Stand For America PAC

RJ, Today marks ONE YEAR since Ambassador Haley launched Stand For America PAC.   In honor of our one-year anniversary, we’re asking everyone on our list to pitch in a special contribution by midnight tonight to help our team elect even more conservatives this year. Contribute Now There is nothing the Democratic Party would love more than to see the Republican Party further divided.   It’s true there was no “blue wave” during the 2020 election. And that is because of the great work of conservatives like you who stood for what you believe in.   That’s why having you on our side as we go into this critical midterm year is essential.   Countering the Democrats and their massive fundraising machine will be a huge challenge. But we know if we work together, we can defeat the Left in 10 short months.   That is why I hope I can count on you to join our STAND FOR AMERICA PAC team with a generous donation of $45, $75, or even $100 right now.   We have made too much progress to turn back now.   We must continue to stand for the conservative principles we believe in. And support conservatives who understand what is at stake, who believe America is inherently good, and who understand that the Democrats’ far-left policies undermine our freedoms and American values.   Will you join our team with a special one-year anniversary contribution today?   Sincerely,   Stand For America PAC Team Contribute Now Exclusive Message From Nikki Haley Update on the Next Election   I want to give you a quick update on my plans for the next election. Since launching Stand For America PAC we have financially supported dozens of conservative candidates – including Glenn Youngkin and Jason Miyares in Virginia. Now I’m focused on helping even more Republicans win in the next election, and I want you to play an important part.   If you want to support leaders who believe America is inherently good, and who understand that the Democrats’ far-left policies undermine our freedoms and American values, I’m humbly asking you to join my team today.   Are you with me?

Barbara D. Gaskins Candidate for US Congressional District 3

Greetings,

I am the Progressive Democratic Candidate for US House Congressional District 3. I have deep roots in Eastern NC as I am the only candidate with direct roots within this district. I embody the struggle that Eastern North Carolinians face. I have experienced racism at an early age, when I was offered employment over the phone but denied when I arrived, I was charged with a misdemeanor at the age of 17 and convicted at the age of 18. Even though this was over 21 years ago, I have since obtained a Bachelor’s Degree, a Master’s Degree, and a host of certifications in the fields of mental health, substance use disorders, and criminal justice. But this has not been enough to be forgiven and to achieve the American Dream that we all strive for. Due to this I have a large amount of empathy for those incarcerated, justice involved, and those who are often forgotten.

Having been directly involved in the community for the last 21 years, I have worked to assist disenfranchised individuals and families within the community to obtain resources needed through connecting and linking services to other organizations within the community. This led to me founding a 501C3 based nonprofit in 2019 called NC Community Outreach & Wellness Center Inc. This organization is a 501c3 nonprofit that is founded on the 8 dimensions of wellness (emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, environmental, financial, occupational, social) to give disenfranchised individuals opportunities that aid with reclaiming their lives and overcoming challenges.  All these dimensions contribute to the needs of Eastern North Carolinians, which is why I now feel that the time has come for me to seek elected office.

My descendants were German settlers who settled into Eastern North Carolina and have contributed to founding New Bern NC. My grandmother’s great grandfather was a slave right here in Eastern NC. He was a run-away due to his wife being sold to another plantation. Both my ancestors and forefathers had a vision for their lives right here in the east. I follow in their footsteps, but I want to bring fresh ideas and positive solutions to all Eastern North Carolinians by running for US Congressional District 3.

I have always been very concerned about North Carolina moving into the 21^st century, which is a current problem that we are faced with. I believe there are workable solutions available that will help solve the problems or otherwise address the issue.

I stand strong on the concept that North Carolina must utilize our current imports and exports to move into the 21^st Century. I was amazed to find out that North Carolina brings 34 billion dollars into the economy due to its exports. But I feel that this is not enough. To move forward, NC must invest in its own resources that come from our agriculture, farmers, fishermen, and small businesses.

In addition, I believe that we must invest in updated education such as training or certifications in Commercial Drivers Licenses, Logistics, Entrepreneurship, and 21^st century upgraded jobs. It’s time to revitalize the middle class and step into the future. This includes North Carolina students being able to study abroad and international students being able to enroll into North Carolina colleges. In 2018, 1.2 million jobs were created due to trade and 87% of these jobs came from small businesses. I remember when I was younger that we were taught that the United States was a melting pot, but this is not accurate, the United States is full of various cultures that we can all learn from. North Carolina has the potential to be included in this and to step into its position for economic growth and job creation.

To succeed in this effort, I need to mount an aggressive campaign. My opponent is Greg Murphy, the incumbent who continues to spew hate and separate Eastern North Carolinians. He continues to hold this seat while blatantly failing to uphold the US Constitution. This is our very foundation of what makes the American Dream possible.

This campaign will also require a strong and organized campaign with various grassroots organizations. I have been a very active community advocate and activist fighting for not only democracy in Eastern North Carolina, but I have traveled to DC and other areas to rally and protest for equity for all Americans on various issues such as voting rights, ending the filibuster, criminal justice reform, education, immigration, veterans, and other social/racial injustices.

However, I cannot do this alone. That’s why I am inviting organizations such as yourself to join with me and stand in solidarity by endorsing and contributing to our campaign.

An early contribution of $20,000 made payable to Barbara Gaskins for Congress, will help us reach the initial funds of $1,000,000 needed to launch a solid campaign and increase our reach within the Eastern counties that we need to reach to get our message out to these rural areas. A letter of endorsement is also requested to support our initiatives.

Thank you in advance for your encouragement and support. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Barbara D. Gaskins Candidate for US Congressional District 3

When seeing is believing

A message from our ad partner:

If you only have a minute, please read this! As we observe Sanctity of Human Life month, here’s a quick update from Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, on the progress they’re making in the battle to save even more precious, innocent preborn babies . . . Research shows that when a woman considering abortion receives an ultrasound, she is more likely to choose life. That’s why Focus on the Family is working hard right now to equip pro-life pregnancy medical centers nationwide with ultrasound capability. Then, even more women like Jenn (whose story is told below) can see and hear their baby’s heartbeat. Right now, just $60 can save the life of a preborn baby! Give now to save a life! MAKE A GIFT TO SAVE A LIFE! Hello,   Because I have good reason to believe you’re someone who stands strongly for the sanctity of human life, I’m emailing to let you know how you can save the life of a vulnerable preborn baby right now.   It all starts with a truth that is both encouraging AND undeniable: A woman considering abortion is much more likely to choose life if she is given the chance to see an ultrasound image of her child!   The proof of life is so powerful, so persuasive, so convincing.   That’s how it was for Jenn (I’ve changed her name to protect her privacy).   When she found out she was pregnant, Jenn was convinced she wanted to abort her baby. But she decided to first visit a local pregnancy medical center and have an ultrasound. When the technician did the scan — and this is truly miraculous — the image showed the baby on its knees with its little head bowed down and its little hands clasped . . . almost as if it was praying!   When Jenn saw the ultrasound, she cried out, “The baby looks like it’s praying! How can I think of doing this? I’m a Christian, and my baby is praying.”   The technician hugged Jenn as both wept. As she did, the tech couldn’t help but think, the baby was PRAYING TO LIVE! Praying to live: Ultrasound image of preborn baby It’s amazing what hearing and seeing that precious life can do to an abortion-determined woman. Research shows that when a woman receives counseling and an ultrasound, she is more likely to choose life for her baby.   That’s why we’re committed to making ultrasounds available to even more women seeking abortions.   Right now, just $60 can save the life of a preborn baby like Jenn’s through Focus on the Family’s Option Ultrasound program.   Your gift will help provide a pregnancy medical center with an ultrasound machine, sonography training for nurses, and other resources. You’ll help an abortion-vulnerable mom like Jenn meet her baby and be moved to choose life. Please give now. Your gift can save lives and protect vulnerable moms who need care, compassion, and the opportunity to see and hear the truth about the preborn lives growing within them. Thank you! Jim Daly President, Focus on the Family MAKE A GIFT TO SAVE A LIFE! Focus on the Family 8605 Explorer Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80920 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459)

I’m Running | Todd Young for U.S. Senate

Nikki Haley

RJ, I just announced my first endorsement of 2022 and I need your help.   Congresswoman Young Kim is a tireless advocate for the people of her district and fights every day to stop Nancy Pelosi’s disastrous agenda. She’s working to strengthen American leadership and counter Communist China.   We have got to make sure she is reelected in November, but she has a tough race ahead. I’m hoping I can count on you to step up and support Young Kim right away. Support Young Kim Now Last year she flipped a Democrat-held district and I know she can win again this November. But it won’t be easy. She’s going to need help from top conservatives across the country to get her over the finish line.   That’s why I’m reaching out to you with this urgent request. Will you rush a contribution to Young Kim’s reelection campaign in the next HOUR to help her win in November?   As one of our most loyal conservatives, I’m counting on you to step up.   Will you step up and help this incredible leader keep her seat in 2022?   My very best, Nikki Haley Contribute Now Copyright © 2021 Stand For America PAC, All rights reserved.

Alzheimer’s Association Statement on 11 January CMS Draft Decision

This message is sent to all Alzheimer’s Association and Alzheimer’s Impact Movement board members, all Alzheimer’s Association staff, Zenith Society members and volunteers and supporters of AIM and the Alzheimer’s Association.   Good evening, This afternoon, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its draft decision on coverage for monoclonal antibodies targeting amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. As you’ll recall, the first of these treatments — aducanumab or Aduhuelm — was approved by the FDA last June. A press release from CMS regarding today’s draft decision can be found here. Today’s announcement from CMS is shocking discrimination against everyone with Alzheimer’s disease, especially those who are already disproportionately impacted by this fatal disease, including women, Blacks and Hispanics. With the approach proposed by CMS, access to treatment would now only be available to a privileged few — those with access to research institutions — exacerbating and creating further health inequities. In issuing its decision CMS had the audacity to cite the Alzheimer’s Association 2021 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report on the challenges and barriers underrepresented communities have in participating in clinical trials, and then propose to impose those very barriers on those seeking treatment for Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association unequivocally believes that people living with Alzheimer’s disease deserve the same access to therapies given to those living with other conditions like cancer, heart disease and HIV/AIDS. For those in the Administration to treat those with Alzheimer’s disease differently than those with other diseases is simply unacceptable. Critically, this draft decision is not about one treatment but about this class of potential future treatments targeting amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This draft decision appears focused on an individual treatment rather than a class which is not what CMS set out to do. CMS must change this draft decision. They must ensure equitable access for all who could benefit from FDA-approved treatments. We call on CMS to not only listen, but hear the needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers. This fight isn’t over. We’ll continue to demand equitable access to treatment for all who would benefit. And we will continue to keep you informed on next steps as CMS works toward its final decision. Harry Johns Chief Executive Officer CONNECT WITH US Alzheimer’s Association 225 N.
