This morning I made follow up calls to people we registered to vote over the past couple of months to make sure they knew early voting started today & to see if they needed a ride to the polls. One young man was distraught because he lost his drivers license & he thought he couldn’t vote. I was able to explain to him about alternative acceptable forms of ID and gave him the address of the closest early voting center. He was ecstatic and so grateful for the phone call. You all, #EveryVoteCounts

North Carolina is leading the way. Harris, Walz, Stein, Jeff Jackson, even Shelane Etchison, the independent, has a shot. Dump Trump, Dump Trump, Dump Donald Trump; Dump Trump Tarheels, Dump Trump Tar Heels. Tar Heels, Tar Heels, Dump Trump.

Our 5 Day Mission to Victory

I was never in the military, but the past 10 days and the next 5 are probably as close as I'll ever come to understanding the "fog of war".

Right now we don't know if we're winning or losing and everyone is terrified by the prospect of losing.

We don't know enough about the other guys numbers, their strategy or understand their anger even though we've been struggling against them for 8 years.

We can't be sure if our actions for the next five days will get us to victory.

What we do have is HOPE and ENERGY!

We know our Mission: WIN ON NOV 5.

Elections are a numbers game and we have two BIG advantages.

1. Aligned with our Constitution and described in its Bill of Rights, our cause is just and right. Our victory will safeguard our country and benefit the future of ALL Americans. Our loss will bring America into a dark, dark time.

2. Kamala inherited this battle with a 7 million vote advantage and seems to have held +90% of that advantage together. Her miraculous campaign may have added 10-12 million new voters. This should be enough for victory.

But sadly, the impossible to ignore "wrong, biased polls" keep saying this race is still a tie.

So our mission is to Get Out Every Potential Democratic Vote We Can by Nov 5!! Period!!

If we have 500,000 volunteers calling voters, knocking doors and lit dropping across 7 swing states for the next 5 days AND each volunteer adds just 3 forgotten votes to the total, we can increase Kamala's vote total by 1,500,000 votes on Nov 5. That's 20,000-25,000 votes in each state, more than enough to WIN In a race as close as this year's.

There are two aphorisms that fit this situation:

1. Vince Lombardi, great coach of the Green Bay Packers.."Winning isn't everything. Winning is the only thing"

2. I paraphrase Tim Walz.."Work your butts off now..we can all sleep after we win!" or maybe he said when we die..but we get the point.

Go Harris/Walz!!

So proud of you and all we have accomplished together on this rather strange kind of extended Halloween journey. It's a small thing, but I made a badge of my I Voted sticker and have been wearing it and will continue to wear it from now through Tuesday. It already started one conversation! It's my badge of honor. I'm also posting my squirrel sculptures holding vote signs on Instagram. I tried to promote one of my squirrel posts, but it was rejected. How dangerous can figurines holding vote signs be? I will post one more this afternoon because I just learned that October is officially squirrel month, and I got a new hashtag for squirrel lovers!!! Small things CAN make a difference.
