Diane, are you with me on this?

Diane -- I voted just a couple weeks ago in the Chicago mayoral election -- and while mailing my ballot was easy, there are still laws designed to make it hard for people to vote. Voting is the cornerstone of our country's values, and we've got to do everything in our power to protect it, Diane. Change depends on our actions and our attitudes, so we cannot afford to be complacent -- not when something as important as the future of our country is on the line. If you're committed to protecting the right to vote, then add your name next to mine to stand up for your right to be heard: http://my.democrats.org/Protect-Voting-Rights Thanks for this. Barack Obama

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day - April 23, 2015

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Join us on Thursday, April 23 Remember to tell your story by using social media and the #DaughtersandSons hashtag. Dear Friends, We want you to take OUR daughters and sons to work on Thursday, April 23. Each year, an estimated 3.5 million employers participate in Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. If just a small portion of these employers open their doors to youth in their communities, that could generate hands-on, career exploration experiences for many young people throughout the country who would not otherwise have this opportunity. President Obama announced that the White House and federal agencies are celebrating Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This is a joint effort between the White House Council on Women and Girls and My Brother's Keeper Initiative to help young people better understand the connection between what they learn in the classroom and future careers.   Do any of the following descriptions apply to you? Small business owner Teacher Employee of a great company Work in public service Volunteer If so, consider this a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a child's future.  We encourage you to join the White House in welcoming youth beyond the children of your own employees to visit your place of work on this day.  Invite them to spend the day with you.  Show them what you do every day – and tell them that, with hard work and determination, they can do it, too.  ABC NEWS Kids Set to Take Over the White House for a Day (Sort of) "Companies like Johnson & Johnson already do this, and the mayors of Philadelphia and Sacramento are joining us this year," Obama said. "See if your employer will join us, too. 'Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day' is already a special day for millions of kids across the country. Together, we can help more kids participate – so they, too, can dream bigger dreams about their futures."

Stories to share: Obamacare is a real lifesaver, and more

Diane -- You're one of the best messengers we've got in this movement. Here's some recommended reading that's easy to share. No fluff, just facts -- that's the Truth Team way. Know anyone else who can handle the truth? Forward this email to a friend -- ask them to join the Truth Team and receive updates like this. ----------- 1. Obama's claim the Affordable Care Act was a 'major reason' in preventing 50,000 patient deaths - Washington Post This number jumped out at us during the president's recent speech hailing his health-care law. Could 50,000 people have not died in hospitals because of the Affordable Care Act? That seemed rather extraordinary, even given the size of the United States. We've spent time digging around on this issue, and here are the results of our inquiry. It turns out that preventing hospital-related deaths is one of the least controversial aspects of the much-attacked law. Read more | Share on Facebook ----------- 2. A House GOP leader asked for Obamacare horror stories. Instead, she got love letters. - Vox Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House GOP conference, took to Facebook to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act by asking to hear real-life horror stories from real people. Instead she got this... Read more | Share on Facebook ----------- 3. U.S. has bold plan to stall climate change - CNN In baseball, there's a traditional comeback after a tough season: "Wait 'til next year!" For climate change "next year" is now. This year is the time and the United Nations' international climate negotiations in Paris in December are the place to secure strong global agreement to curb heat-trapping emissions. A successful climate pact will send a signal around the world that a shift to a low-carbon economy is underway. The United States has made clear that it is ready to step up to the plate on climate change. The U.S. administration on Tuesday unveiled details about itsproposal to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. This common-sense and achievable plan to decarbonize the U.S. economy will result in significant cost savings from cleaner technologies and create more American energy jobs to power our homes and businesses. This is an area where the United States needs to lead, and doing so will create a better planet for our children and a more prosperous future for our country.
