I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

Dear Michigan MoveOn members,
Thank you.
This week, thanks to your tremendous work, we saw an important victory: a government spending bill free of anti-refugee provisions.
Just a few weeks ago, this outcome seemed like a very long shot. The House of Representatives passed legislation effectively halting the refugee program, and Senate leaders pledged to take up the bill as well. But MoveOn members in Michigan and around the country demanded that elected leaders choose compassion over fear, making phone calls to legislators, holding rallies and vigils, signing countless petitions, and, in many communities, welcoming refugees into their homes for Thanksgiving.
Believe me: your voices were heard in Washington.
And you are not alone. This is an issue close to my heart. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to visit the largest Syrian refugee camp in Jordan. The refugees I spoke with had lost hope and felt they had no future. Their greatest wish is to live in peace with their families—the exact same thing you and I want for our own families.
Like many of you, I feel that America could and should do more to help. That's why after that trip, I wrote a letter to President Obama, urging him to welcome at least 100,000 refugees in the coming years, particularly persecuted religious minorities from Syria and Iraq. Like you, I was deeply saddened by the terrorist attacks in Paris. We all grieved together alongside the people of France and denounced the brutal attacks on innocent civilians. Unfortunately, for many people, the feelings of sadness turned into a misplaced fear of families fleeing from the very same kind of violence in the Middle East.
As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I am committed to ensuring that our nation is safe from all threats at home and abroad. But as MoveOn members know, and some in Washington forgot, refugees entering the United States undergo some of the most rigorous vetting processes applied to any travelers entering our country. The families who move through our vetting process are exactly the people described by the poem on the Statue of Liberty: " ... your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." They're people who need our help.
In recent weeks, I've been working to remind my Senate colleagues of the humanity of these refugee families. Thank goodness I had your help. You spoke out, and our nation is stronger as a result.
So, once again, a heartfelt thank you. Let's celebrate this victory and recommit ourselves to upholding the values that make our country great. Let's keep the doors of America open for those fleeing terror and persecution.
With gratitude,
Senator Gary Peters

Dear MoveOn member,
Last week, a Muslim store owner in New York was beaten by a man yelling, “I kill Muslims!” A pig’s head was left outside a Muslim community center in Philadelphia. And in California, a mosque was set on fire while people prayed inside, and a woman threw hot coffee on Muslims praying in a park.1
And that’s just a partial list of the anti-Muslim hate crimes sweeping the country.
The only way to stop it is for all of us who reject hate to speak out. Loudly.
That's why we’re helping jumpstart a nationwide campaign called "Hate Has No Business Here." We're organizing small-business owners, community centers, libraries, schools, town halls, places of worship, and others to stand up against Islamophobia.
Will you chip in $3 and help stand up against anti-Muslim hate crimes?
Yes, I'll chip in.
The wave of Islamophobia since the Paris attacks is terrifying, and the FBI was reporting a disturbing rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes even before Paris.
And with Republican presidential candidates whipping up fear, things could get out of control fast.
That’s why we were so inspired by a couple of small-business owners in Minnesota who launched a nationwide campaign with a simple gesture. They put a sign in their window saying, "Hate has no business here."
Now we’re teaming up with them and the Main Street Alliance to get these signs posted in businesses all over America.
Your donations will allow us to distribute thousands of posters—and expand the campaign to public spaces across America. We'll collect stories and photos and drive media coverage to push back against the stories of hate and violence.
Will you chip in $3—and help stand up against anti-Muslim hate crimes?
Thanks for all you do.
–Anna, Erica, Robert, Jo, and the rest of the team
