Sign my petition – tell Congress to REJECT the Manchin dirty side deal that would make it easier for the fossil fuel industry to pollute the environment and destroy our planet.

We have got to make it clear to the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of our planet. Friends - In a major speech I recently expressed my strong opposition to the so-called Manchin "side deal" that the fossil fuel industry is pushing to make…

I'm writing to ask if you can take a few minutes to read my most recent op-ed in the Guardian, and then contribute $2.70 to show you're ready to fight for a government that works for ALL of us.

This is unsustainable. Friends - If we are going to be successful in building the movement we need to transform our country, we need to have the courage to take a hard look at the reality of America today and the power of the ruling class over our economic, political and media life. I hope you’l…

Don't believe this for a second

I am writing to discuss the reconciliation bill that was passed by the Senate on Sunday, and to ask you to join me in calling for bold legislation that adequately addresses the needs of the working class of this country. Please add your name to my petition today. Thanks. - B

This was an important step forward, but it is not nearly enough to address the many crises we face in this country. Sisters and Brothers - Let me be honest with you in saying that I have very ambivalent feelings about the reconciliation bill that was passed in the Senate on Sunday, and which I v…

I am writing to ask you to read my most recent op-ed in the Guardian, and then join our efforts to create a government that works for ALL of us, not just large corporations.

We must do this in a way that benefits all of our society, not just a handful of wealthy, profitable and powerful corporations. Dear Friends: If you need another reason as to why the vast majority of Americans are disgusted with the status quo, corporate dominated politics of today, here it is. …

The Democratic Party cannot continue to ignore the needs of the working class of our country and expect to retain majority control in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. Dear Friends - If Democrats are going to have any hope of defending their majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in this yea…

Yes. The time has come to expand, not cut, Social Security. Add your name if you agree.

A great nation is judged by its compassion and how it treats the most vulnerable among us. Sisters and Brothers - I want to tell you why, as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, I recently held a hearing on Social Security. We take it for granted now but Social Security is one of the most po…

I am writing to ask you to add your name to say you support legalizing marijuana. It is time to end the disastrous War on Drugs, and expunge the records of those with marijuana convictions. Please join me in calling for marijuana legalization. Thanks. - B

I think we can all agree that the so-called War on Drugs has been a complete disaster. Sisters and Brothers - We have a criminal justice system today that is not only broken — it is racist and it is unjust. Unbelievably, we have more people in jail than any other country on earth, and we have a…

From both a moral and economic perspective, the answer is pretty simple. We must grant health care as a right to all in this country. Friends - It's great to communicate with people who agree with us. It's even more important to make the case to people who don't agree with us. Here is an op-ed …

May 3, 2022 at 9:35 PM

The Supreme Court's willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade is why we need these women in Congress more than ever.

These three candidates are facing elections very soon and they need our support. Friends - As we speak, the Democratic Corporate Establishment is spending a huge amount of money trying to defeat strong, progressive women of color who are running for Congress. Given the recent news about the Supr…

Can you please make a contribution of $2.70 — or whatever you can afford — to help us continue to support worker movements across the country in their fight for better wages, better health care and the right to retire with dignity?

I'm writing to ask you to add your name in support of Medicare for All before I re-introduce legislation in the Senate. Now more than ever, we must do away with our cruel and dysfunctional health care system and join every other major country on earth in guaranteeing health care as a basic human right. Please add your name if you agree. Thanks - Bernie

The goal of a humane health care system should be to provide health care to everyone in a cost-effective way — not to make billions in profits to benefit CEOs. Friends - Health care is a human right, not a privilege. The function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all…

If we are really going to save democracy and make it relevant to people's lives, Congress must boldly address the long-neglected crises facing the working people of this country.
