Hi, all, and happy Wednesday. I have to confess, I’m exhausted. And more than a bit frustrated. Turnout in our CA primaries was abysmal—of course votes remain to be counted, but yesterday we were at only 19% statewide. And Los Angeles was worse. Amongst young people turnout statewide was at 7%.
Your daily emails help me too and I look forward to them. Everyday that I don't do my "homework" I don't get down on myself. I just say that it takes awhile to form a habit. So thank you thank you. And I've been passing on info, tips etc to friends and family.
I am so sorry that you are feeling exhausted - I hope you get your mojo back, as you usualy do! Just from my point of view, you are what I am clinging to to stay hopeful. I tend to email my two Senators - Thom Tillis and Richard Burr - and my Congresscritter - Madison Cawthorne - instead of calling. Once I get the day's emails out and the text to Resistbot, I feel immeasurably better. I was bombarded for 4 years with Trump, then cancer for one year, then two years of COVID. I can hardly bring myself to ingest the news on TV and various newspapers - just don't have the stomach for it. But your daily emails keep me encouraged and informed. Please don't give up. Your daily actions matter to me. Thanks!
As an introvert, I have always found it difficult to be politically active. Your videos and emails are just what I need to get me in the game!

I am also very disappointed by the turnout. What excuse could people possibly use not to vote??
