I’m asking for your opinion. MICHIGAN GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WITMER.

DAVID, Starting tonight, 20 candidates will take the stage in Detroit for the second Democratic Presidential Debates! As governor and a lifelong Michigander, I’m thrilled to welcome them. Ahead of the candidates taking the stage, I’ve hosted many of them at events across Michigan where they’ve shared their ideas and plans for our country. Now, I’d like to hear from you. What issues should the candidates highlight on stage this week?

SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK

​We’ve talked about the importance of expanding access to health care, funding quality public education, and ensuring that everyone has a path to a good-paying job – plus, infrastructure and how we #FTDR, or as we say in Michigan: fix the damn roads! Now we have the chance to ensure that these issues are discussed on the debate stage for the whole country to see. Instead of hoping that presidential candidates talk about the issues that matter to us, let’s weigh in. What should the candidates be talking about? What do you want to hear? Take a moment and share your priorities with me and the DGA. We can’t let this moment pass us by – not after we’ve seen what a Trump presidency looks like. I’m counting on you to speak out, DAVID. Thank you, Gretchen Whitmer Governor of Michigan

Kamala Harris and "Medicare for All." BERNIE SANDERS.

David -

Medicare for All has the support of a majority of voters and huge parts of the Democratic Party. So it’s no surprise that other candidates for president want to say they also support Medicare for All.

Sen. Kamala Harris released a plan today that her campaign calls "Medicare for All" — you can call it anything you want, but you can’t call that plan Medicare for All.

Her plan is centered around privatizing Medicare, enriching insurance executives and introducing more corporate greed and profiteering into the Medicare system — and even then, waiting for 10 years before any changes happen.

Medicare for All means Medicare for All. Not more private insurance. Not more profits for denying care. And we cannot wait to fix our broken system.

Add your name if you agree: Medicare for All means Medicare for All. We need a strong show of support before tomorrow’s debate to say that healthcare must be a right, not a privilege.

ADD YOUR NAME

Our campaign is rejecting money from health insurance and drug company executives. We don’t want to have the support of people who profit off of our broken healthcare system. And anyone who wants to fix that system must do the same.

The time is long overdue to guarantee healthcare to every man, woman and child as a right, not a privilege, under a true Medicare for All system.

Thank you for standing up to make healthcare a human right.

In solidarity,

Faiz Shakir
Campaign Manager

AMY KLOBUCHAR: AT LEAST ONE CAND. FOR THE WHITE HOUSE WAS PAYING ATTENTION.

TO MY READERS, (THE FOLLOWING REFERS TO ROBERT MUELLERS TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, REGARDING THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.) This part of ROBERT MUELLERS Testimony, (SEE BELOW), was incredibly important, yet the DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS STRANGELY SILENT ABOUT IT. COULD IT BE THAT MANY OF THOSE NOW SEEKING THE NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT DID OR SAID NOTHING TO OBJECT TO THIS BOGUS ELECTION? IT WASN'T BILLIONAIRES AND CORPORATIONS WHO SAT IN CONGRESS AND FAILED TO ACT, OR EVEN EXPRESS CONCERN OR RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE OUTCOME.  A FRAUDULENT OUTCOME THAT GAVE US A NATIONAL DISGRACE CALLED DONALD TRUMP. - DAVID. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (AMYS LETTER.) David, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee today told us what we already knew:  The Russian attack on our democracy in 2016 was not an isolated attempt. The Russians didn’t use bombs, tanks or missiles. Instead, they planned a sophisticated cyber mission to undermine our democratic system. We know there's a continued threat against our democracy. As Special Counsel Mueller stated during the hearing, “they’re doing it as we sit here.” Our elections in 2020 are vulnerable and the Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, refuses to act.  (ITALICS ARE MINE- DAVID) What we need to do now is address these facts to make sure that our election systems are resilient against future attacks. We must pass the Election Security Act -- a bipartisan bill I introduced that will make our elections more secure and require backup paper ballots. And as President, I will make protecting our elections a top priority. In my first 100 Days, I will launch government-wide cybersecurity initiatives and set up a cabinet-level taskforce on election cybersecurity. But I need your help to get to the White House. Our next President must be someone who people can trust and who can get things done.  Thank you, Amy Will you make a donation to help me defeat Donald Trump in 2020?
