Now let me tell you why I?m asking today: > > To win an election, what you can get done early matters -- a lot. I have some experience with this: President Obama and I were elected in 2008 and 2012 because we were able to organize early and out-hustle the other side. We need to do the same in 2016. > > It starts with the candidates -- and the DSCC has recruited some top-rate folks who are committed to helping the middle class. But now they need your support to build campaigns that win everywhere from New Hampshire to Washington State. > > So that?s why I?m asking now. Will you pitch in to help the DSCC elect leaders who will work for all Americans? Your gift before the end of the year will help us do more when it counts. > > We can't let the GOP destroy the Affordable Care Act, limit women?s health choices, deny climate change, demonize immigrants and refugees, do nothing about gun violence, raise taxes on the middle class -- I could go on. That's what they try to do every day and with virtually every vote. And exactly what they will do if they win the White House and Senate next November. > > So we need to fight with everything we?ve got. We need real leaders -- Democratic leaders -- in the Senate. And the DSCC can get them there -- but only with your help. > > Will you pitch in now to make it happen, John? > > If you?ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: > > Pitch in $150 IMMEDIATELY >> > > Pitch in $200 IMMEDIATELY >> > > Pitch in $250 IMMEDIATELY >> > > Pitch in $500 IMMEDIATELY >> > > Pitch in $700 IMMEDIATELY >> > > Or donate another amount. > > Thank you, > Joe Biden > > > > > > > > > Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee > P.O.

This agreement will help grow our economy, strengthen our families, and bolster our security. While not perfect, the agreement shows what we can accomplish when we govern by consensus instead of by crisis. > > We deeply appreciate your support over the last few weeks and months. Thank you for all you?ve done to keep our country on a path of progress. > > John Bisognano > The White House | Office of Public Engagement > > > > > THE WHITE HOUSE > Office of the Vice President > > FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > December 18, 2015 > > Statement by Vice President Biden on the Budget Deal > > Over the last seven years, our economy has gone from crisis to recovery to the cusp of resurgence. The budget and tax agreement that Congress negotiated this week will help make it a permanent resurgence. Neither side got everything it wanted, and there is more we will continue to fight for. But this agreement reverses self-inflicted wounds like sequestration, averts another unnecessary government shutdown, and lays a path forward to the type of governing by consensus that the American people deserve and expect. > > It makes permanent Recovery Act expansions of tax credits that boost incomes for millions of working and middle-class families, helping them care for their children and pay for college. It extends tax credits that will continue an American-led clean energy transformation that?s unleashing new industries and creating tens of thousands of good-paying American jobs. It will help hundreds of thousands of people looking for work know where the jobs are, what training is needed, where to get trained, and where to find the jobs. > > This agreement marks the largest investment in the NIH in a decade?$32 billion?that will mean more clinical trials for patients and more research grants for next-generation scientists. It will help put us closer to curing cancer -- turning deadly diseases into manageable chronic conditions ? and on the verge of countless other life-saving and life-changing discoveries. > > The agreement invests a record $480 million in programs under the Violence Against Women Act. It invests $45 million toward eliminating the backlog of rape kits, so tens of thousands of rape and sexual assault victims will no longer have to wait years before their rape kits are tested --allowing them to find closure and bring their perpetrators to justice. The budget also provides an increase of $3.75 million to the National Domestic Violence Hotline so fewer women and men remain prisoners in their own homes. > > And as we were reminded in the summer of 2014 when 50,000 unaccompanied children risked their lives to escape crime, corruption, violence and poverty to find their way to our southwestern border?the security and prosperity of Central America are inextricably linked with our own. At the President?s request, I?ve traveled to the region and have made it clear with the leaders of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras that the United States stands ready to support their efforts to reverse endemic violence and poverty, crack down on criminal networks, and strengthen good governance and the rule of law. As those leaders have responded, this decision by Congress to invest $750 million in Central America demonstrates that we honor our commitments and believe in a future where the Western Hemisphere is middle class, democratic, and secure. > > The agreement is not perfect, but it will help grow our economy, bolster our security, and it reflects governing by consensus, not the governing by crisis we?ve seen too often of late. > > > This email was sent to jac07 at dcn.org. > Unsubscribe | Privacy Policy > Please do not reply to this email.

After 48 years, the store will be closing before New Year?s Day, as the lease ends on Dec. 31. Take the opportunity this week to stop by the store and say farewell to the family and employees there. His family has been faithfully Democratic. Dick Luna?s oldest brother, from Jemez Springs Pueblo, has served as the elected (D) Lieutenant Governor of the State of New Mexico.
