How do we stop climate change? JENNIFER WEXTON.
David,
This past weekend marked the two-year anniversary of Donald Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. This reckless action drastically set back our efforts to fight climate change. And new studies show that time is quickly running out to reverse its effects.
Jennifer knows that we need bold action to preserve our planet and natural resources for future generations. And if we’re going to act, we need to get as many citizens involved as possible.
Your voice matters to her. Can you take a minute to fill out our survey and tell Jennifer your thoughts on how we can stop climate change?

SURVEY RESPONSE REQUESTED
How should we address climate change? RESPONDENT: David McDonald SURVEY STATUS: 0% Complete |
Jennifer has always fought for
renewable energy and responsible stewardship. When she was in the State Senate,
she sponsored legislation that would expand consumers’ access to community
solar energy, mandate quicker reporting on hazardous spills in Virginia
waterways, and broaden the powers of the Department of Environmental Quality to
go after polluters.
She’s brought these principles to Congress, and was proud to vote for the Climate Action Now Act last month to affirm the House’s support for the Paris Climate Agreement. But she’s up against a White House that questions science, an EPA that’s being blocked from doing its job, and countless special interest groups that work to advance the agenda of polluters.
She can’t win this fight alone, and that’s why your voice is so important. Please take our survey here >>
Thank you,
Team Wexton

Can you take our short #NoMiddleGround survey? BERNIE SANDERS.
David
-
Last weekend,
Bernie gave a rousing speech at the California Democratic Party convention.
He
talked about the fact that there can be no “middle ground” on issues like
climate change, health care, and putting a stop to our endless wars.
We’ve
included a large part of the speech below. But today, what we want to know is
this: what are the issues you care about that there can be no middle ground on?
Here’s
the part of the speech that went viral:
"We have got to make it clear that
when the future of the planet is at stake, there is no “middle ground.” We will
take on the fossil fuel industry and transform our energy system.
We have got to make it clear that when this country drifts toward oligarchy, there is no “middle ground.” Large profitable corporations like Amazon will pay their fair share of taxes.
When it comes to health care, there is no “middle ground.” Health care is a human right, not a privilege and we will guarantee health care to all of our people through a Medicare for All single-payer system.
When it comes to abortion, there is no “middle ground.” A woman has the right to control her own life, not the government.
When it comes to prescription drugs, no “middle ground.” We are going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and cut prescription drug prices in half.
And when it comes to mass shootings and the fact that 40,000 people were killed last year with guns, no “middle ground.” We will take on the NRA.
And when it comes to criminal justice reform and immigration reform, no “middle ground.” We will take on the prison-industrial complex. We will take on racism at the border.
And when it comes to foreign policy, no “middle ground.” We will finally put an end to a bloated military budget and end endless wars."

Take
the short survey. Tell us the issues that you believe there can be no middle
ground on:
This
is important. We’ll make sure Bernie gets the results. So thank you for
sounding off.
All
our best,

People are literally lining up out the door. AMY KLOBUCHAR.
David,
100 years ago today, Congress passed the 19th Amendment -- which was ratified by the states in 1920 -- stating that the right to vote should not be denied on the basis of sex. We’ve come a long way since then! But we still haven’t had a woman in the White House.
When people ask me if Amy can break this barrier, I tell them that breaking barriers is what she does best. When she first ran for Senate, Minnesota had never elected a woman senator. She had less in the bank than her opponent. But she won that race and every race after that because of her grit, energy and commitment to getting things done.
Now as Amy travels across the country, I see the enthusiasm for her candidacy grow every day. People are literally lining up out the door to hear her speak! And the polling shows her momentum grows with every person who hears her message.
