Dear Senator Kamala Harris,
While I support much of your work and many of your positions, I am
saddened to learn that you are not fiercely supportive of the return
of stolen land by Israel back to Palestine, and an end to the
encroachment onto lands already owned by Palestinians. I have watched
our Government dance around the room with Israel while treating the
Arab Population in Israel as if they were the ugly sisters. It's past
time for us Americans to demand that any nation we do business with
must respect all its people as equal. And it's far past time that we
Americans, especially White Americans, take a stand and do no business
with those corporations that do not treat all Americans with respect.
Far too long we have been playing games with our laws, protecting the
White Oligarchy and forcing our citizens of Color to live in Third
World Conditions.
Please tell me what you are doing toward that end.
And tell me what the Democratic Party is doing to once again represent
the American Working Class. I have stopped calling myself a Democrat
after the disgraceful behavior of the Party that once stood for
working class citizens. Even at its best, this Party of the People
discriminated against many of the very people it called upon to
support its candidates and programs.
I am eager to support a new face on the national level, and you do
have many solid points, but until I see strong statements from you,
supporting All the People who are now being held down, I will continue
to search for other choices.

Hi, Carl --
This is an inflection moment in the history of our country where we as
a nation need to look ourselves in the mirror and ask: "Who are we?"
Every single one of us can form the answer to that question by
participating in the 2018 midterm election. The fate of our country
is in our hands -- and it's up to us to decide which direction we
will take.
Next year, we have a critical opportunity to show our nation is ready
to move forward. To show that we will fight for our ideals of justice,
equality, and tolerance.
Today, I am asking you to join that fight because our work starts now.
Not next week, or next month, or next November. It starts now, so I
am asking you today:
Make a $3 contribution before the end-of-year fundraising deadline
on Sunday to show you are ready to fight in 2018. Your contribution
will help elect Democrats in all 50 states who will work to get our
country back on track:
http://my.democrats.org/2017-Deadline
This is a moment in time that requires us to fight for our values --
especially in the face of elected officials who think leadership is about
division and hate. I believe we are better than that.
We must create a system where all people have access to affordable
health care. It should not matter where you live, how much money
you make, or whether you have a pre-existing condition. Health
care is a right -- and all people deserve quality care.
We must reform the criminal justice system to ensure it treats everyone
fairly and does not disproportionately arrest and incarcerate people of
color. That means fighting Jeff Sessions' attempts to revive the failed
war on drugs and reforming the cash bail system that stacks the deck
against low-income folks.
We must stand up for immigrants -- including the young people who
depend on DACA and have earned the right to stay in the country they
call home. We made a promise to DREAMers and it is our responsibility
to hold up our end of the deal.
We have a fight in front of us. But we can win it if we stand together,
united.
Contribute $3 or more ahead of Sunday's deadline if you are ready to elect
Democrats everywhere who will stand up for our values. We can't do it
without you:
http://my.democrats.org/2017-Deadline
Together, we'll make calls, knock doors, text, tweet, and march to remind
our neighbors, friends, and family members that the future of our country
is in our hands.
Thanks for all you do.
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
