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.

The Democratic Party
-----------------------
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
