[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: This could (finally) cost Trump the election

 

It's just a shame they didn't catch him and Bill Clinton in one of these conversations, you know they had them.

It might have knocked both Corporate Party  candidates out of the race and cleared the way for Jill Stein.

Go out and do some oppositional research and find that Trump/Clinton conversation, and I'll send you some money.

Dear MoveOn member,

Do you remember former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's fatal 47% statement—where he asserted that 47% of the population were freeloaders who didn't pay taxes?

That ignorant gaffe cost Romney the election.1

Yesterday's Washington Post release of a sickening 2005 audio recording where Donald Trump brags about sexually assaulting women is potentially much bigger and far more damaging.2

This could be Trump's Titanic—if we act fast.

Can you chip in $3 to make sure that Tump's boasts about sexually assaulting women cost Republicans the White House and the Senate?

Yes, I'll chip in.

Republicans are starting to feel the heat.

Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan revoked an invitation for Trump to attend a campaign event today in Wisconsin.3 RNC chairman Reince Priebus issued his sharpest rebuke of Trump to date.4 And a handful of Republicans members of Congress have withdrawn their endorsements of Trump.5

But Ryan, Priebus, and most Republicans running for Congress are still standing by their man. Sure, they've called his remarks "repugnant," "demeaning," and "vulgar," but most seem poised to accept an apology from Trump.6

With just 31 days to Election Day—and on the eve of the second presidential debate—Donald Trump could have just cracked open a door to a possible wave election, where voters decisively reject Trump and the candidates who support him, and take back the Senate in the process. It's up to us to wedge that door open and push on through.

Click here to chip in $3 now, so that MoveOn can launch a rapid-response campaign targeting Trump and every Senate candidate who endorsed him.

If we can raise $125,000 by midnight tomorrow, our plan is to:

  • Release rapid-response videos targeting every Republican in a tight race, highlighting Trump's heinous remarks and tying these candidates to him and his candidacy. Our Video Lab went into production on these videos last night as the story exploded.
  • Flood social media with ad buys. We will make sure key voters in each state see these ads, and that no Republican candidate can easily distance themselves from the hateful presidential campaign they've helped enable.
  • Hit the streets and the phones. Beginning this weekend—and continuing all next week—through ramped-up door knocking, campaign events, phone banking, and more—MoveOn's massive field team will make sure that news of the recordings mobilizes voters in key swing states via tens of thousands of one-on-one conversations.
  • Shine a media spotlight on Trump's disgusting comments, to keep the story going. Trump has already tried to sidestep this mess by referring to his vulgar comments as mere locker-room chatter. But on talk show after talk show, MoveOn's proven spokespeople will continue to hold his feet to the fire.

Can you chip in $3—or whatever you can afford—now, so we can swing into gear and hold accountable Trump and every Senate candidate who endorsed him?

Yes, I'll chip in to help resoundingly defeat Donald Trump and the Republican senators who continue to support him.

Thanks for all you do.

Filled my inbox with pleas from idiots to support the very nasty Hillary Clinton.

3. Do you have an idea for an action MoveOn should take in the near future?

To forget the futile effort to reform the Democratic Party, and to instead put you support behind Jill Stein. Because the Democratic Party is interested in doing none of the things that I would be excited to fight for. They are only interested in pleasing their corporate sponsors. The Green Party is the future. The Democratic Party is the past.

".... an astroturf Democratic Party front organization that works hard to sheepdog progressives back into that wretched institution."

5. Is there anything else you want to share?

We always want to be supporting great work President Obama does and encouraging him to do even better. Which of these do you think should be a higher priority right now?

1. How likely do you think it is that a Republican will win the White House?

not at all likely
very likely

2. How likely do you think it is that Republicans will retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives?

not at all likely
very likely

3. How likely do you think it is that Republicans will retain control of the U.S. Senate?

not at all likely
very likely

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: Aleppo

 

Dear Alice Jay,

I found out about your organization from friends in Brazil. How ironic that I should get an email from you that advocates I sign a petition urging the Mad Bomber of Washington DC to further his bloodthirsty campaign to destroy Syria. The Mad Bomber of course has played a huge, yet-to-be fully documented role in the destruction of Brazilian democracy (see for example http://williamengdahl.com/englishNEO24Sep2016.php)

You actually propose that the route to peace in Syria is to let the criminal Obama regime have their way there, and for the elected government and its allies to step down?  Calling for a "no fly zone" - that is, to deny Syria refrain from exercising its sovereign rights, is an act of war.  The Mad Bomber wishes to turn Syria into another Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Yemen, and your good-hearted but soft headed people are demand that he have the right to do this?  Are you a CIA front organization, or something? You need to remove that campaign right away, or I will oppose you anywhere and everywhere. In the mean time, if I launch a campaign, "Obama, get the fuck out of Syria" will you push it to the top? You should, but I bet you won't.

Shame on you for falling for the "humanitarian intervention lie."  But if you don't respond to the concerns I've raised here, damn you.

2016-10-06 1:59 GMT-04:00 Alice Jay - Avaaz <avaaz@avaaz.org>:

Peste 100 de copii au fost uciși în Alep în ultimele câteva zile. Dacă are susținere globală, acest apel care îi solicită lui Obama și aliaților săi să țină piept terorii lui Putin și Assad, nu va putea fi ignorat. Adaugă-ți numele acum pentru a cere instituirea urgentă a unei zone de interdicție aeriană::

semnează acum

Dragi prieteni și prietene,

100 de copii au fost uciși în Alep în ultimele câteva zile.

Masacrul trebuie să înceteze!

Nu există o soluție simplă pentru încheierea acestui război, dar există o singură cale de a pune punct înfiorătoarelor atacuri aeriene: oameni de pretutindeni care cer instituirea unei zone de interdicție aeriană, pentru a-i proteja pe civili.

Hai să semnăm acest apel global către Obama și alți lideri, cerându-le să țină piept terorii lui Putin și Assad. Ar putea fi singura noastră șansă de a ajuta la oprirea uciderii în masă a unor copii lipsiți de apărare:

Clic aici ca să-ți adaugi numele

De ani de zile tot auzim de bombe artizanale și de atacuri chimice. Dar distrugerea din temelii a orașului Alep reprezintă trecerea la un cu totul alt nivel. Toate acordurile și regulile au fost încălcate. Un sfert de milion de oameni sunt prinși la est de Alep, cu acces aproape nul la mâncare, medicamente sau apă potabilă. 100 000 dintre ei sunt copii.

Nu există soluții viabile pentru încheierea războiului din Siria. Dar să nu facem nimic este cea mai rea dintre ele. Crearea unei zone de interdicție aeriană va presupune că o coaliție internațională poate amenința să doboare avioanele care încearcă să bombardeze Siria de nord. Aproape 70% dintre membrii Avaaz susțin această inițiativă. 8% se opun. Ezitarea în privința utilizării forței pentru a proteja oamenii este înțeleaptă și justificată. Dar să ne imaginăm că sub bombardament s-ar afla copiii noștri: la ce fel de ajutor ne-am aștepta din partea lumii întregi?

Cu toții ne dorim o încetare a focului pe termen lung și soluții negociate pe căi politice. Dar orice tentativă de acest fel a eșuat până în acest moment. Ce se întâmplă în Alep arată că orice soluție trebuie să înceapă cu protejarea civililor. O zonă de interdicție aeriană, bine făcută, ar putea să nu pericliteze nicio viață, și va salva o mulțime. Iar negocierile autentice pentru pace vor fi chiar mai plauzibile dacă liderul Siriei, Assad, și Rusia vor vedea că cetățenii de pretutindeni iau această problemă în serios.

Haideți să-i spunem lui Obama și tuturor liderilor noștri că nu mai pot reacționa la acest măcel doar cu vorbe. Că dacă nu fac nimic, sunt complici. Viețile acestor familii atârnă de un fir de ață. Au nevoie ca noi să spunem răspicat ce așteptăm de la ei, acum!

Clic aici ca să-ți adaugi numele

Mișcarea noastră s-a opus acțiunilor militare de multe ori. Prima noastră campanie se opunea războiului din Irak și am militat împotriva intervențiilor, de cele mai multe ori cinice, ale Statelor Unite în Orientul Mijlociu. Dar 400 000 de oameni au murit în Siria. Este o pată pe conștiința întregii umanități. O zonă de interdicție aeriană este singurul lucru de bun-simț de făcut în această situație înfiorătoare. Și nu se poate întâmpla fără implicarea Statelor Unite. Hai să ne adunăm și să-i cerem ferm lui Obama și altora să salveze copiii și familiile din Alep.

Încrezători și hotărâți, semnează:

Alice, Mais, Ricken, Nick, Mohammad, Marigona și întreaga echipă Avaaz
