Do you remember 2004?  I do. And so do most Ohioans.

We remember waiting hours to vote using antiquated punch cards or broken machines, and a complete failure of our election system to work on behalf of us, the citizens. It was a failure of th…

South Carolinians are known for our strong opinions — on sports, weather, politics, even BBQ. As a native of the Palmetto State, my friends, family, and neighbors share their opinions with me just about every day. And that has been my favorite part about traveling around the state as I run for the United States Senate — hearing directly from the people.

Unfortunately, South Carolina Republicans have repeatedly tried to make it more difficult to hear the opinions of us citizens. They are attempting to silence our voices by playing politics with our most fundamental right — the right to vote.

In few states has there been a harder fight for the right to vote than in South Carolina. The Department of Justice has intervened in over a hundred election laws through the Voting Rights Act over the years, including a voter ID bill. Thats why, when the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act, many attorneys thought the court got it wrong.   

But after my initial disappointment in the Supreme Court decision, I quickly remembered the lessons of the Civil Rights Movement and what comes naturally to all South Carolinians — to organize our neighbors, to mobilize our communities, and to make our voices heard. I decided that I was going to share my opinion with anyone and everyone who would listen.  And I want you to join me.

Contact your state Democratic Party today and find out what you can do to help register and educate voters in time for this year’s election. It is too important to wait.

In honor of Black History Month and Rosa Parks’ birthday, we celebrate the many times she stood for fairness and equality — and changed our nation along the way.

This is the month we honor the many contributions African Americans have made to our nation. Through centuries, African Americans have fought courageously for their rights and the rights of others, charting a path toward equality and freedom that has…

January can be pretty bleak, you guys. It’s already dark by the time I go to lunch, it’s been near single digits this week in D.C. (though as a native Chicagoan I probably shouldn’t complain), and Democrats have to think about Election Day when for most people, it’s too far off to care.

But our January deadline is critical — and we’re close enough that I’m getting excited about meeting our goals. But we need you on this. We’re looking at competitive races across the map, including places you might not normally think of — like Texas, Arizona, and Georgia. But we need Democrats to donate $10 or more to keep our footing strong across the country.

Our deadline is midnight tonight, and I’m confident that if you take action, we’ll be able to lay the strategic groundwork in places across the country to celebrate Democratic victories in November.

How does that sound? Pretty good?

Chip in today:

First Lady Michelle Obama sent an email to supporters urging them to chip in to support Democrats protecting Obamacare. Here’s what she had to say:

Friend —

Earlier this month, because of what you did, it became illegal for insurance companies to discriminate against the up to 129 million Americans living with pre-existing conditions. Young Americans are able to stay on their parents’ health care plans as they get on their feet, and we can now know that our insurance companies won’t put lifetime caps on our coverage.

You should be so proud of that. That happened because you organized, you talked to your friends and neighbors, and you chipped in what you could, when you could, to elect Barack and a Congress who supported his agenda.

Today, I’m asking you to do it again.

So before Barack gives his State of the Union address tomorrow, chip in $10 or more and help protect Obamacare:

Thank you so much,

Michelle
