she's an amazing, brilliant woman who got robbed (this one was for real!) by your current governor when he erased/stole so many voters from the election (gee, where have we heard THAT idea before?).
I've sent money to support her campaign - we (not just Georgia, but ALL of America) NEED her to be a leader for her party, her state, and her country!

6. I wish we had three of her here in Texas--it's a big state.

We need her organizing skills to finally turn Texas blue. Beto is working hard, but he faces an uphill battle to overcome the votes of the rural crazies as well as the cheating Republicans are planning.

She is an amazing woman who never seems to run out of energy and commitment to our party. I really hope Georgians GOTV and make her their governor!

11. someone point out to her campaign kemp depends on 3 Ga universities not hearing complaints

about supporting 14 x-Limbaugh radio stations - attacking her and opposing democrats on every issue - abortion, gun safety, voter suppression, racism, anti LGBTQ, and so on


GEORGIA 14 Georgia 7, Georgia Tech 5, Georgia Southern 2

the unis have no excuse. all it would take is for her or someone with clout to question it in public and advertisers will head for the hills, putting the only unique advantage republicans have in jeopardy. the radio ad cos would have to try to break up the monopoly before they lost too many advertisers.

the extra attention from media and activists would expose the republicans secret weapon and kemp would have no chance. and if a few unis did it others around the country would follow.

Kemp has several things to make ads about even if he had little to do with them. Plus incumbency & some unfortunate wording in interviews by Stacy

14. I think Democrats need to get better at persuasion and less on cancelling

I think what makes her such a formidable candidate is she can move to the center and keep the base. Obama is another example of this skill. Democrats go wrong when they do the feak out cancelling whining snowflake stuff and become progressive purists absolutists. They do much better when they focus on bread and butter issues and defend labor against management. That means not attacking stand up comedians and acting like knee jerk reactionary thin skinned Karens. Look up "Daphne Dorman" for a good example of what I am talking about. These zealots have turned progressives into a joke. It is a serious turn off and will cost us politically in a big way.

Signed,

The Frank Zappa wing of the Democratic Party
