vocal opponent of Planned Parenthood and a frequent protester outside Planned Parenthood’s Worcester health center. We helped reelect incumbents like Rep. Natalie Higgins, Rep. Jim Hawkins,Senator Jamie Eldridge, and Senator Paul Feeney, all whom were instrumental in helping us protect birth control access and repeal Massachusetts’ archaic abortion laws. 3.) Voters flipped the U.S. House to a pro-reproductive health majority. The U.S. House is now charged with and empowered to defend our country against the Trump-Pence agenda. A record number of women ran for office this year, winning decisive victories across the country. Here in Massachusetts, Congresswomen-elect Ayanna Pressley (MA-7) and Lori Trahan (MA-3) will head to D.C. and join the rest of the pro-reproductive health Massachusetts Congressional Delegation.   The 2018 midterm elections may be over – but here at the Advocacy Fund, we’re just getting started. Next legislative session, with our strongest majority in the State House, we’re going to fight like hell to ensure every person in the Commonwealth has access to the sexual and reproductive health care and information they need and deserve – no matter what. Thank you, Searchingforreason.N, for canvassing, phone banking, and voting with the Advocacy Fund these midterm elections – and thank you for standing with us in the fights ahead.   Sincerely, Jennifer Childs-Roshak, MD, MBA President Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts @DrJenCR
