**If you are overwhelmed by the news of the day, why not focus on CA RECALL & DO some calling**

I have spent time previously with various Democratic groups making 2020 calls throughout the country. So, if you want to feel as though you are putting some of your worry (about EVERYTHING) into constructive efforts, why not join me and volunteer to assist in keeping CA sane. I'm a Coloradoan through and through, but I want to keep California among our buffer states--thereby avoiding the insanity of the northern tier Trumper states from infiltrating. Thanks to CrispyQ and other DUers who are already in on the effort!

Here's one group (there are others).

And BEFORE you start, take a look at this video to both motivate you and to help answer undecided questions/concerns about Newsome. It really is an excellent video:

1. I don't know why,

but some people need a reminder of how important even small elections are. I definitely have a few hours a week for the next few weeks, to support Governor Newsom.

Thanks for the link & vid!

3. It is very hard to stay actively involved, but I think it has the benefit of feeling less helpless

about every really bad thing going on that seems totally out of our control.

I hope DUers will support this effort. I honestly am scared shitless about what would happen in the midterms if the RW prevails in California. --Just inconsolable about that possibility.

4. The most chilling thing I heard about this recall is that if Larry Elder gets installed

And He has to replace Diane Feinstein he could pick his protégée Steven Miller as the new Senator to replace her. This scared the crap out of me!
