Make sure
Republicans know they can't hide from their constituents. Add your name to
tell the GOP to protect affordable health care, not repeal it:
Jim -- Yesterday, at Sen. Tom Cotton's town hall in Here's what happened:  The GOP's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act will affect us all. We have to do everything we can to protect our health care. Scenes like this one are happening all across the country, but Trump and some Republican members of Congress are trying to dismiss them as the work of paid protestors. That's just absurd. Another woman came to Cotton's town hall to ask what he'd do to help her husband, who currently only pays $29 a month for health insurance under the ACA. She told him that she lives just down the road from his district office. She wasn't a paid protestor. The man who showed up at Sen. Chuck Grassley's town hall in One woman in Republicans know that the more they talk about their plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the more popular the ACA gets. They'd rather dismiss their constituents or even cancel town hall meetings altogether than look them in the eye and admit that they've spent the last seven years trying to take health care away from millions of Americans. Let's make sure they know there's nowhere to hide. Click here and join the 308,961 grassroots Democrats who have called on Congress to protect the Affordable Care Act. Even if your Republican representatives aren't holding town halls (or if you're fortunate enough to be represented in Congress by Democrats who will fight for your health care), you can still make your voice heard: Thanks, Eric Eric Walker Deputy Communications Director Democratic National Committee |

Jim --
It's here. The Senate is on the verge of permanently eliminating our ability to prevent wasteful methane leaks from oil and gas wells on our public lands. They're about to strip away the protections the Obama administration put into place to cut climate pollution and protect public health. And they're doing it through the radical and rare Congressional Review Act, or CRA. It's part of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the new administration's extreme agenda. These special interest giveaways might be popular with their polluter allies, but permanently eliminating rules against pollution and corruption, as well as ones that defend our health and safety, don't make any sense in the real world. So far, Congress has passed three CRA resolutions: -- One that would allow oil and mining companies to make secret payments to foreign governments -- a recipe for influence-buying and corruption. -- Another that would permit the purchase of guns by people whose mental health, according to the Social Security Administration, impairs them from managing their affairs. -- A third that allows coal companies to literally bury mountain streams with mine waste. Pro-corruption, anti-safety, and anti-environment. In what world are those the priorities our Congress should be focused on? Say you won't stand for it. Congress should focus on Did I mention that repealing this methane rule would waste $330 million a year -- revenue that's just burned or leaked away -- that could pay for some of these priorities? Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and caused by human activities like the very same methane pollution this rule will sanction. That's not an alternative fact -- that is stone-cold reality. The evidence is right in front of us, and members of Congress would see it too if they'd look out the windows of their fancy offices for one second. Each of the past three years has been record-hot -- it was almost 100 degrees in These congressional leaders need to wake up and get their priorities straight. And we're going to hold their feet to the fire until they do. They're starting to feel the heat on Obamacare, and believe me, that won't be the end of it. Our voices will be heard. Add yours.
Thanks,
Jack

Pitch in $3 or
whatever you can to help us reach our new 60,000 donation goal before
tomorrow's deadline:
Senators and representatives are back in Washington this week, Jim. Did you see your Republican member of Congress while they were at home? There's a good chance that the answer is no, because most Republicans spent the past week dodging constituents who want to protect affordable health care and hold the Trump administration accountable. Case in point: Instead of meeting with North Carolinians, Sen. Thom Tillis visited When one of Sen. Marco Rubio's constituents confronted his senator to ask him to host another town hall, Rubio ran away -- and then hopped on a plane to Nevada Sen. Dean Heller said he'd only hold a town hall if there was "no applauding and no booing." (Yes, that's a sitting U.S. Senator who's afraid of a little bit of clapping.) And then there's Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert. He had the audacity to use the shooting of Gabby Giffords to justify skipping in-person town halls. Her response, to him and the rest of the GOP: "Have some courage." Republicans think they can dodge their constituents without facing any consequences. Let's send them a message they can't ignore: 60,000 donations this month to elect Democrats. Before tomorrow's deadline, pitch in $3 or more to help us hit our goal.

Jim -- There's no honeymoon period when it comes to getting our party recharged and ready for our fights ahead. I'm still learning names and figuring out where the best coffee in DNC HQ is, but before I get settled, I need to ask for your help.Can you help us hit our goal of 60,000 grassroots donations before our end-of-month deadline tonight so we're ready to hit the ground running? I've spent the last few months on a listening tour and at DNC Future Forums all across the country where Democrats have made their voices heard about what we want and need to see from this party moving forward. We only succeed when we have a real presence in every state and territory, and elect people from the school board to the Senate who share our values. Keith Ellison and I and the rest of the newly elected officers of the Democratic National Committee are fired up and ready to take on Trump and the GOP by communicating our values loud and clear and investing in Democrats from the grassroots on up. But we need your help, Jim. Can you pitch in $3 or whatever you can today to help us start this new chapter off strong?

Pitch in before
midnight tonight to help us reach our 60,000 donation goal:
I've never had any doubt in my mind about what it means to be a Democrat, Jim. We're the party of everyday people in every zip code and from every background. We stand with working people who deserve a living wage. We fight to protect health care as a right that is guaranteed to every American. We demand that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share. But although our ideas are right and our values are just, we didn't motivate enough people to get to the polls in 2016. And because of that, our party suffered some heartbreaking defeats. Today, that all changes. We're on the path back to standing up for every single American. It's going to take all of us coming together to take back our country, Jim -- that's why I was proud to stand with Tom Perez and accept the job of Deputy Chair of the Democratic Party. If you're with us, pitch in $3 or more before midnight tonight to show you're ready to rebuild. Our pledge to you is that the Democratic Party will leave no stone unturned. We're going to organize in all 50 states, all 3,143 counties. We will compete for every vote and give every Democratic voter a reason to show up at the ballot box. Together, we're going to win back school boards, state legislatures, and Congress. And we'll beat Trump and take back the White House. Tom and I know we can do it, Jim, because we've both seen what Democrats can accomplish when we work together towards a common goal. But we don't have a person to spare or a moment to waste, so I need you to have some skin in the game. We're looking for 60,000 grassroots donations before the February deadline at midnight. Chip in $3 or more before then to help Democrats get ready for the fights ahead.

Jim -- Real leaders don't spread derision and division -- they build partnerships and offer solutions instead of ideology and blame. And they make improving people's lives their highest priority. That's the message I delivered in response to Donald Trump's address to Congress tonight. We heard throughout his campaign as he promised that making life better for the working men and women of this country would be his priority. The only problem is the GOP's agenda is fundamentally at odds with the best interests of those Americans. I'm proud to be a Democrat because I know that when our party is firing on all cylinders, we have what it takes to help people in big, meaningful ways. Our policies and our priorities are the ones that make a difference in the lives of the greatest number of people in this country -- not just the 1% who stand to benefit from Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan's plans. As Democrats, our job is to make that case. Jim, can I count on you to help us do it? When I was governor of the red state of Kentucky, I saw firsthand the disconnect between what people think Democrats stand for in Washington and the good work we were doing on the ground. My state had some of the most unhealthy people in this country for as long as they have been keeping rankings. We needed a big solution. Lo and behold, the Affordable Care Act came along, and I saw it as our one chance to make a big difference in people's futures. I would tell many skeptical Kentuckians, "Look, you don't have to like the president, and you don't have to like me -- because this is not about him or me. It's about you. It's about your family. It's about your kids." We showed how it would help us economically. How if we had a healthy workforce, we could have a productive workforce. In the first 18 months, we had almost half a million people sign up for coverage -- many of whom were getting health care for the first time in their lives. We saw one of the largest drops in the uninsured rate in the country, from 20 to 7.5 percent. And a study of the first year of expanded Medicaid showed a positive economic impact on My successor in office was a Republican who ran and won on the promise of ripping up Obamacare on day one. But we saw in American families desperately need our president to put his full attention on creating opportunity and good-paying jobs and preserving their right to affordable health care and a quality education. It's up to Democrats to keep making our case and keep that pressure on. Pitch in $3 or more tonight to help our party take this fight to all 50 states -- and win it.
