You can be damned sure this isn't going to stop:

Diane -- I want to make one thing absolutely clear: We're up against a whole lot more than just opposition in Congress. We're up against interest groups with money to burn -- organizations willing to drop every last penny they have to stop President Obama's agenda in its tracks. We're already seeing it on gun violence, and immigration reform -- they're going to spend millions to throw a wrench in the works of progress. You can be damned sure that this is not going to stop. Organizing for Action is going to shift the balance of power in Washington back to real people. People like you have shown over and over again that no amount of spending can stop millions of Americans calling for change. It's going to take each of us rolling up our sleeves, getting to work, and chipping in what we can when we can. We have our first fundraising deadline this weekend. Donate $5 or more right now to become a founding member of this organization: https://donate.barackobama.com/First-Deadline This is going to be fun. If we do this right, the other side won't know what hit 'em. Messina Jim Messina Chair Organizing for Action

What some senators tried to do to climate protections:

Diane -- You've been on the front lines, fighting to protect our environment -- thanks for standing with President Obama. Right now, we have a real chance to make progress in the effort to combat climate change, but we're up against some pretty powerful special interests. It's time for you to step up again and join the team fighting back. Over the weekend, the Senate voted on a series of amendments to the budget. With narrow margins of victory, they rejected an effort to roll back protections from mercury and other forms of toxic air pollution, and blocked an attempt to stop the EPA from limiting the carbon pollution that causes climate change. That's good news -- but those slim margins of victory show we have our work cut out for us if we're going to make progress on combating climate change. In the next few months, Organizing for Action is going to be taking some bold steps forward to fight climate change. We'll be doing everything we can with the grassroots network and resources at our disposal to keep the pressure on legislators to do the right thing for the environment. But we need you with us. Add your name today and say you're in to combat climate change: http://my.barackobama.com/Fight-for-the-Environment Thanks. I'm glad to have you on our side.

Big update on universal background checks

Diane -- Something big happened in the Senate this week: The Judiciary Committee voted to move forward on a bill that would make universal background checks the law for all gun sales. That's hugely important for one simple reason: If Congress goes on to pass this bill, fewer dangerous people will be able to obtain guns. Period. It should be a no-brainer. This is something that 92 percent of Americans -- and a whopping 74 percent of NRA members -- support. So let's get this done. We're going to need to keep the pressure on our elected officials by raising our voices together and saying "It's time." Add your name and say that you're not going to let Congress drag their heels on this one: http://my.barackobama.com/Fight-to-Reduce-Gun-Violence Thanks for taking a stand today. If and when President Obama signs this bill into law, you'll be able to say you helped make it happen. Jon Jon Carson Executive Director Organizing for Action P.S. -- There's another simple thing you can do right now to show the overwhelming support for universal background checks: Take this sign and put it somewhere folks will see it -- in your window, on your desk, or maybe upload it as your Facebook profile picture. Get the conversation started today. ---------------- Let's finish what we started. Chip in $25 or more to Organizing for Action, the grassroots movement that will get the job done.

Rep. Wittman will notice this

Diane -- Last week, devastating budget cuts went into effect because Congress failed to compromise -- with some Republicans choosing to protect tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires over programs that millions of middle-class families rely on. This is frustrating, and it's at times like these when Washington feels more broken than ever. But here's what President Obama had to say: "The question is: Can the American people help persuade their members of Congress to do the right thing? And I have a lot of confidence that over time, if the American people express their displeasure about how something is working, that eventually Congress responds." So today, we're asking that Organizing for Action supporters do one easy thing to make their voice heard: Tweet at your member of Congress. Tweeting is a public way to demand a response from your legislator -- it's one of the most direct ways to get your point across. Tweet at Rep. Rob Wittman right now and demand action: http://my.barackobama.com/Tweet-at-Your-Representative Thanks, Jon Jon Carson Executive Director Organizing for Action P.S. -- Keep an eye on the hashtag #CutsWeCantAfford all day to see folks around the country speaking up, too. ---------------- Let's finish what we started.

If you're in, then say it

Diane -- Think back to President Obama's first term. Special interests spent unprecedented money to convince Congress to vote against policies the American people supported. History is already repeating itself. We're just a few months into President Obama's second term and special-interest groups are back at it, pouring money into ads to defeat common-sense gun safety measures that more than 90 percent of Americans support. Shady groups with undisclosed donors are fighting back against comprehensive immigration reform. We're not sitting back and letting them get away with it. Organizing for Action's mission is to put power back into the hands of the American people. That's why we won't accept a single dollar from corporations, PACs, foreign donors, or lobbyists. This is your movement, not theirs. So step up and own it -- add your name today and let us know you're in: http://my.barackobama.com/Organizing-for-Action Thanks, Messina Jim Messina Chair Organizing for Action ---------------- Let's finish what we started.

Forward this:

Diane -- When congressional Republicans allowed devastating spending cuts to go into effect, they chose to help millionaires and billionaires over middle-class families. Our friends at the Center for American Progress put together this powerful graphic to show exactly what that choice means. Take a look -- then forward this to your friends and family: A vast majority of Americans support President Obama's plan to reduce the deficit and help middle-class families. More than 325,000 people like you have already added their names to show their support. Are you with them?

That hour was one of the highlights of my week.  Today, more than 15 million children need a mentor. Please join me in closing this gap.  If you are already mentoring, encourage someone else to serve a child. Share your experience. And use #mentor to spread the word on Twitter.   If you are ready to start your journey as a mentor, click here.

Devastating

Diane -- Today, because congressional Republicans refused to act, devastating budget cuts known as the sequester are going into effect. They're self-inflicted wounds, and they didn't have to happen. Congress can stop all of this right away -- and pursue a balanced approach to deficit reduction. That's what the vast majority of Americans want, and yesterday, more than 100,000 Americans called on Congress to be reasonable about the budget. Add your name now: http://my.barackobama.com/Tell-the-GOP-to-Act Thanks, Jon -----Original Message----- From: Jim Messina, BarackObama.com Subject: Stand behind the President's plan, before tomorrow Friend -- Brace yourself. If congressional Republicans don't act by tomorrow, we're going to be hit by a series of devastating, automatic budget cuts called the sequester. It's a sledgehammer to the budget, our economy, and millions of Americans across the country -- and the most frustrating part? It doesn't have to happen. The majority of Americans support President Obama's balanced approach to deficit reduction -- add your name if you do, too. So far, congressional Republicans are refusing to compromise -- all because they don't want to close tax loopholes for millionaires, billionaires, vacation homes, and corporate jets. Seriously. This has very real consequences. On the chopping block are 10,000 teaching jobs, more than 70,000 kids' spots in Head Start, $35 million for local fire departments, $43 million to make sure seniors don't go hungry, and access to nutrition assistance for 600,000 women and their families. That's just a few of the things we'll lose. President Obama has put forth a balanced deficit reduction plan with smart spending cuts that protect the critical investments needed to strengthen middle-class families and our economy. We need to send a strong signal about where Americans stand on this issue. Add your name today: http://my.barackobama.com/Tell-the-GOP-to-Act Thanks, Messina Jim Messina Chair Organizing for Action P.S. -- If Congress fails to act, this fight doesn't end tomorrow. We'll need to put even more pressure on Republicans to stop these budget cuts and pass a balanced plan. Join this fight now.
