Domestic spying? Ted Lieu already wrote a law against it.

One of the most critical primaries coming up next week is for Henry Waxman's House seat on the Westside of Los Angeles-- Santa Monica, Venice, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Redondo Beach… Blue America did a dual endorsement for a jungle primary that will yield two finalists for the November general election, hopefully two stalwart progressives.

Jimi Hendrix Contest Extended In Honor Of Memorial Day

Thanks to Howie Klein of Blue America PAC, you have a chance to win a Jimi Hendrix Platinum Album Award, for the album “Are You Experienced?” Read the attached to put this in context, so you recognize just how mind-boggling this opportunity is. PS: Here’s some friendly advice from Alan Grayson himself: "Don’t blow it."

Barbara Lee’s First Endorsement… And The Beatles

Today Rep. Lee announced that her Barbara Lee Progressive PAC's top 8 priorities for congressional action starts with "Bringing an end to perpetual war, saving trillions of dollars and millions of lives." And her first endorsement of a challenger for the 2014 cycle, fellow Californian and peace advocate, Lee Rogers. You could win this beautiful Beatles signed photograph with any donation to Lee's campaign.

$10.10… It’s Good For Us All

Is it worth $10.10 to you to help elect tribunes of the people like Rick Weiland and Shenna Bellows? Take my word for it, Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson and Elizabeth Warren can't do it by themselves. We need lots more like them.

Why Blue America Is Taking A Time Out

For the rest of this week, you are likely to be bombarded with hysterical, desperate spam from the DCCC, DSCC and their myriad candidates. So we're not going to send any more e-mails out 'til after that circus is over.
Instead, we're offering to send a $1,000 check from our PAC to whichever House candidate our members prefer. You tell us who.

You Know– Even If Republicans Don’t– Hawaii Is A State

Blue America endorsed Stanley Chang because he's quite literally a progressive dream candidate. This district is deep blue; whoever wins the primary will be going to Congress. Let's make sure it's someone who shares our progressive values. You can contribute to Stanley's campaign here: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/blueamerica14?refcode=BACnL

We Need Members Of Congress Who KNOW Something

One of the dirty little secrets of Congress is that many of them legislate in areas in which they are utterly bereft of knowledge. If ignorance is bliss, then some of the Members must be deliriously happy. (No wonder Sen. Ted Cruz is always smiling!)

Tell the DSCC: “Your Job is to Elect Democrats, Not Susan Collins”

Shenna Bellows is going to be just as astounding a U.S. Senator as Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Let the DSCC waste their time and resources on anti-Choice, anti-equality, antigay, anti-environment, pro-NRA goons like Travis Childers. Let's do absolutely everything we can to elect a real progressive fighter.

Chained CPI– RIP? Now Let’s Get To Work Strengthening Social Security

Chained CPI is out of the President's budget.... for now. Electing more Blue America progressives will ensure the pressure on the Corporate Wing of the Party to keep true to Democratic values stays strong... Alan Grayson and Elizabeth Warren strong.

Kochs/Fox Aiming to take Alan Grayson Out– Joni To The Rescue?

Today, Blue America is launching a Joni Mitchell contest to help raise some campaign cash for Grayson's reelection in the very expensive Orlando media market to combat the Kochs and Fox News' targeted attacks.

PA Progressive takes 55% of the vote in a 4-way race for May Primary

PA's "Liberal Lion" killed the competition with 55% of the vote between four Democratic candidates for the open seat in PA-13. He's the most exciting candidate since Alan Grayson. We need to make sure he gets elected.

HOOTERS Stand Up for the “Liberal Lion” and you could win this HOOTER!

Yes, it's a "Hooter." Autographed by the Hooters. All to help the next "Alan Grayson" in Congress-- Daylin Leach. And you very well could own it.
