I've already sent 400 postcards for Josh Harder, Christy Smith, Jay Chen and Adam Frisch and have another 200 Postcards to Swing States going out today. I have 470 Vote Forward letters and Climate (Greenpeace) letters going out tomorrow. I've been texting mostly with NexGen America. If anyone is in Northeast Los Angeles, I have two extra Karen Bass lawn signs to give away.

Thank you, Jessica, for your unrelenting positivity! I agree that we are being discounted, as the silent majority always is. Let's take heart that we are in it for the short and the long haul. Many hours between now and when the polls officially open on November 8. The record number of early voters is fantastic -- go Blue!!

Erica you’re very impressive. I only sent 145 letters through vote forward. my boyfriend keeps commending me but I wish he would take action too. However last night he told me that he has answered the phone for all the unknown callers because he knows I’ve also been making calls. And he thinks about the live person on the other end of the phone caring about the election. I think the more we tell people about what we’re doing the more they feel inspired (or possibly guilty for not doing more of themselves). Like I do now, seeing that some people have written many hundreds of postcards.

Perhaps the "Defense of Marriage Act" is not the best name for a law protecting same sex marriage considering the same name was used back in the 90's to attack same-sex marriage.

The latest out of Punditville is the "news" that "victorious Republicans will not seek Biden's impeachment". How gracious of the powers that be!

You're the best! Thank you for all of this - I feel the same as you about this election. Also, just donated to Down Home and shared on Twitter and Facebook.💙

About Dreama Caldwell of Down Home NC and her award-winning video … just as Jess says, truly inspiring! I first saw it and heard Dreama speak of her work when David Henry and the Senate Circle team hosted a recent event. So impressionable. I’ve spoken about Dreama, and the video several times since.

And, want to thank you, Jess AND your readers who attended the Force Multiplier House Party last night. It was awesome to have members of this community join us! And they heard about it through your post. TY for your generosity and wisdom. We trust you. YOU energize and inspire in ways you may not know!
