Some Tweets from Cory Booker

    Our end-of-year fundraising deadline is tonight. We haven't hit our $800,000 goal—but we're close. This is a make-or-break moment for our campaign. I mean it when I say we cannot miss this goal. Chip in before midnight to help put us over the top:
  • So grateful for and humbled by & her powerful words today—to make change happen in this country we must put in the work & support Democrats who can inspire our base to get folks out & vote. Thank you to everyone who joined us today in Walterboro, South Carolina.
  • We need to bring more dignity and choice to long-term care in America—I have a plan to do that:
  • The stronger the coalition, the greater the victory. The more inclusive the coalition, the greater the victory. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Rock Hill, South Carolina—the only way we’re going to win this election is by doing it together.
  • This report is disturbing. As a nation, we must move to a 100% carbon-neutral economy as quickly as possible—and I’ve outlined how we can get this done:
  • The devastating Australian bushfires are taking lives, destroying homes and displacing communities. Hundreds of millions of animals are estimated to have been killed and entire species could be wiped out. This is a crisis and should be front-page news. Please help out if you can.
  • Yes, the challenge before us this year is to beat Trump, but it’s more than that—to unite our country. Grateful for my friend & the Granite Staters who joined us in Nashua today to show us that unity will always be our strength.
  • We have a president who has no strategic plan when it comes to Iran and has only made that region less stable and less safe. More thoughts:

    Thank you, Exeter! – at Exeter High School
     
  • Nearly one year ago, we made our campaign's very first trip to Iowa. Since then, I've stood in countless rooms just like this one, hearing people share what matters most to their communities. 32 more days until the Caucuses. 32 more days to leave it all on the field.
  • Many Americans will need long-term care at some point in their lives—and many will be caregivers themselves. The need for care is only growing. We must take steps to expand access to quality, affordable long-term care, and I have a plan to do that:
  • We need to get big money out of our politics. It's why I refuse to accept a dime in donations from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists. We must overturn Citizens United, which has become one of the most disastrous Supreme Court decisions of our time.
  • I’m going to miss seeing my friend on the trail. Thank you, Julián, for bringing your ideas and leadership to this race—your voice and campaign were invaluable in sticking up for underrepresented communities and pushing the field forward.
  • We must expand access to quality, affordable long-term care in this country. It's disturbing how tens of thousands of Iowans currently in LTC facilities & their caregivers are being hurt by this broken system. Here's how we fix it:
  • Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
  • No one in America should die because they can't afford the medication they need to live. As president, I’ll take on the big drug companies that profit off of people's pain. My proposal would hold drug companies accountable and lower drug prices so they are affordable for all.

    🔥Hot damn. Team has raised more this quarter than any previous quarter. 🔥 The only way change happens is all of us pulling together. Keep on pulling:
  • Thank you for your friendship and overly generous words. You're now my favorite candidate in this race whose last name starts with B.
  • We need a new Voting Rights Act that will: —End gerrymandering —Restore Section 5 of the VRA —Make Election Day a federal holiday There's no way we're going to change discriminatory policies if we don't even have equal access to the ballot.
  • Here are the things we can do if we raise $800,000 before the end of the year: ✅ Keep our TV ads on the air in Iowa ✅ Fund more ads in the other early states ✅ Hire more staff and scale up in additional states Donate now to help us hit our big goal:
  • We need to get to a place in this country where abortion, contraception, and reproductive freedom are not looked at as conditional care, but a health right for all.
  • I'm not a billionaire, so my campaign can't afford to blanket the airwaves with campaign ads—but I'm so grateful for our grassroots donors who have stepped up to help us raise enough to start running TV ads in Iowa. Help us keep spreading our message:
  • We can't have “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” if we don’t have health care for everyone. If every woman doesn’t have the freedom to control her own body. If so many work full-time jobs but still live below the poverty line. We must live up to our nation's ideals.
  • With the rising cost of living in our country, we must do more to help working Americans pay their bills and take care of their loved ones. My Rise Credit would give up to $4,000 per year to a single-income home and $8,000 per year to a married couple.
