GA going to have to do some heavy lifting to save us from Mitch and Lindsey.

It is going to take at least two visits by the President elect and VP elect to bring it on home for the American people. They won't be able to do to with Mitch and Lindsey running the show in the Senate. Stacey will need all the help she can get to fight off the number advantage the GOP has over the Dems.

Here are a few of the main things Georgians need to be reminded of

1. There will be little that Biden will be able to do for the ordinary, non 1% working men and women with Mitch and the GOP standing in the way as they have done for the past 8 years.

2. Mitch, Lindsey and the rest of the GOP in the Senate have already shown us that they men and women of low character, the boldly lied about the reasons for denying Garland a vote and they lied to the American people when they promised that they would allow the next President to select the next SCOTUS pick if the vacancy occurred during the election year. They are liars and in it only for themselves and their rich buddies. House Dems have been trying to get that Cares package thru the Senate for the past 6 months and Mitch is sitting on it and bragging about it.

3, Everyone can plainly see that Joe and Kamala are not "socialists" which is another lie perpetrated by the GOP to scare people into voting against them. It didn't work.

4. What good does it do if GA has two Senators in this Senate who will not be fighting for hard-working men and women in GA. The GOP candidates will only be in it to fatten their own pockets and those of their buddies. You can see that from what they have done or not done for Georgians so far.

5. Putting two Georgian Dems in the Senate guarantees that Biden will be able to get his JOBS and Healthcare programs passed. The GOP has already shown that they don't really give a damn.

We need to help Stacey all that we can by getting our friends and relatives to understand what is at stake and get them to be sure to get out there and vote in January. And they need to do everything in their power to help ensure fair and safe voting venues.

My relatives there have already begun holding meetings in their homes to organize for January. They fee they have a good chance to give Biden the Senate he needs. A few of their friends and neighbors who had voted for Purdue have already said they were through with him.

LET'S GO GA. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Biden can't solve all the problems we're facing, and he won't make everyone happy all the time.

If we eat him alive over the next 18 months, we're going to see another movement spring up that will make the alt-right seem normal and the Tea Party sane.

Keep Biden's feet to the fire, but don't crucify him for not walking on water.

however, unlike the optimism I had on election night and beyond that we would ultimately prevail, this proposition doesn't has optimism without the grave concern associated with the past few days. Yes, Georgia CAN and WILL come through with the right message competently communicated to its residents.

Our candidates are really good and Stacey Abrams is a force to be reckoned with. If Dems get their registrations up and whip the vote the way it was whipped for the GE, we could give Joe Biden the tools he'll need to push through reforms the country so desperately wants.

I'm planning to send some cash their way and will be looking for the Vote Forward people to send out alerts. I got in on the tail end of the letter writing campaign for this election but would be quite willing to participate again. And maybe manage a few more letters.

Go Georgia!

Any money that the majority that Warnock and Ossoff raise should be going to the GOTV campaign.
You need to turn of Atlanta and it suburbs. Obama and Abrams are your most important weapons.

Also they could use a two prong approach and basically do a joint campaign. Have Warnock fight in the major urban and some suburban areas of the state. Have Ossoff focus on the rural/suburban areas of the state.

Focus primarily on that Loeffler and Perdue are crooks for insider trading. Keep repeating it over and over and over again. This work and stick in voter minds.

it’s depressing that with millions of people that have spoken and all the hard work that’s been done, further progress could be hampered by a single withered shell of a human called Mitch.

especially those of color.

It's time to really refill Act Blue's coffers and spend twice the amount the Repugs do.
