My, we're up early this good Sunday morning!

All are great. Especially like the White House Virtual toward (second to last)

Jess Craven's avatar

Haha I finished it last night and scheduled it to send early this AM. But I was up fairly early anyway--my 14 year old had 5 friends sleep over for their birthday --they’re all in our living room and the animals wanted to investigate 😂

6 14 yeear olds sleeping over???!!! You must be a saint!!

Jess Craven's avatar

Crazy, more like it. But actually it was great.

Terry Nicholetti's avatar

I kind of knew it would be! Just the little that I've heard you share, you are a terrific mom. Blessings, every day!

Thank you, Jessica for all the good news. Love the cartoon!

The governor of the state I reside in. Podiumgate along

with her other shenanigans here may not see her 2nd term.👍

Jess Craven's avatar

Oh wow yeah she really seems to have stepped in it. No surprise. Horrible human being.

Victoria Brown's avatar

Yes, she really is and her poll

numbers here in AR show it.👍

Great way to start my Sunday !💙

The cartoon….😂 . And of course she has a child “working” her costume!

“Nearly one-third of Native Americans nationwide are not registered to vote.”😔

One of my fave orgs to support is Northeast Arizona Native Democrats. They have been very successful at registering voters ! Upcoming vol opportunities on Mobilize for phonebanking/postcarding. 📞✍️

Yes! They’re on my postcarding document! Love them!

Cathleen D's avatar

Can you provide the link to your postcarding document, please. Lots of postcarders in my area, and they are always looking for campaigns to work on. Thanks.

Jess Craven's avatar

Yup here you go. I've taken a bunch of VA and OH-related campaigns off as they've just ended but I'll be adding more as we get into 2024 and postcarding ramps back up again. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ADX8_k9WoPJDFwKiMRLYfTEThGP23yGyqytylpSxn8M/edit

Thanks so much, Jessica.

And I thought you might add the following, or something along these lines, to the list as a very inexpensive way to make dozens of postcards, for those with less resources.

Purchase a ream of card stock and have your local print or office supply shop cut them into 1/4's. Most reams have either 250 or 500 sheets, which would give you 1,000-2,000 blank postcards to write on, for less than $50.

Thank you for these. It’s been a brutal week and I took a couple of mental health days away from the news. I’ve been catching up this morning and will end my catch up with this helpful and hopeful list 😊❤️🙏

Jess Craven's avatar

Yay! Good for you for taking a mental health break we all need them.

Diana I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.

Jess, are you aware that Semaphore has partnered with a Chinese group? Should we be concerned?
