From Hillary's Onward Together Pac
Raising Campaign necessary cash for 2018 Democratic Candidates & to support the work of other organizations for their GOTV efforts and Candidate endorsement.

ONWARD TOGETHER has fundraised & distributed millions of dollars to smaller orgs who could not exist without a lift upwards.

HRC's endorsment of David Garcia & 4 other candidates running for Governor.

David Garcia is running for Governor in Arizona to fight for working families and against a rigged economy.
David wants Arizona to have top quality schools, good paying jobs and honest government for a change.
David is a husband, dad, veteran and teacher.
As Governor, David Garcia will root out the corruption, fight for education and break the old politics that hold Arizona back.
He’s a working-class, fourth generation Arizonan and an infantry marksman who was raised to value service and integrity.
David is a national education expert who will invest in our schools, the bedrock of our communities, so our children have the best shot at opportunity and the American dream.

This election truly is onward together, or not at all.

Garcia's win is an 'everybody on board together for 2018', effort.

7. I donated to this 3 or so weeks ago. I watched a video of HRC's Org.

I cannot wait to get my onward sticker. They are popping up in my town. I have a new black car that will look pretty sporting an onward sticker.

We have work to do.

13. Still out front supporting Democrats. What I find heart warming is....

....she's endorsing candidates AND contributing money to their campaigns, not merely endorsing and asking for money.

She's been doing things like this on a national level unwaveringly for 30 years.

[NurseJackie]

14. That's an important distinction, isn't it? It really says a lot about her CHARACTER and PRIORITIES...

she's endorsing candidates AND contributing money to their campaigns, not merely endorsing and asking for money.

That's an important distinction, isn't it? It really says a lot about her CHARACTER and PRIORITIES and her HONESTY. All I'm trying to say is that I'm not at all surprised that she's not the type of person who would seek to profit or make any personal gains from her endorsements or fundraising efforts.

[Bfd]

15. She has raised millions for down ballot State & local candidates

Here are some of the righteous organizations Onward Together has endorsed, qualified & supported financially.

Alliance for Youth
Arena
Collective Pac
Color of Change
Demand Justice
Emerge America
Indivisible
iVote
Latino Victory
Run for Something
Swing Left
Vote Latino
and more

And within each of these organizations, there are hundreds to thousands of people across the country doing the footwork of the unsung heros that all make the fine-functioning machine, The Democratic Party, stand as strong today as it has through the many battles it's fought against the RW, on behalf of the America people.
Human Rights and Equal Rights ~ This is the most basic tenat of the Democratic Party .

Glad to see all who hold this belief doing their part to put fasciam to rest once & for all.

[sheshe2]

18. Thank you Hillary Clinton.

[Bfd]

22. Hillary, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Booker, & the many thousands of dedicated Dems all in it together &

& for one unified goal.

Power can be for good or evil, for community or for self.

Thanks to all of us.

[grantcart]

23. I met Garcia 2 weeks ago and was very impressed. Took a pass on the rally

Think it's the only one I have missed so far

[Bfd]

24. K & R All I have read of him, He is definately impressive

Smart man, good person & he's dived into this race for the good of his State & it's people.

A sincere & dedicated man

16. Thank you Joe Biden!! Thank You President Obama for lending your Democratic creds

Biden & Obama with their massive star power is a call to arms. VOTE BLUE

[R B Garr]

27. Biden was great. He had realistic talking points about how things actually get

done in Washington and not just grandstanding.

It's so refreshing to see that kind of honesty.

[Donkees]

11. It's raining in Tucson but that's not stopping the crowd out for @dg4az and Bernie Sanders

12. People clamor to shake Barack Obama's hand at Las Vegas rally

17. I saw the end of his speech as he walked through the cheering crowd.

An endless row of arms & hands reaching out to him, people crying for him & speaking to him. He took his time as he made his way & it reminded me of the crowds in the audience the day The Beatles arrived!

The man is loved

[Wintryjade]

21. I saw the diferent version of "angry" mob and I so enjoy the Democratic version of our angry mob in

diversity, hope, hard work, lots of smiles and reaching out.

[R B Garr]

29. He truly is a rock star. The total package. He is a thriller! nt

[Wintryjade]

19. I miss him so. But, not really 'cause he is not going away. Nor the others I enjoy so. Thanks.

[sheshe2]

20. The memories!

[NurseJackie]

35. Awesome!! OBAMA ROCKS!!!

26. Is BS scheduled to campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in VT?

Christine Hallquist is challenging a Republican incumbent governor who vetoed both an increase in the minimum wage and the creation of a paid family leave program.

In addition, because Ms. Hallquist is transgender, campaigning with her would be a show of solidarity after the Trump threat to define that community out of existence just this week.

Polling has 22% of VT voters still undecided. Hopefully BS will make time during his National Tour to stop in his home state to help bring the people of Vermont a governor who will actually sign legislation that ensures a living minimum wage.

On a related note, maybe BS could help Hallquist with fundraising, given his success:

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) raised close to $1.4 million for his reelection campaign over the past two months, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. The two-term senator, who faces minimal opposition in the November election, spent $549,153 of it.

That leaves Sanders with more than $8.8 million cash on hand, a new record in Vermont politics.

[R B Garr]

28. This is a great question. Where is he on behalf of politicians in his own state.

I saw she's posts the other day that one AA candidate is getting threats. I guess Bernie is going to be in California instead, although California is the most progressive state, so the priorities are odd.

[lapucelle]

31. Did you know that CA moved its presidential primary to March for 2020?

[R B Garr]

33. Wow, that sure explains a lot. It doesn't make much sense to spend time in very

liberal California otherwise at this time.

I'm glad to see the majority of voters here are more interested in winning than in becoming distracted with sending messages. Polls show voters seem to have rejected the pleas to dump Feinstein, as they value her experience.

Thanks for the info, lapucelle!

[George II]

30. His opponent, Lawrence Zupan, has received $130,000 and spent $65,000 through October 17.

One wonders why a candidate would still be fundraising out of state just two weeks before the election with a treasury balance more than 130X his opponent ($8,800,000 vs. $65,000)

On the other hand, as of now Hallquist has received $438,000, her opponent Phil Scott $566,000. She sure could use some help as a historic candidate running against an incumbent in Vermont.

[lapucelle]

32. What happens to BS's left over money? N/T

[George II]

38. I think a candidate committee gets to contribute excess funds to another candidate committee...

...but so far nothing has been contributed to another candidate, despite the closeness of a number of elections around the country.

I know neither of my two Senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, haven't gone outside the state to solicit campaign contributions.

[lapucelle]

42. I found an answer.

While it's unlikely that Sanders could spend down his war chest in the three weeks remaining until Election Day, he could legally transfer the balance to a future presidential campaign.

[George II]

43. Thanks. Very interesting. I found it curious that he has 135X the money that his Senate opponent..

...has, yet he's still raising funds less than two weeks before the election. And from what I can see on FEC.GOV, he hasn't contributed to any other candidate's campaign, at least yet.

[R B Garr]

34. Wow, no help against an incumbent Republican in his own state, but incumbent

Democrats are a real victory like New York, etc. That's a real shame....

[MrsCoffee]

36. How odd that he wouldn't be helping such an historical candidate.

Makes one wonder why he would do such a thing. Not going to be many excuses that make this look any better for him.

40. That woman is tireless - busting her buns to help get Democrats elected or re-elected.

She's been on the front lines for more than 30 years fighting for people and Democrats.

39. I voted for David Garcia!!

[Donkees]

41. Hurray!
