What are you doing to get Democrats elected in November?

For years I felt pretty helpless to do anything but vote. I’m blessed to live in Barbara Lee’s district so I knew good Dems would win. I finally decided I had to do something about other states. Since 2020, I’ve made calls to other states. It’s not fun, exactly, but it’s not hard either, and I can live with myself.

Anyone with a smart phone and a computer can do it. If you have the funds, you can donate. I have a friend who loves knocking on doors. You could simply make sure your friends and family all vote.

It’s time we all decide what extra we can do.

I also try and get at least 2 non-voters that I know personally to the polls.

I’ll do what I did in 2020 & 2021: go out on the doors, write postcards to voters, phone bank, & donate.

I’ve already been door knocking for the recent primary election. I’ve donated money too.

I did for the two Senate seats, and we won. The people of GA deserve our support.
