69. We don't have time for defeatist thinking.

Will it be easy to take back Congress? Of course not! But that doesn't mean we can't do it.

Even facing numerous obstacles, Obama won twice. I have no doubt they tried to cheat then too. One way we can overcome their attempts to steal our elections is through significant, strong victories.

Our democracy has definitely taken a hit, but we can't stop fighting or lose hope. The ballot box is one of the most important tools we have. Yes, we should March on Washington, but if we still have a Congress that supports keeping Trump in power then we haven't changed anything.

My mother attended segregated schools in rural Arkansas. I'm sure she never thought she'd attend college, never mind attend an institution of higher learning alongside students of other ethnic backgrounds. But she did, because there were people who never gave up and they made their vision of integration an eventual reality.

I know it's hard... The Party of Russia wants us to feel helpless, defeated, and like nothing can change. They are waging not only a cyber-war with our nation, but a psychological one as well. We have to resist the urge to let go of our most precious values, rights, and institutions. One thing I am doing is returning to serve as a poll-watcher. There are small and large things we can do to make a difference.
