Historic Change: Nov 8, 2006
My Trip to Uganda: Oct 5, 2006; I just returned from a trip to Uganda and wanted to share my experience with you. Uganda is home to one of the greatest unreported humanitarian crises in the world — millions of people have been displaced from their homes and subjected to horrific violence. And with the exception of extraordinary groups, like the International Rescue Committee (IRC), whom I traveled with, most of the world is ignoring this tragedy.
Remembering Katrina's Victims: Aug 25, 2006; Nearly a year has passed since Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast near New Orleans, killing more than 1,400 of our fellow Americans and driving hundreds of thousands from their homes.
End Genocide in Darfur: Aug 22, 2006; Many times I have asked for your help, and you've come through every time. Never before have I asked for your help on a matter of life and death. Before one more child is tortured, before one more woman is raped, we must urge President Bush to lead the effort to create a NATO force to stop the genocide in Darfur.
Update on One America Votes: Aug 3, 2006; Thank you for participating in "One America Votes" to help decide which Congressional races should be my top priorities for fundraising help. The response of our online community was overwhelming - more than 20,000 people have already voted, and competition for the two top spots is intense.
Still Time to Vote: Aug 3, 2006; Last week, I sent you an invitation to cast a ballot in "One America Votes." One America Votes lets you -- the members of our online community -- decide which Congressional races should be my top priorities for fundraising help. I've been traveling the country and have already raised $6.65 million for Democrats.
Let's Decide Together: Jul 27, 2006; The tide is turning in Democrats' favor. We have a strong chance of winning back the House in the 2006 elections. I've been working hard, traveling the country, and have already raised more than $6.65 million for Democrats. I've attended fundraisers for strong congressional candidates in more than a dozen states this election cycle and I'm committed to helping as many candidates as possible before November. Now, I'm looking to the One America online community to tell me which competitive races should be my primary focus.
A Conversation with President Carter: Jul 19, 2006; I want to invite you to visit the One America Book Club. This month, we're reading and discussing Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis by President Jimmy Carter. I had the pleasure of discussing this remarkable book with President Carter, and you can listen to our conversation here.
End Poverty: Jun 22, 2006; If we want to lead - and in these times our nation is in desperate need of leadership in a different direction - we must dream big and act boldly. After all, we will never get what we don't reach for.
Give Workers a Raise: Jun 17, 2006; I just spoke to Senator Ted Kennedy. He needs our help. Next week — possibly as early as Monday — the Senate will vote on his bill to increase the minimum wage. This will be the only time the Senate takes up the minimum wage this year — and we have to make a strong showing of support.
When MoveOn and the Christian Coalition Agree: Jun 6, 2006; When MoveOn and The Christian Coalition agree about something, it's a good bet they're right. Groups as wide-ranging as Gun Owners of America on one side and U.S. PIRG and the One America Committee on the other are fighting to keep the Internet the way it is now — free and open to anyone with access to a computer.
Thank You for Speaking Out: Jun 2, 2006; If you've been worried about the possibility of President Bush being let off the hook in the CIA leak investigation, let me tell you about the overwhelming response we've had to our demand for full accountability in this scandal.
We Need Fitzgerald to Get to the Bottom of It: Apr 22, 2006; Over the past few weeks, the investigation into the leak of CIA secrets on Iraq has produced disturbing new information. Court filings in the Scooter Libby case have connected both President Bush and Vice President Cheney with an effort to selectively disclose classified and highly flawed intelligence to the media in order to discredit people who were asking legitimate questions about the Iraq invasion. The White House even admitted that President Bush himself authorized the disclosure.
We Need an Economy that Works for Everyone: Mar 27, 2006; "We've moved to a star system." --Treasury Secretary John Snow explaining why CEO pay skyrockets while workers' wages stagnate in The Wall Street Journal 3/20/06
A National Disgrace: Mar 9, 2006; Where I come from, what matters the most isn't how much you have, it's how hard you're willing to work. Work gives pride, dignity, and hope to our lives and our communities.
