Important elections at the state and local level are happening now -- this year -- that could determine critical, life-changing policies around health care, the economy, and racial and reproductive justice. One of the most important of these 2017 state fights is in Virginia. Virginia has long been a "purple" battleground state. When voters turn out, the state grows more progressive. But when voters stay home, as they did in 2009, Republicans take over key state legislative seats and push for some of the most reactionary anti-woman, anti-worker, anti-immigrant policies in the country. In 2015, DFA members fought back. You helped elect bold champions like Rep. Jennifer Boysko, and as a result Republicans lost their veto-proof majority in the State House. Now, as support for Republicans collapses across the country and as the GOP reels from our successful defense of the Affordable Care Act, it's time to win big in Virginia -- right now, in 2017. Will you help DFA members elect progressive candidates in the all-important swing state of Virginia this fall? Chip in $3 or more to help elect Justin Fairfax and other progressives in Virginia! Here's the DFA strategy to flip Virginia from purple to blue: first, we need to elect a bold, dynamic progressive to the Lieutenant Governor's seat, an office that can break ties a narrowly split State Senate. Then, we need to hold our gains and take back lots of seats in the Republican-held House of Delegates, where 100 seats will be on the ballot this November.That's why we're endorsing Justin Fairfax for Lieutenant Governor. Fairfax is a young, bold, dynamic leader with a proven track record of fighting effectively for Virginia's most vulnerable communities. As the Assistant U.S. Attorney, he launched a groundbreaking initiative to end human trafficking, prioritized much-needed criminal justice reforms, and helped build a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive bench in his work with the Virginia Coalition for Racial Diversity in the Justice System. Justin Fairfax is running to make education affordable, to create good local jobs, and to protect civil rights and voting rights. Fairfax is a self-identified "proud feminist" and the former vice-chair of the metropolitan regional Planned Parenthood. He would become only the second African-American leader ever elected to statewide office in Virginia, and the first African-American leader in history to serve as the state's Lieutenant Governor. We also have to defend progressives in the Virginia House of Delegates from Republican challenges. That's why we're endorsing a group of powerhouse Democratic delegates running for reelection, as our initial slate of legislative candidates:
- Lashrecse Aird, 63rd District
- Lamont Bagby, 74th District
- Jennifer Boysko, 86th District
- Jeff Bourne, 71st District
- Mark Levine, 45th District
- Delores McQuinn, 70th District
- Marcia Price 95th District
- Jeion Ward 92nd District
Thank you for stepping up for transformative progressives.

Donald Trump's team sent the email below -- asking their donors to fund a "six-figure ad blitz" against "vulnerable" Democratic Senators. And now that Senator Chuck Schumer announced Senate Democrats will filibuster Trump's Supreme Court nominee, you know the GOP will be more fired up than ever.We cannot let Trump's ad blitz go unanswered, JOSIP. Senate Democrats need to know you have their backs in the Supreme Court fight. Chip in $25 right now to show you're standing with Senate Democrats.
Thank you,

Friend,
Democrats are beginning their weeks-long smear campaign to block President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, the Honorable Neil Gorsuch.But there's something you can do to stop them.Our Party is launching a six-figure ad blitz in support of President Trump's nominee in twelve battleground states where vulnerable Democrats will be up for re-election in 2018. We have enough funds to run ads for the first few days, but we'll need your help to ensure we can run ads throughout the entire duration of the Democrats' despicable smear campaign. Please make a contribution of $100, $65, $50, $35, $20 or even just $10 to help us run ads defending President Trump's Supreme Court nominee. If you're sick of the way Democrats and the media have been obstructing President Trump's agenda, this is your chance to fight back in defense of the American people's mandate. Please make a contribution of $35 to help us run our ad campaign in defense of President Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
Thanks,

Hi,
The demand for this is much higher than I expected and is exactly why you need to make your move right away.
You can use this link to sign upere is the link to sign up I highly recommend you do this as soon as you can to ensure you get a place. I would hate to see you come this far and miss out. If you have any questions about this please complete the signup and someone will contact you. Paul Begala wouldn’t have emailed you if he didn’t believe we have the best chance to win the Georgia Special Election and deal Trump his first defeat! But our numbers will be locked in to go public in just THREE DAYS. This is a HUGE test for our campaign -- one we can’t afford to fail. So will you answer Paul Begala’s call-to-action by pitching in $5 before Wednesday’s PUBLIC deadline?? Hey -- I’ve worked on a bunch of campaigns over the years. Few have had the upside potential of the Georgia Special Election. Democrats have a shot to flip Georgia’s 6th District blue for the first time in DECADES! And if we win, it’ll be the first MAJOR defeat for Trump since he was elected. That’s why I’m going all-in to elect Jon Ossoff to Congress. But Jon only has 23 days left to do what most campaigns do in a year. He’s counting on us to step up and make sure he can go all the way. So I’m asking: Will you pitch in $5 or $10 this instant to help pull off the biggest progressive upset of the year?Donate Right now, Jon’s being slammed by $2,2OO,OOO worth of negative ads from a shady Republican SuperPAC. If we don’t give Jon the resources to fight back, his chance could be lost for good! Look -- I’m not kidding when I say DEMOCRATS CAN WIN THIS SPECIAL ELECTION. But that requires all of us stepping up when it matters most. 23 days to go. It’s go time. Will you chip in to Jon’s campaign right away? Pitch in $5 right now →
Thanks for doing me this favor,
Paul Begala

Respected friends,
I would like you to meet José Ferraz. He is a dedicated family man with seven children and four grandchildren! He is also a Fatima Custodian for America Needs Fatima and has been serving Our Lady for 18 years.That’s 18 years of traveling all through Florida and the North East in his van, bringing the Pilgrim Virgin statue of Our Lady of Fatima into homes, schools, churches, nursinghomes,hospitals…
...Anywhere that people will welcome Our Lady and the message of Fatima.
José has consecrated his whole life to Our Lady. And just like his patron Saint Joseph, he spends every waking hour making sure that Our Lady is cared for and loved.
Like all of our Custodians, he has a tremendous level of dedication – he is a full-time volunteer and does NOT receive a salary!
Instead, he depends entirely on support from you, and other good people like you.
Without your support right now, José might not be able to take the Pilgrim Virgin Statue into more homes. Sometimes these visits are the only way many families have to learn about the Rosary, hear the Fatima message and start on the path to conversion.
And José has seen so many wonderful conversions as the fruit of his apostolate!
He considers this work "a calling". It is hard on his family because he is away for several days at a time. But he and his wife wanted to do this for Our Lady. He says,“We wanted to help her save souls. I knew that if I took care of spreading her message, she would take care of our family.”
Friends, right now José needs financial support to continue his mission to bring the Fatima message to so many good souls; souls who long to look into Our Lady’s eyes and pray a rosary with her Custodian.
When José prays with his hosts, he offers up his rosary for all those who make his apostolate possible.
When you click here to help Jose stay on the road, you will become one of those who benefit from the graces of all the rosaries José prays!
Please believe me when I tell you that he is totally dedicated to Our Lady, and has been for over 18 years, but he needs a special friend like you so that he can stay on the road, and continue to take the Fatima message into people’s homes.
Friends, you and José will make a great team for Our Lady!

I remain your friend,
In Jesus and Mary,

PS: This Lent, won’t you please consider making a small donation to keep José Ferraz on the road with the Pilgrim Virgin statue of Our Lady of Fatima?
