Harris-I am kamala Harris and I approve this message


Narrator-Sherrod Brown and most of the other democratic candidates are taking big money donations in this race.

Narrator- But who comes to these fundraisers? You think your regular Bob and Joe who work hard for their money can afford a 30,000 plate?

Narrator- Lets Show Sherrod Brown that we do not approve of Big Money in our races by voting for Kamala Harris!

While I have respect for Senator Baldwin, there is one thing disapointing about her. Recently, in the last few days, she missed several major Senate votes and as a result she is about to have the worst vote attendance and thus she is missing several opportunities to take position on important issues that are facing our nation. But thanks to my experience and proven leadership, we can turn this country around, make this economy fair for all Americans, including poor people, restore peace in the world thanks to a smart foreign policy. That's why I hope you'll follow me.

We can't afford to let immigrants in the throes of poverty and violence. And yet, there are still immigrants waiting in line for too long, including here in Texas, a state that is in the front line of the illegal immigration issue. And yet my colleague Sherrod Brown voted the Secure Fence Act of 2006 that authorized the construction of an additional 700 miles of double-layered fencing between the U.S and Mexico, thus making it more difficult for immigrants to earn American citizenship.

[Crowd boos]

If I'm president, we will give amnesty to all immigrants, including illegal immigrants, which will accelerate our economy by bringing more workforce and more workers and give immigrants across this nation a fair chance to live the American Dream here on the land of opportunity.

Tim Kaine's Campaign Ad

In an effort to attract progressive voters, Tim Kaine's presidential campaign broadcasts an ad attacking Sherrod Brown on his past support to coal and on his support to repealing Glass Steagall in order to describe him as an unelectable candidate.

The ad titled « Real Progressive » airs in all the 50 states.

« Real Progressive » ad narration


Narrator : Here is why Sherrod Brown can't lead us our party to victory. He is not a real progressive. He's unelectable. He just can't win.

As the 2016 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, he lost along with Elizabeth Warren in a landslide. Despite being from Ohio, the most crucial battleground state that has always voted for the winner of every presidential election since 1964, Senator Brown has not even been able to deliver his own home state of Ohio to Senator Warren since Marco Rubio has narrowly won Ohio in 2016.



How can Sherrod Brown bring progressives together if he opposed the Carbon Emissions Cap and Trade Plan of 2008 even though coal is extremely polluting?


How can Sherrod Brown bring progressives together if he supported the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 that abolished Glass-Steagall, thus deregulating big banks, allowing them to dominate and causing the worst financial recession since the Great Depression in 2008?



This is not progressive at all. With Sherrod Brown as the nominee, President Rubio will get a second term.


Unlike Sherrod Brown, Tim Kaine will fight to establish a carbon tax for the sake of a clean environment and of the promotion of the development of renewable energies. Tim Kaine will fight to restore Glass-Steagall in order to restore integrity in our financial system and to make it fair for all Americans of all classes.

Tim Kaine, the real progressive who can defend progressive values and ensure our success in our road to the White House.

Tim Kaine : I'm Tim Kaine and I approve this message.

Breaking News

The Congress approves the Path to Victory and Peace Act

On August 19, the Senate unanimously approves the Path to Victory and Peace Act proposed by President Rubio. The House did the same on August 26. This bill is signed into law by President Rubio, thus reducing the U.S. aid to Pakistan from 800 million dollars a year to 100 million dollars in economic and military aid and sales of military equipment due to Pakistan's sponsoring of terrorist groups in the region and also due to Pakistan's decision to arrest Shakil Afridi who made a great contribution in assisting U.S. efforts to find and kill Bin Laden. As a result, India accepted to deploy 80 000 Indian ground troops in Afghanistan in order to fight radical Islamic terrorism there, including ISIS, Al Qaida and the Taliban. President Rubio described the adoption of this law as a « great step for victory against terrorism as well as for peace, stability and freedom in Afghanistan since the combination of the military strengths of the world's first military power (the United States) and of the 4th one (India) will surely give the upper hand to the NATO allies and drastically accelerate radical Islamic terrorism's total defeat in Afghanistan and in the neighboring regions without needing to send additional troops in Afghanistan.

Increase of violence in Israel

Due to the United States' decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, riots between Israeli and Palestinian citizens triggered in Jerusalem and killed 15 people and wounded 20 others.

Shapiro attacks Rubio on net neutrality

Ben Shapiro slammed President Rubio for his opposition to net neutrality. But the President fired back by declaring that net neutrality only brings regulations that allow the government to hinder accessibility and the diversity of content, thus diminishing innovation and free market.

Tulsi Gabbard goes after President Rubio on Israel

Earlier this week, presidential hopeful canidate for the Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard came out in one of the strongest criticisms of the President she has shown yet. This time over his decision to officially accept Israel as its capital and the ensueing violence.

"The United States under the Rubio Administration has shown they are biased in favor of Israel and don't accept a pathway to peace" Gabbard said to a crowd in Concord, New Hampsire. She called for a removal of the decision to end the violence and remain a neatrul force in the final peace decision between the Israelis and Palestinians. She also attacked Benjamin Netanyahu, the right wing president of Israel saying "And there president Benjamin Netanyahu would let innocences in Palestine die then searching for a two deal state. He is also buddy buddy with this administration".

In other Gabbard News - Tulsi Gabbard continues to call on Progressives to not fall for the Tim Kaine allusion after his attacks on Senator Brown. Saying he is a "corporatist hack" and a "centrist"

Ben Shapiro Speech on Government Reform in Alexandria, Virginia on August 27th (Attendance: 12,000)

"Alexandria, I'm sure you all feel the sting of government these past few years. Mainly, you're congress. For years, they haven't worked for you, who elected them. They work for only the companies that pay them and yet they never have a competitor against them. I think we all agree when I say, by everything that's happened, it's time for some Damn Government Reformation!" Cheers Erupt "Under Rubio, were monopolies, who have harmed you, harmed the free market, got your congressmen on the payroll, disbanded?" the crowd scream "NO!" "Under Rubio, were these companies outlawed from paying congressional officials and presidential officials?" Crowd screams "NO!" yet again "Do you wonder why this happened, Alexandria? I'll tell you. Marco Rubio doesn't have the best interest of the American People at heart. Otherwise, he would've introduced a bill doing all the things I have said right now already. No. What Rubio cares about is serving is corporate masters. Rubio, you will say this is character defamation but I ask you, what have you done to say otherwise? How have you restricted these companies from getting involved in government? Oh right, you haven't.

Alexandria, Rubio will constantly lie and say he did not abandon you, but look around! As your president, I will create laws that dismantle monopolies, laws that will stop companies like Comcast or Sinopec from corrupting your campaign officials. Laws that will ensure that the government isn't owned by the corporations, but by you, The American People. Vote for me and you will find a far better American Government then ever before! God Bless you, God Bless the state of Virginia, and God Bless the United States of America, Thank you!" Shapiro Leaves, cheers erupting for the next few minutes from the crowd as the intensity softens

Pro-Net Neutrality Speech in Tallahassee, Florida (Attendance: 16,000)

"Tallahassee, A few days ago, President Marco Rubio announced his support of a repealing of Net Neutrality Laws that was put in place under Barrack Obama in 2015. He says that what this is doing will be good for the free market. He couldn't be more wrong. He said that what Obama did in 2015 halted free market enterprise on the Internet. He couldn't be more wrong. What he fails to talk about is that before the rules were enacted in 2015, there have been multiple accounts of companies such as Comcast, Verizon, and other such big names in Internet and Television throttled speeds of the internet. Introduced pay-for packages. If Marco Rubio repeals these rules, we can see the internet go from a place where ideas can be freely expressed to a place where companies will only let you see what they want you to see and throttle heavily anything they don't like. Doesn't that sound Orwellian?" The crowd gasps in horror at the thought of an Orwellian Internet

"Marco Rubio wants to do this and if he wins in 2020, he most likely will. Citizens of Tallahassee, I am saying this from deep down inside, do not allow this to happen. The internet is a beautiful thing and if Net Neutrality is repealed then we'll lose it, possibly forever." Someone asks what he is going to do about it.

"I promise, It will one of biggest concerns to create a law, around 3 pages and written in the king's english, that will keep Net Neutrality protected for the next 25-50 years. America, do not vote for the Corporate underling. Vote for someone who is ready to bring America from the brink. Vote for Change!

Marco Rubio 2020 : America First

-Presidential duties in Washington D.C.

August 29
-Flight to Garland, Texas
-Meet with voters in Garland, Texas with John Cornyn
-Counter-terrorism policy speech at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas with John Cornyn

Here we stand, at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, where ISIS committed its first terrorist attack in the United States. Since then, they committed 2 more major terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and in Orlando, killing over 60 people in total. And yet my Democratic rivals are embracing the same foreign policy that gave us such strong terrorist threat such as cuts in our security measures and in our defense budget, which made America and our allies easy targets for terrorists. But since I came in office, we made strong progress against radical Islamic terrorism. We secured our borders, we increased the FBI's counter-terrorism budget, we reinforced our security measures as well as our defense budget, which reinforced our military and our troops' readiness, we have strengthen and expanded our alliances, we armed the right groups in the Middle East through background checks, we targeted terrorists' oil refineries and we striked terrorists wherever they are. As a result, we are about to win the war against radical Islamic terrorism. As a result, we eradicated ISIS in Iraq and we are about to do the same in Syria. We killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and thanks to the adoption of the Path to Victory and Peace Act, we convinced India to deploy troops in Afghanistan in order to combat radical Islamic terrorism there. That way, with the combination of the strengths of the 1st and 4th military powers in the world, we definitely took the upper hand and we're going to totally defeat radical Islamic terrorism, including ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Taliban, in Afghanistan and in the neighboring regions. Our total victory against radical Islamic terrorism is imminent.
 
During my second term, we will keep giving these efforts in order to make sure that this victory will happen for the sake of international security, stability, freedom, democracy, justice and peace. Thank you God bless the United States of America.

Three days ago, Mr. Shapiro has once again proven himself to be ready to lie about everything and to create any falsehood in order to get elected. He said that I don't have the best interest of the American people at heart. This is totally false. I have the best interest of the American people at heart. I was raised paycheck to paycheck and thanks to the hard work of a bartender and a housekeeper, my parents succeeded in making their children better off than they were. As a husband and as the father of 4 children, I deeply have the best interest of the American people at the bottom of my heart because I want every American to have a decent and fair chance to prosper, to live free and to enjoy the American Dream.

That's why we reduced the size of government by passing the biggest tax cuts in our nation's history, which benefited for all the American people and for businesses, including small businesses, thus making America the best business-friendly environment in the world and encouraging innovation as well as job creation.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shapiro is the one who is running against the interests of the American people. He wants to increase our nation's corporate tax rate from 20 % to 24 %, which will increase the size of government, make America a harder place to do business, punish the hard work of hard-working families, kill millions of American jobs, overship American businesses overseas. In addition, Mr. Shapiro supports net neutrality, which is an anti-free market and job-killing policy that favors more government control and crony capitalism. He talks about ending the monopoly of corporations and yet he supports net neutrality that is none other than crony capitalism in favor of web giants like Facebook and Google. The better way to ensure net neutrality is to breathe more capitalism into the ISP market rather than government control. The Internet has always been one of the best models of the free market. There are low barriers to entry, back and forth communication between consumers and providers, and a rapid evolution of ideas. Through burdensome regulations and tight control like the net neutrality rule, the government only hinders accessibility and the diversity of content. Consumers should be driving the market, and we can help by encouraging innovation, incentivizing investment, and promoting the competitive environment this industry needs. That is something Mr. Shapiro opposes. That's why he's not a real champion of free market and free enterprise even though these are among the main values of a free market economy like America.

[Crowd boos and chants « Socialist Ben! »]

By pursuing our efforts to cut taxes for hard working families across the nation and for businesses, to encourage tax reform, small government, fiscal responsibility, innovation and free enterprise as well as free market and free enterprise, we will get America to full employment and America's economic prosperity will be permanent. Our nation will live one of the brightest futures we've ever known and our children will definitely be one of the most prosperous generations of Americans that ever lived.

Thank you. God bless you all and God bless America.

Quick note - Cornyn endorsed Abbott while Abbott was still on the campaign trail, so I'm not so sure he'll be so eager to endorse Rubio, he may have endorsed Amash.

Marco Rubio Campaign Ad

In an effort to attract fiscal conservatives as well as voters who selected the economy as the most important issue, President Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an ad attacking Ben Shapiro on his big government agenda favoring tax increases and net neutrality while also narrating Rubio's record on boosting job creation.

The ad titled « Job-Killing Ben » airs nationwide in all the 50 U.S. states as well as in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and all other U.S. territories.

« Job-Killing Ben » advertisement narration :


Narrator : Throughout his presidential campaign, Ben Shapiro has demonstrated over and over again that he has no idea about how to create jobs and grow this economy. He is running on the wrong platform. As a presidential candidate, he suggested that we should raise America's corporate tax rate from 20 % to 24 %, which will make America a harder place to do business, kill millions of American jobs, ship American businesses overseas and punish the hard work of hard working families.



Ben Shapiro on the campaign trail : I recommend raising the corporate tax rate to 24 %.


Narrator : But we all know that one the reasons why America lived its slowest economic progress in history under the Obama Administration and why American jobs overshipped overseas is because the United States had the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, which was 40 %. The American people does can't afford it to happen again.

After opposing net neutrality, Ben Shapiro flip-flopped on that issue and he now supports net neutrality.

Ben Shapiro on the campaign trail in 2019 : It will be one of my biggest concerns to create a law that will keep net neutrality.


But this is a big government rule that imposes burdensome job-killing regulations and tight control that only favors crony capitalism and allows the government to hinder accessibility and the diversity of content. The better way to ensure net neutrality is to breathe more capitalism into the ISP market rather than government control. Consumers should be driving the market, and we can help by encouraging innovation, incentivizing investment, and promoting the competitive environment this industry needs.
 

That is something Shapiro does not understand. No wonder that he is not a real champion of free enterprise and free market. He is not a real conservative.


He is not ready to be president. He has never run a business, he has never run a state and he has never been in a committee specialized in economic and business issues.

Ben Shapiro wrong for the economy, wrong for businesses, wrong for Internet freedom and wrong for America.


Meanwhile, President Marco Rubio has demonstrated strong leadership in growing the economy and creating jobs. He is a committed fiscal conservative. Thanks to his experience as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, he is the only one in this race who can be trusted to handle economic issues. No wonder that he is endorsed by Americans For Prosperity, by Club For Growth, by The Economist, etc.


As President, Marco Rubio reduced government spending as well as the size of government, adopted the biggest tax cuts in our nation's history, thus cuting taxes for all Americans, including the middle class, and for all businesses, including small businesses.


He reduced our corporate tax rate from 40 % to 20 %, thus making our country the best place in the world to do business, making our trade deals fair for American workers and making America more competitive in the world economy, which has also been done through lower tariffs.



By promoting oil drilling through the doubling of permits and liscenses on federal lands and through the approval of the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, of the Dakota Access pipeline and of the Alaska-Texas pipeline, President Rubio will lead America to energy independence, thus helping our nation to take advantage of all of its sources of energy.



Thanks to all this leadership, our economy is recovering and will get to full employment and full prosperity for all.


So here is the choice for this election : untested leadership and risky ideas or proven leadership.


Marco Rubio : I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

-Debate preparations

[NewYorkExpress]

OOC: I'm having computer issues so... Senator Brown is forced to suspend his campaign at this time. He will endorse the leader in pledged delegates after the Ohio Primary, or the eventual nominee, whichever comes first.

Well there gotta be a In game reason.

Maybe Brown can say that he feels he need to serve his state more first.

That seems reasonable.

[GoTfan]

Tammy Baldwin continued to campaign across the country, focusing on building activist support, touting her endorsements from groups like MoveOn.Org. She also returned to campaign in her home state of Wisconsin for a day, speaking with voters face-to-face. She also spent considerable time in Iowa and New Hampshire, as she attempted to rally additional support from working class voters. Finally, she personally visited the poorer suburbs of cities in California, building her base there.

First Democratic Presidential Debate

Tammy Baldwin's debate answers

-Opening statements

I have been a fighter for the progressive cause since my earliest days in the Wisconsin Assembly. While there, I opposed don't ask, don't tell And introduced legislation legalizing same sex marriage in Wisconsin. In Congress, I was one of the people who voted against the Iraq War, and as a Senator, I have led the way on LGBT issues and have supported a single-payer system.

I swear to you, I will fight for you in the White House, not the handful at the top. We are a nation that is run by our working and middle classes, and they have been neglected for far too long!

Well for starters, we should look to make sure that our primaries are not being controlled by the DNC, because there is little doubt in my mind that the 2016 or primary was rigged.

However, the reforms made since have improved our system. Superdelegates are now restricted in what they can and can't do, we have far more debates, and the entire system has been overhauled in general. We call ourselves the Democratic Party, so let's live up to it this time around.

Well, my top donors have consistently been EMILY's List and the University of Wisconsin, and I don't believe that they're PACs. Furthermore, I was the first candidate in the race to forbid the obscenely wealthy from donating to me or the PACs supporting me.

The PACs that do support me do so through sourcing their donations for  grassroots communities. There is little wrong with PACs who do that. That said, I will endeavour to tougher our campaign finance laws. Indeed, that is one of me main policy planks.

I support a two-state solution. Both countries have a right to exist, but first, they need to end this vendetta against each other. All it is doing is harming civilians, and that does no one any favours.

Jerusalem, to propose a new solution, should be an autonomous city, which sends representatives to both the Israeli and Palestinian governments.

Absolutely not. What the President has needlessly done is strain our relationship with Pakistan to the breaking point, considering that they are not know for their healthy relationshipwith India. Both of these countries have nuclear weapons as well, and this decision has needlessly destabilized the region and is pushing us closer to an actual nuclear war.

It was a stupid decision, and we cannot allow anymore shortsighted policies when it comes to this sort of thing

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Tonight, I have made my case to you, the people of the United States of America. The middle and working classes have been ignored for too damn long, and we cannot let it continue. I am running for the American people, so I ask you to stand with me, and together, we will restore America!

First Democratic Presidential Debate

Kamala Harris' debate answers

I have seen first hand in Washington how bad the big money influence is.It disgusts me that a lobbyist can walk into a senators office and have a provision passed a day later. This problem is the root of all the other problems in our political system, and therefore we must take out big money influences for the greater good.

First Democratic Presidential Debate

Tim Kaine's debate answers

-Opening statements

Good evening. The question tonight is who has the best experience to lead this country. I proudly served as Governor of Virginia for 4 years and I'm serving in the U.S. Senate for 7 years. I have the right experience and I know what it takes to make our society fair for the middle class and for other classes.

-To all the candidates. In the last election, the Democratic party has suffered it's worst electoral defeat since 1984. What should be the lessons that should be taken from the 2016 election?

One of the reasons why we lost the 2016 election is because our base lost its trust towards our system and was suspicious about the possibility that the process to select the Democratic nominee was rigged.

We also need to nominate a real progressive in order to bring our base together. As president of the United States, I will fight to rise the minimum wage at 15 $/hour, to restore Glass Steagall, to put aside fossil energies and promote green energies in order to improve our ecological footprint and to make sure that rich people will pay their fair share.

-To all the candidates. What will be your policy towards Israel if you're elected president?

While I believe that Jerusalem is Israel's capital, I also believe in a two-state solution in order to ensure peace in the Middle East. Unlike the President, I am interested in restoring peace in this region.

-To all the candidates. As we know, most of you, except for Senator Kaine, missed the Congressional vote on the Path to Victory and Peace Act that reduced the U.S. aid to Pakistan due to suspicions of Pakistani sponsoring to terrorism in order to convince India to deploy ground troops there in order to fight terrorism, which, as President Rubio stated, I quote, « will give us the advantage against terrorists thanks to the combination of the strengths of the 1st and 4th military powers in the world without needing to send additional troops there. » I want to hear from all of you, did the President take the right decision on Afghanistan?

While I have disagreements with President Rubio on foreign policy, I think he made the right choice. We are fighting our longest war since the Vietnam War. I believe we can effectively defeat terrorism in Afghanistan without needing to send aditionnal troops there. As a result, we will save hundreds of billions of dolllars and unlike Pakistan, a country that is suspected to sponsor terrorist groups, India is an ally that can be fully trusted. Thanks to the combination of our military powers, we're going to ensure victory in Afghanistan, which will remove the terrorist threat there. So if I'm president, not only we will be able to defeat terrorism there but we'll also be able to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan during my first term. That's how we're going to lead our nation to peace.

-Senator Kaine, during your time as Virginia Governor, unemployment in Virginia remained lower than the national average during the 2008 financial crisis. Do you believe it could be a factor explaining why you are the most qualified on this stage to handle economic issues?

Of course it is. And you're right, Virginia's unemployment rate was under the national average during my tenure as Governor of Virginia. The unemployment rate in Virginia rose from 3.2% to 7.4%, a smaller increase than the national unemployment rate which rose from 4.7% to 9.9% during the same period. You know how we did better? By investing in the development of infrastructures in Virginia, which facilitated economic activities. As a result, Virginia took first place each year from 2006 to 2009 in the "Best States For Business" rankings published by Forbes magazine. And during my time in the Senate, I've been in the Committee on the Budget so I know what it takes to manage the economy and to make it fair for all Americans of all classes.

-Closing statements

My friends, I want to thank you for watching. Time has come to head into a bright future. I'm running to fight for you, not for corporations and big banks but for the American people. I want the voices of all Americans, including the middle class and lower income Americans to be heard because I want to be president for all Americans. That's why I'm asking for your vote.
