What can we do today?

Hi Friend,

We’re one month away from the midterm elections and want to remind you about the steps you can take to support two-party solutions and promote the voices who are fighting to limit the influence of the extremes in both major parties. 

1. VOLUNTEER 

Whether it is in person or online, you can give your time in the homestretch to support those running for office who will add their voices to our cause. 

2. CONTRIBUTE 

Give what you can to those candidates. Our allies typically don’t have built-in sources of campaign funding the way politicians who cater to the extremes do, so we can make a huge difference by stepping up with even a small donation. Your support can help impact the outcome of the most important contests. 

3. SPEAK OUT 

The extremes on both sides dominate social media and other venues where far too much of the political conversation takes place in angry, divisive tones. Online, at work, in your community, even (especially, in some cases) with your families, make the case for specific candidates with a civil tone. We can’t leave the rhetorical field to those who have every incentive to maintain the status quo. Call out bad behavior! 

4. VOTE 

Make sure you are registered and plan to cast your ballot – in person, by mail, early, or on Election Day. The clichés are all true: Every vote counts and we can’t leave democracy to those who would divide us. 

5. INVEST 

If you can afford it, please consider making a contribution to No Labels today. We are working every day to ensure that America is headed in the direction it needs to go, in 2022 and beyond. 

Thank you for being in the trenches with us as we go, fight, and win.

Five Facts on COVID Relief Fraud

As the COVID-19 pandemic struck the U.S. in early 2020, Congress quickly rushed through massive relief expenditures to keep businesses and workers afloat. In all, more than $5 billion in COVID relief would be approved, and much of it provided a critical lifeline to American families and businesses. Unfortunately, the rush to get funds out, without proper controls and relying on antiquated technology to have enabled the largest government fraud in American history.

What’s at Stake: The Landmark Voting Rights Act in Front of the Supreme Court

If a state’s population is more than one-quarter Black, but just one of seven congressional districts has a majority-Black population, is that unconstitutional? That’s what the Supreme Court is considering in Merrill v. Milligan, a case that was argued on Tuesday.

 

National Debt Hits $31 Trillion — and China Owns a Dangerous Share

The national debt first exceeded $1 trillion in 1982. It took another 26 years for it to reach $10 trillion in 2008. It then took nine years for it to reach $20 trillion in 2017. Five years later, the national debt stands at $31 trillion. And that’s just the official debt, which reflects America’s imbalance between taxing and spending up to the present moment.

OPEC and the High Cost of Energy in the United States

This summer, gas prices topped $5.00 per gallon in many states, and regularly neared $7.00 in California. In Mendocino, one station’s price at the pump hit $9.60 per gallon. It looked like those days were behind us, with the national average now just under $3.87 (still a big jump from the $2.26 average this week two years ago). But the relief might not last long.

 

Biden and DeSantis Unite for Hurricane Ian Recovery

Said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre: “There will be plenty of time, plenty of time, to discuss differences between the president and the governor, but now is not the time. When it comes to delivering and making sure that the people of Florida have what they need, especially after Hurricane Ian, we are one. We are working as one.”

Biden-Trump Rematch Gets Closer to Reality

It’s the sequel nobody’s asking for. President Biden last month told activist Al Sharpton that he will seek a second term in 2024. According to Sharpton, Biden said, “I’m going to do it again. I’m going.” Incumbent presidents almost always seek reelection, and Biden has never publicly suggested he is considering otherwise. But he would be 86 years old at the end of a second term, and polls of Democrats show him below 50% in hypothetical primary fields.
