Where are you from, and what are you doing to support Hillary?

Where are you from, and what are you doing to support Hillary?

I'm from Oregon, originally from Pennsylvania. Last week I Phone banked in Oregon for four hours. I have signed up at the HRC website to do more phone banking and what I would really like to do is to call into a critical swing state.

If anybody has done this, I would like to hear from you and also hear about your experience and how you got started.

I certainly post a lot of relevant articles on Facebook and Twitter and have sent a handful of Twitter messages to the media.

I'm sure I could be doing more… So what are you doing?

I am doing some canvassing, have a sign in my yard (the 4th one they keep getting stolen), a bumper sticker on my car and have written some letters to the editor (that don't get printed most of the time).

I am working hard to get some state legislators elected who are sane in this insane state. We have to take the states back for Hillary.

Contributed the max, have supported the Democrats Abroad (Germany), and contribute articles and commentary to some US media I am in contact with, although that part is preaching to the choir.

No chance of dislodging either of the Republican Texas Senators or our odious governor and AG this cycle, but there are several candidates for the House I have contributed to.

I sometimes make some comments on FB, although they are usually a waste of time. When not preaching to the choir, it's usually my lonely voice in the face of a gale wind of "I-Hate-Hillary" die-hards who want to hear nothing positive said about her, or else against the "I-Hate-Everybody" crowd (also known as Republicans).
