Oh my, I just read about the new mergers and acquisitions rules and made on comment on the government website about reforms. I feel like I did my homework today.

Please help remove "finish the job" from our wishes for President Biden's reelection in 2024. The job of the presidency is hopefully never finished in a democracy.

Swing Blue Alliance (https://swingbluealliance.org) and Ohio Democratic County Chairs Association are working on an ad to place in several local papers. It is fantastic.

I phonebanked for Vote No Ohio DP last Thursday. It was a good experience. They train you on first half and it is easy to learn. HIGHLY recommend for first timers. U need a laptop and a phone that you use to call into a robo-dialer, so your ID is anonymous. Even just sign in to train and learn process til you are comfortable.

Here is link! Hope to see you there Tues/ Thurs 5:30-7:30 until election. Sign up!
