I believe all we need is a large turnout for the midterms GOTV

If a lot more than usual voters vote in the midterms we won’t have any trouble hanging onto our majorities. But historically midterm turnout is low. We need to focus on mobilizing voters.

I've got 100 of the 500 handwritten GOTV postcards ready to mail to voters in NC. Let's hope my trend of contributing to victories in AZ in 2020, and the GA special election for senate continues!

The bulk of the swing state postcards are already assigned for writing, but there is a special "neighborhood" campaign still looking for writers in 7 critical states if you happen to live in one of them: https://www.turnoutpac.org/postcards/

where we know there are a lot of Dem votes that can have an effect on statewide races in swing states. For example, NC has a Dem Governor because of the votes in Mecklenburg and Wake. I send $ to those county Dem parties for GOTV.

Check the swing states. Also states like Ohio if you can get the vote out around Cuyahoga, Cincinnati, and Columbus. That can make the difference for Senate.

Sorry I’m kind of lazy and there are so many places asking for money.
