Donate | Dinner With Barack Obama
Helmut --
If you're planning on donating to this campaign at any point in the next 16 months, you should do it now.
Tonight at midnight is not just your last chance to enter the "Dinner with Barack and Joe" contest, it's also a hugely important fundraising deadline for this campaign -- the first time we'll report on our progress to the public and the press.
The next few hours are critical for us. Please donate $5 or more today:
Come next fall, people might not remember this date -- or make the connection between the strength of our campaign then and the steps we took in these early months. But anyone worth their salt in politics knows tonight is one of the most important tests we'll face as a campaign this year. Let's hit it out of the park.
Thanks,
Messina

Fact Sheet: National Strategy for Counterterrorism | The White House
“As a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.”
--President Barack Obama

The National Strategy for Counterterrorism, found here, http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/counterterrorism_strategy.pdf formalizes the approach that President Obama and his Administration have been pursuing and adapting for the past two and half years to prevent terrorist attacks and to deliver devastating blows against al-Qa’ida, including the successful mission to kill Usama bin Laden.
Rather than defining our entire national security policy, this counterterrorism strategy is one part of President Obama’s larger National Security Strategy, which seeks to advance our enduring national security interests, including our security, prosperity, respect for universal values and global cooperation to meet global challenges.
This Strategy builds upon the progress we have made in the decade since 9/11, in partnership with Congress, to build our counterterrorism and homeland security capacity as a nation. It neither represents a wholesale overhaul—nor a wholesale retention—of previous policies and strategies.
Threat—This Strategy recognizes there are numerous nations and groups that support terrorism to oppose U.S. interests, including Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and HAMAS, and we will use the full range of our foreign policy tools to protect the United States against these threats.
However, the principal focus of this counterterrorism strategy is the network that poses the most direct and significant threat to the United States—al-Qa’ida, its affiliates and its adherents.
- Al-Qa’ida has murdered thousands of our citizens, including on 9/11.
- Al-Qa’ida affiliates—groups that have aligned with al-Qa’ida—have attempted to attack us, such as Yemen-based al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) failed attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound airliner on December 25, 2009.
- Al-Qa’ida adherents—individuals, sometimes American citizens, who cooperate with or are inspired by al-Qa’ida—have engaged in terrorism, including the tragic slaughter of our service members at Fort Hood in 2009.
Our Ultimate Objective—This Strategy is clear and precise in our ultimate objective: we will disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately defeat al-Qa’ida—its leadership core in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, its affiliates and adherents to ensure the security of our citizens and interests.
Our Posture—We are at war. We are waging a broad, sustained, integrated and relentless campaign that harnesses every element of American power to defeat al-Qa’ida.
Our Goals--To defeat al-Qa’ida, we are pursuing specific counterterrorism goals, including:
- Protecting our homeland by constantly reducing our vulnerabilities and adapting and updating our defenses.
- Disrupting, degrading, dismantling and defeating al-Qa’ida wherever it takes root.
- Preventing terrorists from acquiring or developing weapons of mass destruction.
- Eliminating the safehavens al-Qa’ida needs to train, plot and launch attacks against us.
- Degrading links between al-Qa’ida, its affiliates and adherents.
- Countering al-Qa’ida ideology and its attempts to justify violence.
- Depriving al-Qa’ida and its affiliates of their enabling means, including illicit financing, logistical support, and online communications.
Our Principles—Our pursuit of these goals is guided by several key principles, including:
- Upholding core American values, including rule of law and the privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties of all Americans;
- Harnessing every tool at our disposal, including intelligence, military, homeland security and law enforcement, and maximizing cooperation between communities;
- Building partnerships to with international institutions and partners so that nations can take the fight to al-Qa’ida, its affiliates and adherents in their own countries;
- Applying tools appropriately, recognizing that different threats in different regions demand different tools;
- Building a culture of preparedness and resilience at home to prevent terrorist attacks and ensure we can quickly recover should an attack occur.
Devastating Blows Against Al-Qa’ida—guided by this Strategy, we have achieved significant progress against al-Qa’ida over the past two and a half years.
- We have put al-Qa’ida under more pressure than at any time since 9/11, affecting its ability to attract new recruits and making it harder for al-Qa’ida to train and plot attacks.
- Al-Qa’ida’s leadership ranks have been decimated, with more key leaders eliminated in rapid succession than at any time since 9/11.
- Virtually every major al-Qa’ida affiliate has lost its key leader or operational commander.
- More than half of al-Qa’ida’s leadership has been eliminated, including Usama bin Laden
“On a Path to Defeat”¬ —As President Obama stated in his June 22 remarks on our way forward in Afghanistan, “we have put al Qaeda on a path to defeat, and we will not relent until the job is done.”
- Information seized from his compound reveals bin Laden’s concerns about al-Qa’ida’s long-term viability.
- Bin Laden clearly saw that al-Qa’ida is losing the larger battle for hearts and minds.
- Bin Laden knew that he had failed to portray America as being at war with Islam.
- He knew that al-Qa’ida’s murder of so many innocent civilians, most of them Muslims, had deeply and perhaps permanently tarnished al-Qa’ida’s image in the world.

Berlin: Koalition legt Gesetzentwurf zu Wahlrecht vor
Berlin: Koalition legt Gesetzentwurf zu Wahlrecht vor
Berlin 20. Juni 2011: (hib/STO) Nach den drei Oppositionsfraktionen hat auch die Koalition einen Gesetzentwurf zur Änderung des Wahlrechts in Deutschland vorgelegt, der am Donnerstag (30. Juni 2011) erstmals auf der Tagesordnung des Bundestagsplenums steht. Mit der Vorlage reagieren die Abgeordneten auf ein Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vom 3. Juli 2008, in dem der Gesetzgeber verpflichtet wurde, das Wahlrecht ”spätestens bis zum 30. Juni 2011“ zu reformieren.
Wie die Karlsruher Richter in ihrer Entscheidung (Az: 2 BvC 1/07, 2 BvC 7/07) urteilten, verstößt das Bundeswahlgesetz punktuell gegen die Verfassung, weil ”ein Zuwachs an Zweitstimmen zu einem Verlust an Sitzen der Landeslisten oder ein Verlust an Zweitstimmen zu einem Zuwachs an Sitzen der Landeslisten führen kann“. Dieser paradoxe Effekt des sogenannten negativen Stimmgewichts tritt im Zusammenhang mit Überhangmandaten auf, die Parteien erhalten, wenn sie in einem Land mehr Direktmandate erringen, als ihnen laut Zweitstimmenergebnis zusteht.
In ihrem Gesetzentwurf (17/6290) schlagen die CDU/CSU- und die FDP-Fraktion vor, die bisher mögliche Verbindung von Landeslisten einer Partei abzuschaffen. Damit könnten die in einem Bundesland errungenen Zweitstimmen einer Partei nicht mehr mit den in einem anderen Land erzielten Zweitstimmen verrechnet werden. Wie die Abgeordneten schreiben, wird durch den Verzicht auf Listenverbindungen die Häufigkeit des Auftretens des negativen Stimmgewichts ”erheblich reduziert“. Ergänzt werden soll die Neuregelung der Vorlage zufolge ”um eine Sitzverteilung auf der Grundlage von Sitzkontingenten der Länder, die sich nach der Anzahl der Wähler in den Ländern bestimmen“
. Das Verfahren für die Verteilung der nach Landeslisten zu besetzenden Abgeordnetensitze bleibe damit zweistufig ausgestaltet, heißt es in dem Entwurf: ”In einem ersten Schritt wird die Zahl der Sitze ermittelt, die von der Gesamtzahl der Sitze im Deutschen Bundestag auf jedes Land entfällt; in einem zweiten Schritt werden die auf ein Land entfallenden Sitze auf die dort zu berücksichtigenden Landeslisten verteilt.“ Ist die Zahl der Zweitstimmen einer Partei, die in den 16 Bundesländern nicht zu einem Sitz geführt haben, größer als die im Bundesdurchschnitt für einen Mandat erforderliche Stimmenzahl, sollen laut Gesetzentwurf zum Ausgleich weitere Mandate vergeben werden.
EU erleichtert über Entscheidung in Athen
EU erleichtert über Entscheidung in Athen
29.06.2011 Die Mehrheit der griechischen Abgeordneten hat dem Sparpaket von Ministerpräsident Georgios Papandreou zugestimmt.
EU-Kommissionspräsident José Manual Barroso und der Präsident des Europäischen Rats Herman Van Rompuy begrüßten die Entscheidung des Athener Parlaments. "Mit seiner heutigen Zustimmung zum überarbeiteten Wirtschaftsprogramm durch das griechische Parlament hat das Land einen wesentlichen Schritt in Richtung Haushaltskonsolidierung und Wachstumsförderung gemacht. Gleichzeitig hat es einen entscheidenden Schritt zurück getan - weg von dem bedrohlichen Szenario eines Bankrotts", betonten die beiden Präsidenten. "Dies war ein Votum der nationalen Verantwortung."

Helmut --
We're closing the books on the first fundraising quarter of the 2012 race at midnight tomorrow.
A lot of folks will be interpreting our numbers as a measure of this campaign's support.
They're not wrong, but they are wrong about why.
We measure our success not in dollars but in people -- in the number of everyday Americans who've chosen to give whatever they can afford because they know we've got more work to do.
I'm asking you to be one of them. Please donate $5 or more before midnight tonight:
https://donate.barackobama.com/Deadline
Thank you,
Barack
P.S. -- Your gift automatically enters you to join the Vice President and me for dinner. We'd love to meet you. Please donate here:
