I just listened to the podcast you did with Robert Hubbell and I’m so happy to learn of your work. I was particularly happy to hear you say that you would “go anywhere, do anything”to to talk about Chop Wood Carry Water. As the speaker series Director for Seniors Taking Action, a group of older Americans that seeks to elect Democrats and preserve our democracy through postcard writing, phone banking and hosting candidates and organizations dedicated to our mission, we would love to have you speak at one of our sessions on Wednesdays at 11 AM Eastern time. Recent speakers included Field Team Six and Run for Something as well as many others. If you’re interested I’m happy to send further information.

I’m very happy to have learned about you and to be reading your newsletter now. I love the Hail Mary Pass you suggest today, may I please add a thought?

If the Sen believes folks in his state would “use their child care $$ to buy drugs” then presumably he knows of many folks with addiction problems, yes? If so, wouldn’t this be the perfect time for him to ask Pres Biden for *extra* $$ for his state to fight addiction?

Let’s hold his feet to the fire and get something good out of his need for 15 min’s of fame.
