2016 voting. I don't remember where I saw that. I am just now getting back on line after being without power for three days.

and he has been pouring his efforts into improving voter turnouts, etc. An amazing man (and his group) and kudos to them all!

Democrat Jon Ossoff, in Georgia, Patsy T. Mink of Hawaii, Stacy Abrams (Georgia), Julián Castro (Texas), Pete Buttigieg (mayor), ...

I could go on forever. It's so nice to have such interest by these young people...now of course, there are many in service of all ages, but I just happen to browse others when I was researching Beto, and was so pleasantly awarded with seeing how many young people there are, running for public office. That in itself is not an easy undertaking.

I never had pulled them (our up and coming future) all together into one group until now. How truly amazing that the doors to the democratic party are so wide open and are so open to all too, of all beliefs (except of course the negative scumbag republican beliefs we all know too well by now).

you see real people of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, etc. And then you look at the GOP and it's just mostly a bunch of rich white guys. Rich white guys who want to decide what a woman should do with her womb. But I digress. No, there is definitely a lot of excitement and engagement. We're not losing this time!
