If we are even going to have a running shot at taking our country back
it will take every last one of us. Please consider signing up to register voters.

A former Dem State Rep said that day last month that “220 thousand people
in Texas have been purged from voters roll in Texas and they don’t even know it” yet!

I took a couple of friends with me and it was fun!

..lots of college kids sign up to change address. We are all mail in and no party affiliation so no reason not to be registered to vote.

Laundromats. Seriously.

First of all you have a captive audience. They're not going anywhere while their clothes are in the washer/dryer. Second of all they tend to me more transient (apartments w/o laundry units) and low-income.

I've been saying for a while, you can't win if you don't even run. All those vast swaths of red in our country need blue activists and workers like you fighting back, even if, or especially if it seems hopeless. 2018 showed us that there are Dems out there in those red districts that have been maintaining a low profile. When they get organized and vote things can change.



Oh and go to https://www.vote.org/ to check registration. I basically do it every year a couple of months before election day, and I live in a fairly safe state when it comes to voting rights.

groups as well as several Deputy Voter Registrars and several Voter Registrars. Precinct Chair participation has exploded since 2016 and we have many first-time PCs, myself included! The entire county is gearing up for the fight of a lifetime, just like 2018. They say if Tarrant can go Blue, Texas goes Blue!

LET'S GO THIS!

And thank you (all) for your commitment to the cause! I appreciate you!

Betsy is probably hard to beat with all the special interest $$; but if there ever was a year to do it this is it. The Panther City bridge/waterway fiasco (and her son’s involvement gives lots of traction) has her on the ropes. People’s seems like a great candidate.
