That video was...wow....so powerful. It brought tears to my eyes.

Many thanks again, Jessica, for your superb newsletters and much-needed words of encouragement. I finished 700 postcards, first batch mailed today. Just keep swimming, as Dory said in Finding Nemo.

you are amazing! This is Denise Petersen, from Northwestern long ago. I’ve been watching you on Mandy Patinkin’s IG for a while, knowing it was you but not trusting myself. I texted Jonathan the other day to confirm. You rock! So very grateful for all that you do!

I voted in Georgia today!! Almost cried it’s such an important election. (And it only took 51 minutes from start of line to exit - time well spent!).

Thank you for this Jessica, I needed this pep talk today! Signed up for a Yes on 4 text bank. I also just signed up to canvass for the first time ever - there's a group of 22 of us from my town in MA heading to PA 11/2-3 to remind infrequent Democratic voters to return their mail-in ballots. Your canvassing post gave me the little extra push!

Jess - always appreciate your positivity. We need to spend the message that Democrats need to stop freaking out. There are corrupted polls out there.

Dems have to stop this. It is demoralizing. When someone does, I think we have to gently point out that this is an unhealthy cycle and ask them to Do Something and steer them in the right direction!

That's my mantra these days. I refuse to get into this woe is us mentality. We've got work to do!

I 100% agree. Do more and worry less.

I signed up for a Yes on 4 textbank and adopted some more FL Vote Forward letters (that highlight Amendment 4).

Always both timely and practical, Jess. Thank you!

Love the water drop analogy and the photo shows the power that a gagillion, billion,

trillion times a million trillion can do!

Let’s all call George W Bush and leave a friendly message asking him to stand for Democracy, the Constitution, Rule of Law etc……
