Amash Schedule Feb-June 2019

Feb. - June 2019 -
Amash Spent most of the most of the month on the campaign trail introducing himself to the voters in the first three primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Many stops were made to colleges where Amash had grown popular among college Republicans. Youth voters were his best group polling wise. He was introduced by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and received his endorsement.

 
Paul Endorsing Amash in Durham, NH

"Justin is a man who I know is dedicated to the cause of liberty for individuals and that's why I am endorsing him today! Give a warm welcome to my friend Justin!"

Amash also began to campaign in places like Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, Oklahoma and his Home state of Michigan.

In April, Amash received the endorsement of Thomas Massie in KY. The two were friends in Congress and his endorsement was not a huge surprise.

ALEX SINK FOR PRESIDENT SCHEDULE

THIS CONCLUDES THE SCHEDULE FOR GOVERNOR ALEX SINK FOR THESE DATES

[adamevans]

Sherrod Brown 2020
Rebuild America.

Announcement Speech

"It's great to be back home in Mansfield!

Y'know, there was a lot of people telling me to host this speech in Iowa or New Hampshire, or even Cleveland, but there's no place I'd rather make such an important announcement than in my birthtown, the 'Fun Center of Ohio,' as it's nicknamed.

Today, here in my birth city, Mansfield, and in the great state of Ohio – the buckeye state, the mother of Presidents, the birthplace of aviation, the heart of it all – I am proud to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.

'Equality of opportunity… Jobs for those who can work… Security for those who need it… The ending of special privilege for the few… The preservation of civil liberties for all… a wider and constantly rising standard of living.' That is the promise of America. It's America's basic bargain, it was President Roosevelt's testament to our nation's unmatched aspiration. His legacy lifted up a nation and inspired presidents who followed.

And so, we embark on this journey together; to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth. We come together because we believe that in America, your success shouldn’t be determined by the circumstances of your birth.  If you’re willing to work hard, you should be able to have and maintain a good-paying job.  If you’re willing to meet your responsibilities, you should be able to own a home, maybe start a business, give your children the chance to do even better - no matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like: that is the basic dignity of work.

We come together because our country had strayed from these basic values.  Too many small businesses have shut down. Wages have stayed stagnant. Manufacturing has left our shores.  A shrinking number of Americans did fantastically well, while most people struggled with falling incomes, rising costs, and slower job growth. It's time we took the mantle and begun the work of rebuilding America. Tonight, we create a vision for our country.

And we begin our message on one simple vision: rebuild America. To understand how we can do that, we have to realize who built America to begin with; and we built it together. We built railroads and highways, the Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge together.  We instituted a minimum wage and worker safety laws together.  Together, we touched the surface of the moon, unlocked the mystery of the atom, connected the world through our own science and imagination.  We did these things together, not because they benefited any particular individual or group, but because they made us all richer.  Because they gave us all opportunity.  Because they moved us forward together, as one people, as one nation.

It's because I've seen the promise of America in my own life. My parents would have never dreamed that their son would be a U.S. Senator, let alone run for president. But for too many of our fellow Americans, the dream of progress and opportunity is being denied by the grind of an economy that funnels all the wealth to the top. During periods of great depressions and recessions, the middle class has continued to be beaten down repeatedly. Massive tax breaks given to the wealthy, borrowing money to pay for two endless wars, and falling incomes for middle class families. Wealth trickled up from the middle class to the rich. You know where we ended up.

But, as we have since our founding, Americans made a new beginning. You worked extra shifts, took second jobs, postponed home repairs… you figured out how to make it work. And now people are beginning to think about their future again – going to college, starting a business, buying a house, finally being able to put away something for retirement. Now is the time for millions of middle class working families to come together to revive that dream, to revitalize American democracy, to end the collapse of the American middle class and to make certain that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy a quality of life that brings them health, prosperity, security and joy – and that once again makes the United States the leader in the world in economic prosperity for it's middle class.

We can live in a country where:
- we keep American jobs and industry here in America.
- the minimum wage is one people can live on.
- voting rights are extensively protected.
- workers have the freedom to organize for fair wages by repealing Taft- Hartley.
- childcare and college is affordable and universal.
- billionaires and millionaires don't control our democracy with tougher campaign finance laws.
- civil liberties are protected by repealing the so-called 'PATRIOT Act.'
- big banks cannot gamble with your money by re-implementing Glass- Steagall
- our infrastructure is no longer crumbling and re-invested in.

That is the nation we can build together, and I ask you to join me in this campaign to build a future that works for the hard working middle and lower class families. Today, I ask you on this wonderful day in Mansfield, Ohio, to join me on this journey. Thank you, Ohio, and god bless our country."

Sanders praises Brown's $15 Minimum Wage bill:
"absolutely in the right direction"

"Over the past 40 years, the U.S. economy has not been working for most working people. As productivity has gone up, the cost of living has gone up, but median wages have fallen relative to inflation. Not only are people’s jobs under threat of being sent overseas, but American workers are now forced to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet. 66.5 percent of women and 85.8 percent of men are working more than 40 hours a week, many without paid vacation or paid sick leave. Over the last few decades the decline of the middle class has mirrored the decline of unionized workers in America. Corporations and their lobbied counterparts in Washington, D.C. have been ferociously attacking the organizing and collective bargaining rights of public and private sector union members. This hostile environment towards labor unions benefits the multibillion dollar corporation’s bottom line, its CEOs, and its shareholders, not the average worker. In order to rebuild the American middle class, we have to rebuild the American trade union movement and expand employee ownership and participation in the industry.

The dirty reality of our economy is that since the mid-1980s there has been an enormous transfer of wealth from the middle class to the absolute wealthiest, and middle class wages have remained stagnant. That is the Robin Hood principle in reverse. That is unacceptable and that has got to change. Despite huge advancements in technology and productivity, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages. The real median income of male workers is $783 less than it was 42 years ago; while the real median income of female workers is over $1,300 less than it was in 2007. That is unacceptable and that has got to change.

That is why I am so proud to have the support of the United Mine Workers of America today. Unions like the UMWA have spent their entire existence fighting for higher wages, work benefits, workplace safety, etc. It is a shame that multimillionaires, multibillionaires, and large corporations have done all they can to suppress union movements, and it is a shame that virtually every Republican in the other primary supports suppressing labor unions that fight for better work benefits. As a Senator and Representative, I have, more consistently than anyone else, fought for the right to organize and bargain for workers, and as President, I will seek to repeal Taft- Hartley and other laws that have suppressed union membership and suppressed middle class working wages."

Senator Jeff Merkley joins Brown at Rally in Des Moines

"It's great to be here with my colleague Senator Sherrod Brown. This year, we need someone with the courage to tell the President what millions of average Americans are feeling right now: the economy isn't working for everyone. I think my friend Sherrod has that courage. He's offered a clear vision for this country and for the millions of workers who live in it, that it's time to revive the dignity of work and it's time to rebuild America. People say Sherrod is unpolished, unvarnished: that's right, he is. He's not a President years in the making by the Washington establishment. He's someone that working class people can get understand, someone who is a reliable fighter on their side. And also, someone we need in the White House"[/quote]

GOVERNOR ALEX SINK REVEALS OFFICIAL LOGO

[Orwell]

John Kerry Surrogate schedules

Tim Ryan

The Democratic leader in the House will spend this time rallying support around Senator Kerry in Iowa, where he will be using his connections as the top Democrat in the House to build up an organization in the state for Senator Kerry. He will be focusing on recruiting precinct committeemen throughout the state and campaigning for Senator Kerry among the working class voters in the areas that are more hostile to Democrats in the northwest of Iowa. His primary goal as a surrogate is too visit every county in the state before, June 1st and to focus on recruiting campaign staff in these rural counties.

Steny Hoyer

One of Senator Kerry's more noticeable endorsements was Fmr. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland. Unlike Leader Ryan, he will be focusing on gaining the Senator more traction within the beltway working with the leaders of the Democratic National Committee to sow roots between Kerry's campaign and these all important state democratic parties. He will also be appearing with Senator Kerry and Vice President Biden on March 17th for a St. Patrick's Day celebration in Boston. He will also be meeting with top Democratic donors, pitching them the idea of Kerry's campaign and his commitment for Universal Healthcare, and his experience on matters of Foreign policy, as well as his service in the Vietnam war.

Adam Schiff

Representative Schiff is a key surrogate for Kerry's western campaign. He will be focusing on driving out educated more liberal voters in Nevada. He will also be spending a lot of time in California with the announcement of Kamala Harris a strong showing in California will be key for the Kerry campaign. He will be laying the foundation for a campaign in Nevada, while making several joint appearances with Senator Kerry, as well as Vice President Biden, and many other of Kerry's top surrogates in both the west and the entire nation. Schiff will only spend a part of his time in Nevada, he will be making a few week long trips to both Iowa and New Hampshire where he will be working with Vice President Biden, Leader Ryan, and Senator Kerry in blanketing the states will on the ground activists and Kerry campaign surrogates.

Elizabeth Warren

Senator Warren will be focusing solely on New Hampshire. She is a popular figure in the state, and she commands an audience of many progressive Democrats who attempted to draft her to run 4 years ago. She will be holding around a dozen townhalls in New Hampshire, as well as a half dozen solo rally's and nearly as many joint appearances with Vice President Joe Biden, and with Senator John Kerry. Her actions should bring much attention in local media to the Kerry campaign, while others are not focusing so heavily on New Hampshire Kerry will make this one of his prime targets, by setting one of his best surrogates loose on the state. The Campaign hopes this will lessen the effect of Progressive Governor Stacey Abrams on the Granite State.

Joe Kennedy III

 
Representative Kennedy will do the same as Senator Warren and focus solely on New Hampshire during this time period. He will however, be focusing on connecting with younger voters. He will visit every 4 year college in the state of New Hampshire over the coming months. His primary message will be Senator Kerry's policies on the opioid epidemic which is hitting New Hampshire hard, he will be focusing on the younger voters, but won't be leaving others out in the wind. 

Joe Biden

 

Vice President Biden is Kerry's top surrogate at the moment, he will be covering much ground during the months. Including over a dozen stops in Iowa and New Hampshire, his primary focus is New Hampshire where he will be joining Elizabeth Warren, Senator Kerry, and Joe Kennedy III. These are the stars of Senator Kerry's campaign, Biden focusing on the Senator's service, his opioid response plan, and his plan for Universal Healthcare.

Election Update 2020
with your hosts, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd


Holt: Good evening. I'm Lester Holt.



Todd: And I'm Chuck Todd.

Both: And this is your Election Update.

Holt: And we start off with what may be the final presidential announcement of this cycle. Let's listen in.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Holt: However, as one candidate comes, so another goes: let's listen there.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Holt: Representative Gabbard was actually on our show fairly recently, and, interestingly, Senator Brown now joins us from Pittsburgh, where I believe you just got finished with a Dignity of Work rally. Isn't that right, Senator?



Brown: That's right, Lester. And I must say, I'm still a bit pumped from the energy in the room tonight.

Holt: I'm sure it was palpable, Senator. Now then, my first question: Senator, you’ve cast yourself as a titan of labor over the years. How do you intend to reach out to other significant Democratic voter blocs?

Brown: Well, first off, I'm flattered to have that title, but I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding with the question's assumption. Too many pundits believe you're either fighting for workers or you're fighting for progressive values. But you've got to do both. As a long-time progressive and an advocate for workers, it's not just the way to win elections, it's the way to govern. Dignity of work is a value that every laborer in this country shares: whether you're young, old, black, white, liberal, conservative. Everyone shares that basic value, and I think that whoever the Democratic nominee is should run on that message because I don't think you have to abandon your values in order to campaign to the entire country.

Holt: Having your cake and eating it too, eh, Senator? Now, as you know, President Romney won your home state twice, and Wisconsin in 2016. Do you believe your Midwestern roots would be an asset to the Democratic Party in taking back these states?

Brown: I think, if we're going to win Ohio and Wisconsin, we need to embrace a pro-worker, pro-labor message centered on restoring the dignity of work. Ohioans who voted for President Obama in 2008 didn't turn out for the Democratic nominee in 2012 or 2016. They felt disillusioned by some of the President's policies and message, and some of them felt the change they voted for in 2008 didn't come fast enough. I endorsed and supported President Obama, but I knew their concerns. If we're going to win next year, we need a substantive, policy-oriented message that grasps at and turns out those voters to the voting booth.

Holt: Turnout, turnout, turnout, looking like more of a Democratic asset each year, a lot of people say. Senator, your poll numbers have spiked these past few weeks. Assuming this trend continues, what would your first 100 days be like?

Brown: Well, you're getting a little ahead of yourself there. Connie and I still have to decide whether we want to run at all. But I'd say if we do have a first 100 days, it'd be heavily centered around curbing corporate power over workers and consumers, restoring the power of laborers in the workplace, deliberating with foreign countries concerning the reform of U.S trade policy, and massively reform the way lobbyists influence the White House. It is long overdue that we push a pro-wage growth and pro-worker agenda in the White House to reverse the past 30+ years of wage stagnation. Middle class Americans are being ripped off by corporations who buy out Congress and the White House in order to shift the rules in their favor. When you love your country, you fight for the people that make it work, and I think that is the governing philosophy that the next President should adopt.

Holt: Much as I personally suspect that decision has already been made, Senator, I'll leave you to announce your intentions in your own time. *Holt non-subtly winks* *Brown laughs* Finally, if you could tell the American people one thing tonight, what would it be?

Brown: I believe that average Americans are absolutely fed up with the status quo of our economic system. If I had to say something tonight, it's that we need to volunteer, campaign, vote for the candidate that you believe that can break the status quo. Get involved, put your voice in. That's the only way something will change.

Holt: Senator Brown, thank you so much for being on.

Brown: My pleasure, Lester.



Holt: *faces camera* And that will be all for tonight.



Todd: And all you'll be seeing us for a while, as we turn over the reins to CNN's Wolf Blitzer and John King for the next few election updates.

*camera pans to Blitzer and King*



Blitzer: Yes, and we'll be sure to give you the breakdown you need to decide among the massive field of 19 candidates.



King: That's right. For the next month, we'll be giving you your Election Updates.

Phil Scott for President

Phil Scott speech to supporters in Wolfesboro

(March 23, Major Excerpt)

I'm happy to be here around the beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee. Vermont I believe, beats New Hampshire with Ice Cream, Cheese, Maple Syrup, and more controversially mountains. But I will surrender the superiority of New Hampshire's lakes.

I've fortunately had the pleasure of being in New Hampshire frequently during my time as governor. I've been across the White Mountains, and I've eaten lunch in Portsmouth. I got the opportunity to work New Hampshire's hard working governor Chris Sunnunu. Chris is really an example. Somebody who sits down with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, confronts the problems head on and puts solutions first. He worked to get the opportunity zones the tax breaks they need, he stood up for the taxpayer, and he got up and supported the rights and equality of the LGBT community.  Not to mention his rugby ability, and his extraordinary hiking. One day we must come back to Vermont and hike Mount Mansfield together.

But I think Washington has a lot to learn from Concord and Montpelier. It's gotten to a point in Washington where some of our representatives don't even listen to each other. They've got a few tracking agencies or special interests they've got to please, and that's it. In Burlington and Montpelier, we got problem solvers who sit down and get things done for the people. In Montpelier we got millions for clean water, we invest 3 million to give our students the best tuition possible. In Concord they've mapped out of a plan to increase state power output, and Chris and I have both held the line of taxes and fees. We keep our budgets balanced, and our taxes down. That's responsible leadership, we work together, that's how we create a better future for our children and protect the most vulnerable.

But what do we need to do in Washington? Well, my campaign is mapping out a policy roadmap to keep America humming strong, and to close the partisan divide. First, infrastructure. We have a D- grade for our bridges, roads, piping system, power grids. I can't accept that. I don't think we as a community can accept potholes in our roads and collapses of our bridges. I want the invest half a trillion dollars or more into our infrastructure. That includes tax cuts for specific companies, and it includes new spending. But the benefit is enormous, and will reap and enormous surplus in the end. It will create thousands upon thousands of jobs nationwide. This helps everyone, new roads to get from here to Manchester, to travel down to Rutland Vermont. New sewage lines, and new modern bridges that can support bigger loads. We can do better, and we must strive to do so.

At the same time, we must stand up for taxpayers. President Romney has done a great job doing that, but we must make sure that working people and our middle class families aren't forcing to pay higher taxes. I want real tax reform that cuts taxes for the middle class, and closes loopholes that giant corporations and banks use to hide their money overseas.

I think we gotta stand up for the most vulnerable in our society. I'm opposed to deep cuts to important programs. Our rural development commissions like the ARC, or like many other groups that invest in schools, jobs, local communities. Our after school program and youth diversion initiatives. We don't help anybody when we get rid of these important programs. We need compassion in government, we can't just be in this for ourselves.

This all ads up to bridging the partisan divide, getting things done like here in New Hampshire. Getting Republicans and Democrats to work together to get things done. A simple concept isn't it? Americans do it every day. We go to work with people of all kinds of political beliefs, we work together. Why can't Washington work the same way? That's the question I ask. I want to restore transparency and accountability. We need to have our leaders stare us in the eyes, and be honest. We must restore faith in our political process. If I have the honor of being elected, I'll bring cameras into the White House, and I'll always govern like I have in Montpelier. With my fellow citizens as neighbors. I'm honored to be supported by such leaders like Elise Stefanik of the north country in New York. She's a real leader for her community, and her generation will really be transformative for this country.

With all that said, I'd be honored if you'd vote for me. And I humbly ask for your vote

Phil Ad #1: Together (Running in Iowa, NH, and SC)

(Camera pans onto a Burlington farmers market, Phil at the focus in the foreground)

Hello. I'm Vermont Governor Phil Scott. I'm worked for the last two years as governor of the great state of Vermont. I know my constituents as my friends and neighbors, and I've had the honor of serving them.  I'm running for President of the United States because it's time we ended the partisan divide, made our leaders accountable to the people again, and make government work for all of us. We get things done when we work together, and that's what I want to see in Washington. I'm Phil Scott candidate for President, and I approve this message. I'd be honored to have your vote.

What Manfred did
Throughout early February Manfred started out his 50 State strategy in the Western states.  He campaigned on the hypocrisy of the two parties and demanded that Amercia needs a Bipartisan president in times like these.

He also campaigned on the southwest on healthcare and how to save social security.
