I have good news and bad news. The good news: late last night, we surpassed our ambitious $600,000 online fundraising goal in record time — I'm so grateful to everyone who stepped up!
If we are going to triumph over Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and all the secret special interest billionaires trying to buy our race, we have to hit our goal before midnight tonight — there's only $8,752 left to go.
The hypocrisy is out of control. It's only my first term in the Senate, and while I feel like I've heard all the political absurdity possible in Washington, I just can't get over the incredible disconnect between Tea Party rhetoric and the reality we all know to be true.
If there's one Missouri value I bring to the Senate, it's independence. It's never mattered if I'm pressured by the right or the left, the president or the mailman — I take my cues from Missouri.
We've launched Veterans for Claire with an exclusive web video of Claire's mom, Betty Anne, talking about her daughter's work to clean up the Arlington National Cemetery scandal.
As the daughter of a World War II Veteran, Claire made a promise to fight tirelessly to ensure that all soldiers get the same benefits her father received following his military service.
Tonight at 10:30 CT, Claire will go up against Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report in a debate about secret political contributions that fund Karl Rove's organization and others like it.
As fans of the Report know, Colbert has been a champion of the political system that allows unlimited anonymous political contributions from corporations and billionaires - so much so, that he's created his own 501(c)(4) through a company called Anonymous Shell Corporation.
This is going to be must see TV, and I hope you won't miss it.
Claire sent out the following email to our supporters today encouraging them to support her call for reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
A few weeks ago we received an email from one of our donors telling us that this donation was her first. Not her first contribution to Claire — her first political contribution in her life. Brenda's story is not unique.
