If we let Rove buy these four states, the Republicans WILL take over the Senate.

Friend -- Terrifying: Politico just reported that TOMORROW, Karl Rove is launching his “largest TV offensive of the midterm cycle” -- a four state, $10 million barrage focused purely on flipping control of the Senate.

There is no sugar coating it: If we let Rove buy these four states, the Republicans WILL take over the Senate. And then they’ll repeal Obamacare, ban abortion rights, and completely end President Obama’s agenda.

That’s why we’re launching the Rove Response Fund. This is the most important response plan we have launched yet -- if we can’t neutralize Rove’s attacks, our chances to stop a Senate takeover will be completely eliminated. 

Will you urgently step up? We need 10,000 Democrats on board by Friday to fully fund our plan.

Deadline: 96 hours

EXPRESS DONATE: $25.46 (Today's Average Gift)

EXPRESS DONATE: $50

EXPRESS DONATE: $75

EXPRESS DONATE: $100

EXPRESS DONATE: $150

Or donate another amount.


Everyone is watching to see if Democrats can answer an attack this enormous, or if we’ll throw in the towel on the Senate. Supporters like you have stepped up to answer every single attack that Republicans have waged so far -- but this is the most important test we have faced yet. 

This massive attack has the power to permanently swing the Senate battle to the Republicans if we can’t neutralize it. We need you on board, or we’ll lose the Senate.

Please pitch in to the Rove Response Fund to STOP a Republican takeover.

Thanks for your support,

Video Documentation Reveals Commercial Aircraft Spraying Chemtrails To Change Climate


by Harold Saive

In 1990 the Department of Defense published a Chemtrails” manual for pilot training at the USAF Academy..
In the mid-1990′s unmarked military aircraft were observed spraying aerosols from ports located in the wings and around the exhaust of the jet engines.
In recent years, civilian aircraft are increasingly contracted to secretly spray aerosols through ports located near the engines and airframe. This video provides a well documented example of commercial aircraft spraying chemtrails over Gainsville and North Florida involving AIRTRAN airways.
IPCC scientists also admit CO2 from aircraft will grow 3% per year but make no recommendation about using alternative forms of travel.
While not admitting that aircraft are spraying tons of aerosols into the atmosphere these same scientists say that contrails and artificial clouds have a profound effect on the climate and tend to warm global surface temperatures.
Ask yourself:
“If global warming is real, why are these aircraft secretly spraying aerosols that are known by UN/IPCC scientists, to warm the climate?”

United States Senate will vote this summer on an amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon.

If you missed it, the United States Senate will vote this summer on an amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon.

Nobody has done more than Public Citizen over the past four years to build up to this moment.

But we have some serious work to do so that this upcoming vote is a major step closer to the amendment required to rescue our democracy from billionaires and Big Business.

In about an hour, Public Citizen’s board of directors will be sitting down for its semi-annual meeting. This is where we formalize our policy and spending priorities for the next six months.

And we’re looking very closely at the response to the series of emails I’ve sent this week asking our supporters to chip in right now and show us that we can afford to push very aggressively.

What we’ve got by the time the board breaks for lunch at noon today will inform the deliberations about our amendment campaign this afternoon.


Contribute by noon today if you want to help make sure Public Citizen can continue leading the charge to defend our democracy from the likes of Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers.

Sincerely,

Robert Weismann,
    President of Public Citizen

Update from Public Citizen

Here are some rather famous words:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Public Citizen and "We the People" vs. the Koch Brothers

Here are some rather famous words:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

That, of course, is the Preamble to the United States Constitution.

Notice how it starts with “We the People” not “They the Plutocrats”?

Yet the Koch Brothers and other plutocratic forces are feverishly attempting to undermine our democracy under cover of supposed constitutional rights afforded them by severely misguided U.S. Supreme Court rulings like Citizens United and McCutcheon.

That’s where you come in.

As part of Public Citizen, you’ve helped build the momentum for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon.

And now the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on just such an amendment later this term.

Considering how many people questioned whether an amendment was possible when we first launched the campaign to win one just four years ago, this is a major milestone and a moment we simply must capitalize on fully.


Here’s what we have to do in the weeks and months ahead:
  • Massively scale up our nationwide grassroots mobilization, which has already seen 16 states, 550 cities and towns, and 150 members of Congress join us in calling for an amendment.
  • Organize many more local and national groups to join the 120-plus that are already allied with us in solving the problem of money in politics and in connecting that problem to other issues that impact people’s lives.
  • Intensify our lobbying work here in Washington, D.C., so that the American people know which senators are with them and which senators are with the dark money.
  • Turn up our media outreach so that the public demand for an amendment gets even more attention than it already has.
The latest poll shows that 8 out of 10 Americans oppose Citizens United.

We know the American people want these anti-democratic Supreme Court rulings overturned.

We know we have an opportunity in the Senate that we haven’t seen in a generation.

And we know what the next steps are.

So we — you, me, and Public Citizen — have to do the hard work to go from “where there’s a will” to “there’s a way.”

The Koch Brothers and their ilk do not have a lot of people in their corner. They do, though, have quite a lot of money in their virtually bottomless pockets.

We have the people power to win no matter how much the Koch Brothers spend. But we need some baseline level of financial stability to activate that people power.

Can you chip in $5 or more right now to help push our defense of democracy forward — at this moment four years in the making?

Public Citizen’s board of directors is meeting in two days to formalize this organization’s programmatic and budgetary plans for the next six months.

My board is ready to ramp up our constitutional amendment campaign, but it needs to see that Public Citizen’s supporters are resolutely behind us.

Please remember, Public Citizen — to protect our unimpeachable credibility when it comes to holding corporations and the government accountable — does not accept funding from Big Business or Uncle Sam.

When we win, it’s because you give us the strength to keep fighting.

Show our board of directors that you want Public Citizen to be as aggressive as it possibly can be at this critical point in our campaign to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon.

Thank you so much for standing with us.

Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
