Hi, all, and happy Tuesday. Still in Nova Scotia. Lucky me! Having said that, I’m not unplugged, so I’m aware there’s a lot going on. The House has gone on recess, so today’s newsletter focusses mostly on the Senate, where lots of action could (or could not) happen in the next week. We’ve got the Manchin-Schumer bill (fingers crossed!), marriage equality, the burn pit bill…so much that’s critically important. So I’ve loaded a lot into today’s Senate call script. Try to get it all in, please—if you feel unable to say it, you can copy it and send it through the “contact us” field on your Senator’s official website. It will count just like a call!
I've been compiling the research on effectiveness of postcards and more. Will take me a few days to get it together, but I'm upset about the NY Times piece. And yesterday there was also the point about how the Dems do nothing but send doomsday fundraising emails. Ugh! We need to educate people about (1) the effectiveness of GOTV and (2) the amount of amazing energy, number of people and organizations are doing this work. I'm working on an education piece about all of this as well!
I'm glad you addressed the NYY article. It left me feeling kinda mopey especially since the link to the study was paywalled. Quite frankly, I sometimes question the wording on the scripts in the letter and postcard writing campaigns. Nonetheless, I'll keep chopping wood and carrying water 😎
