  • Mad as hell

    In response to the NRA's continued attempts to influence Republicans, our communications director, Brad Woodhouse, fired off this email to supporters.

    Friend --

    New polls show that the approval ratings for Republicans who blocked a vote on background checks for gun sales have taken a huge dive.

    And now, after spending millions of dollars to get Republicans to vote against background checks, the NRA is bankrolling radio ads to help boost their dwindling poll numbers.

    The NRA's lobbyists think if they throw enough money around, they can get Republicans to vote however they want them to and protect them afterward -- it makes me mad as hell.

    But they're forgetting that we've got 90 percent of Americans on our side -- and we're not backing down.

    Show Congress that 90 percent of Americans matter more than the gun lobby: Help us collect 200,000 signatures in support of common-sense gun safety measures like background checks.

    The NRA may have deep-pocketed donors, but -- as history has shown -- nothing can stand in the way of the American people calling for change.

    We're close to our goal of 200,000 signatures demanding change to our gun laws.

    Help us reach our goal. Add your name to the petition now:

    Your voice can make a difference.

    Thanks,

  • Learning, Sharing, and Organizing: How We’ll Continue to Win

    Last week, Democrats from across our country gathered in Minneapolis for a meeting of the Association of State Democratic Chairs. But it was so much more than just a meeting. It was an opportunity to share best practices, learn from each other on what's worked well in different states and continue to be on the cutting edge of organizing, technology and strategy. While the Republicans work on their "rebrand," we'll stick with our Democratic principles, and keep doing what works to win.

  • Democrats: Committed to working families

    Posted by
    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democratic National Committee Chair

    As a working mom, I’ve always been a big fan of “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day,” and I couldn’t wait to meet everyone’s families at the DNC headquarters this year! I have twins, Rebecca and Jake, who are about to head into high school and my baby girl, Shelby, is nine years old. With them in mind, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and advocating for policies that will help provide families the opportunity to succeed both at work and at home. This is personal for me.
