Barack’s birthday is this weekend..

 

Barack’s birthday is this weekend, and I want your help to make it extra special: let’s surprise him with a card filled with warm birthday wishes from you and the rest of the Obama Foundation’s incredible community of supporters. I hope you’ll join me for this budding tradition I’ve put together here at the Foundation—can you take a moment to sign Barack’s card celebrating his 63rd birthday? SEND YOUR BIRTHDAY MESSAGE TO BARACK For as long as I’ve known him, Barack has always believed in the power of what people can do when we come together. It’s something he learned in his days as a community organizer, and it’s what fueled his time as a senator and his presidency. The mission of the Obama Foundation is rooted in that same idea—that nothing is more powerful than millions of people taking action for positive change. That’s why I know nothing would make him happier than to hear from you and the rest of the generous Obama Foundation community on his birthday. Will you help me wish Barack a happy birthday by signing his birthday card and leaving him a special birthday message? Birthdays are a natural time to reflect, so I know all of the Foundation’s work will be on Barack’s mind. Over these past few years, together we’ve launched dynamic cohorts of young leaders around the globe. We’ve worked to help adolescent girls complete the education they deserve through the Girls Opportunity Alliance. We’ve empowered and mentored boys and young men of color through the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance. We launched the Voyager Scholarship, the Obama-Chesky Scholarship for Public Service, to provide college students interested in public service with an opportunity to learn and travel the world. Your support of the Obama Foundation makes all this work possible. That’s why a birthday wish from you will make his day! Thank you for your continued support—I hope to see your name on his birthday card when we deliver it to him this weekend. —Michelle Michelle Obama SIGN BARACK’S BIRTHDAY CARD

Ανακοίνωση του Γραφείου Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας

 

Αθήνα, 2 Αυγούστου 2024   Ανακοίνωση του Γραφείου Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας   Ο Παύλος Πολάκης που παραμένει «στέλεχος του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ με έργο, αντιπολιτευτική ισχύ και ανιδιοτελή παρουσία που όλοι γνωρίζουν», όπως τον χαρακτήρισε μετά την μισή και υποκριτική διαγραφή του από την ΚΟ ο κ. Κασσελάκης, ανήρτησε εκ νέου σήμερα παλαιότερο κείμενό του με προγραφές δημοσιογράφων και δικαστικών για να καταδείξει πόσο «δικαιώθηκε».   Τέλος τα αστειάκια και το κρυφτό με τις μισές διαγραφές και την εκθείαση του κ. Πολάκη. Αν ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και ο κ. Κασσελάκης δεν πάρουν ξεκάθαρη θέση και δεν καταδικάσουν στην πράξη τον κ. Πολάκη διαγράφοντάς τον από μέλος του κόμματός του, τότε και η σημερινή του άθλια επίθεση στο κράτος δικαίου και σε δημοσιογράφους αποτελεί επίσημη θέση Κασσελάκη.   Για μια ακόμα φορά αποδεικνύεται ότι ο μόνος από τον οποίο κινδυνεύει το κράτος δικαίου στη χώρα μας είναι οι ιδέες του κ. Πολάκη, που συνεχίζουν δυστυχώς να αποτελούν την κεντρική γραμμή του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ.
