I hope DJT announces soon. That'll scare the rest of us enough, I hope, to strengthen support for Warnock. Enough, I hope, to sink the lying, womanizing, sanctimonious, former football player.
There are so many different organizations doing similar work (for example, sending letters/postcards). How do you determine who has the greatest need or where volunteering would be most impactful?
This is a great question. I would say that for this election we will want to follow the in-state grassroots groups' lead, as they know their own state the best. So we will want to support and listen to Fair Fight (https://fairfight.com/), and I will be sending out another email shortly with another grassroots org to support. Also the Center For Common ground is expert in dealing with Southern voter suppression states and reaching out to Black voters, as that is literally all they focus on. So I will be doing their postcarding. Oh, and SURJ has done a ton of work in Georgia and will do well getting out the white vote for Warnock. So they're good, too. But all of it likely helps.
Read Status Kuo on substack. (https://statuskuo.substack.com/) Today's column. He has a thoughtful approach to making an informed opinion on who will win in the last 2 of 3 states. And his answer is we will win Arizona and Nevada.
Doing 50 postcards for Warnock via Abby the Democrat (see newsletter above), and have emailed Activate America (❤️ that name! Says it all!) and they acknowledged it and are coming up with the details. Contributed money to Warnock (requested by Simon Rosenberg on Twitter). AND Vote Forward has a brand new GA campaign, letters mail Nov 29.
VOTE FORWARD GA CAMPAIGN:
Thanks to the hard work of more than 40,000 Big Senders, nearly 5 million voters received letters encouraging them to participate in our democracy, and this week, we saw strong voter turnout for the midterm elections!
Now, the Georgia Senate race is headed to a runoff, and voters will decide who to send to the U.S. Senate on December 6. We'll be writing to Democratic-leaning registered voters who we think may be unlikely to vote. Will you join us to write letters to Georgia voters encouraging them to vote in this critical runoff election?
Because the runoff is only a few weeks away, please put your letters to Georgia voters in the mail as soon as they’re ready, but no later than Tuesday, November 29.
If a book of stamps or a letter kit would make it possible for you to participate in this letter writing campaign, please request one now! Thanks to extraordinarily generous contributions from donors across the country, we are able to offer support to a large number of volunteers. If you have friends or family who you think would write letters if the supplies were made available to them for free, send them an email now to encourage them to participate and request a letter kit or stamps. The deadline for these requests is Sunday, November 13, and we’ll send them your way next week.
Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting our democracy.
Jessica, as we say at the Indivisible IL phone bank, YOU ROCK.!
As do you! Thank you!

I agree. It can only help us. If we lose the House he'll want the house Speaker role, too. Would get very narly very fast.

Isn't that the article I put in my newsletter? Or is it a new one?
Oops, sorry. The same.
Kevin McCarthy being beholden to Gym Jordan for the next two years upsets the stomach and the heart
It'll be terrible for the GOP. Good.
