ICYMI: They're actually suing the President!

It is fast approaching my bedtime and I am still forwarding this massive glut of emails I am getting from the Democratic National Committee asking for money.

They must realize at some point that this approach is counter-productive.

Christine --  Yesterday, Speaker Boehner and House leadership did something that's never been done in American history: They voted to sue the President.  What's certain is that this is an utter waste of time and millions of taxpayer dollars.  But it gets crazier -- this opens the door for extreme voices in Congress to call for impeachment. I wish that was as unbelievable as it sounds. But look at John Boehner's track record: He let an extreme minority shut down the government, gave them more than 50 votes trying to derail Obamacare, and now he's letting them call the shots over a wasteful lawsuit. This isn't going to stop unless the American people demand it --right now, add your name to tell John Boehner you're fed up with this nonsense. As grassroots organizers who are working for real change that actually helps people, what's most frustrating is that political stunts like this lawsuit only make it more unlikely that they'll get something meaningful done. John Boehner is the Speaker of the House. That's a job that should mean something -- the chance to fix problems and tackle the issues that the American people sent you there to do. Instead, he's one of the biggest reasons this is the least productive Congress in modern history.  That's pretty shameful, and what just happened yesterday on Capitol Hill is making matters worse. Add your name to tell John Boehner to knock off the political games and get something done: http://my.barackobama.com/John-Boehner-Lawsuit Thanks, Abby Abby Witt Deputy National Director of Issue Campaigns Organizing for Action

Another troublesome email from the Democratic National Committee, or the Democratic Party, or something like that.  It seems that these emails will never end.

It is rumored that President Obama has this massive list of emails that he can use after leaving office.  These are emails of people who supported him politically, and made the dread mistake of filling out of form.

If what I am experiencing is anything like that annoyance and harassment he plans to wield in the future, he's shooting himself in the foot.

bad news to share

My dear friend, Nancy Pelosi, is down in the dumps.  See, her vowed enemies are raising money.  That means she has to beg for money, too.  How unfortunate for those of us on her email list.

I decided I am going to post every single annoying email that the Democratic National Committee send me.  Here's the latest.

I have some bad news to share: This morning -- just one day after Republicans voted to sue President Obama -- Speaker Boehner was shaking down his Tea Party Republicans for last-minute cash. He's trying to beat us in the final moments before tonight's fundraising deadline. This is going to come all the way down to the wire. Right now, we're coming up 4,759 short of our goal -- and we have less than 3 hours to get there. Christine, we CANNOT let Boehner surpass us.

BREAKING: House Republicans abandon refugee children

The refugee children is a humanitarian and moral crisis.  But when this message arrives with all the other hysterical please for money and action, it has no effect.  Well, that's not quite true.  It has the effect of trivializing the lives of the children, as they are piled together with all the other crying from the Democratic Party.

Christine --

"I don't want to go back to my country because I don't want to die."

That's what 15-year-old Saul Martinez told Congressional officials last Tuesday. Saul is just one voice speaking for tens of thousands of children who are trapped on the U.S. border right now after fleeing unthinkable violence in their home countries.

Republicans want Americans to think this is a border crisis -- but it isn't.

These children are refugees fighting to stay alive. They've come to America for our help and sending them home or not is literally a question of life or death. Yet House Republicans couldn't muster the political will to take any action at all to help them, thanks to the meddling of Sen. Ted Cruz and other hardcore Tea Party politicians.

It's time to stop letting Republicans play politics with children's lives. If Congress won't act, President Obama must.

Don't let racists in Congress hold back lifesaving services from child refugees in need. Tell President Obama to reclassify unaccompanied minors from violent Central American countries as refugees and send in FEMA to provide emergency food, water, and shelter immediately.

If the President leads, Americans will support him.

A new poll released Tuesday by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 69% of Americans believe that children from violent Central American countries should be treated as refugees and be allowed to stay here.

That's right, 7 in 10 Americans think these children deserve proper shelter -- in homes, not detention centers -- and legal assistance while we find long-term solutions to their situation.

But this polling shouldn't be a surprise. Americans have a long history of helping refugees escaping violent, dangerous, and corrupt regimes. Just over 30 years ago, over 125,000 refugees escaped from Cuba during the Mariel boatlift and were received with open arms. The U.S. government even orchestrated the acceptance of over 14,000 Cuban children during "Operation Peter Pan."

We did it then, because we did what was right. Americans know that children are not "invaders" -- no matter what the Tea Party would have them believe. Now, it's up to President Obama to act.

Tell the Obama Administration to stand with the American people now: Stop treating the children at the border like criminals who need to be punished. Give them the refugee status they deserve and the humanitarian care they need.

Reports from detention centers are appalling. Children being kept in kennels. Tent cities in desert heat with not enough water or supplies.

That's not who we are as Americans. There's simply no excuse for Democrats to be cowed by Republicans trying to make this about politics. We are better than that -- and it is well past time for the administration to take action and prove it.

Christine, we’re begging

At first, I thought it was far-sighted for President Obama to capture the emails and social media contacts for all his supporters.  

Of course, at the time there was no indication of the flood of pleas and cajoling yet to arrive.

Do I speak for anyone else when I say Leave Me Alone?

Christine -- Just about everyone on the planet is emailing you. It's because the FEC deadline in 10 hours will decide President Obama's future. Last night, John Boehner and the Tea Party chose to sue the President for the first time in history. Now you need to choose: Are you going to let them tear apart President Obama, or will you stand behind your President? President Obama called this, "the most important moment you and I have faced yet." We're begging for your help -- otherwise, Boehner and the Tea Party win. Will you stand behind the President?

About five of them arrive a day. Every day.
