I am sincerely asking you to add your name to call on Congress to pass voting rights legislation

Cowardly politicians who can only win elections by suppressing the vote need to get out of politics and find a new job. Friends - The Republican Party today is not only an increasingly reactionary party focusing on tax breaks for billionaires, denying the reality of climate change and throwing p…

The top 1% is evading over $266 billion in federal taxes each year.

We need a progressive tax system based on the ability to pay, not a regressive tax system that rewards the wealthy and the well-connected. Dear Friends - We are in the midst of a massive struggle to transform the priorities of the federal government. And, slowly but surely, step-by-step, we are …

Amazon

Before the vote to form a union ends on March 29, we must show Jeff Bezos that we stand with Amazon warehouse workers in Alabama. Friends - I'm going to Alabama on Friday to stand with the Amazon workers there who are trying to form a union. If they succeed, it will be a huge step forward for wo…

I am writing to ask you to add your name to call on Congress to lower prescription drug costs. Americans pay by far the highest prices in the world. It's time to end the greed of the drug companies. Please add your name if you agree. - B

Our job now is to end the incredible corruption and greed in the pharmaceutical industry. Dear friends, The time is long overdue for Congress to take on the powerful special interests that dominate the economic and political life of this country. And to be honest with you, there is no more power…

I am humbly asking you to tell Congress to have the courage to stand up to the most powerful people in this country and address the absurd levels of income and wealth inequality. Please add your name. Thanks. - B

We will be taking on some of the most powerful and well-financed entities in the country. Dear friends, The United States cannot prosper and remain a vigorous democracy when so few have so much and so many have so little. While many of my congressional colleagues choose to ignore it, the issue o…

Respectfully asking for a chance to explain

When it became clear Bernie supporters were going to win party elections, the political establishment in Nevada transferred $450,000 out of their bank account. Friends - In just a moment, we are going to ask you to make a contribution to the Nevada Democratic Party. Please give us a chance to ex…

Please sign my petition – tell Congress to take bold action to fight the climate crisis

It is past time for the United States to treat climate change like what it is: an emergency that is an existential threat to humanity that requires an urgent, massive response. Friends - In Texas today, following an unprecedented winter storm, millions of people are without drinking water due to…

The minimum wage is $8.75 in West Virginia

Let us keep our focus on what is important during the fight to raise the minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour. Friends - Trump, and his narcissism and authoritarianism, are out of the White House. The impeachment trial, which garnered 57 votes to convict, is over. Now, if we're going t…

$2,000 payments

It is disappointing that any Democrat would think that a person making $52,000 a year is too rich to get the full benefits. Friends - Democrats promised the American people that if we won both races in Georgia and took control of the Senate, we were going to pass a very popular COVID relief bill…

I am writing to ask if you would make a $2.70 contribution to help us organize to pass a pair of reconciliation bills that will transform this country.

Over the course of the next few months — through a process known as reconciliation — we have the chance to do more for working people in this country than I’ve done since the day I was first sworn in back in 1991. Friends - In the next several months, with your help, we have the opportunity to m…

Sign my petition: tell Congress you support raising the minimum wage to a living wage - $15 an hour - and that you want action without delay.

Some politicians still say raising the minimum wage to a living wage, $15 an hour, is “too radical.” Friends - I have worked to raise the minimum wage from almost my first day in Congress. In 1993, I introduced a bill, the Livable Wage Act, that would have raised the minimum wage to $5.50 an h…

I am writing to ask you to sign my petition – tell every member of the Democratic Caucus that now is not the time for business as usual. We must put forth a bold progressive agenda to help working people. Please add your name if you agree. - B

We have got to be bold in terms of jobs, health care, nutrition, education, racial justice, immigration, criminal justice reform, housing, climate change, and many other important issues. Friends - Yesterday, millions of us breathed a deep sigh of relief. Donald Trump is no longer president. Tha…

I am respectfully asking you to sign my petition if you agree we must use the budget reconciliation process to help Americans survive the COVID crisis and rebuild America’s crumbling economy and working class.

Now is the time to get our priorities right, and that starts with getting the American people the help they desperately need right now. Friends - In just a few days, Democrats will control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. And, in this unprecedented moment, the new …

I am respectfully asking you to sign my petition – we must remove Donald Trump from office AND immediately begin to address the needs of working people in this country. Add your name if you agree. - Bernie

We must not lose sight of the tremendous pain and desperation felt by working people across the country... Friends - It goes without saying that Donald Trump will go down in history as the worst and most dangerous president ever. Yes, the vice president and cabinet members must invoke the 25th …

$2,000 per person

Please join me in urging Mitch McConnell to bring this bill to a vote. Friends - Last night, the House of Representatives, with a two-thirds majority of 275 to 134, voted in a bi-partisan way to increase the direct payments going to working families from $600 per adult to $2,000 per adult. The…

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse

Not even close to good enough

This bill was not even close to good enough, and my fear is that by reaching this agreement we are setting the stage for a return to austerity politics now that Joe Biden is set to take office. Friends - Late last night, Congress passed a $908 billion COVID relief bill that will extend unemploym…

comical

This is not a radical idea. Friends - Yesterday afternoon, I asked my colleagues in the Senate to unanimously agree to pass my legislation guaranteeing an emergency payment of $1,200 to every working class American and $500 to each of their children. Republican Senator Ron Johnson objected, cit…

Warnock and Ossoff need a LOT of donations today

They're counting on lots of people making small donations to have the resources required to win this runoff. Friends - As we're sure you're aware, the special election in Georgia on January 5 is not just about electing two new and excellent U.S. senators. It's even more important than that. It…

Please add your name to tell Democratic leadership to advance a bold progressive agenda that puts working people first.

Democrats' job during the first 100 days of the Biden administration is to make it absolutely clear that they are on the side of the working class. Friends - For months now, many of us have been focused on two vitally important issues. First, we had to do everything we could to defeat Donald Tru…

Sign my petition: tell Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate to join with Democrats and take action that will help the American people care for their families and stop the spread of a virus that threatens to spiral totally out of control.

This is precisely the moment we should be making it easier for people to care for their families and stop the spread of the virus. It is the right thing to do morally and it is the right thing to do economically. Friends - Here we are, in the midst of the worst public health and economic crisis …
