Welcome to WHAT IF Wednesday!
WHAT IF... This really is a Change Election?
Have you wondered who the people Bernie Sanders talks about as ‘coming out and participating’ in their government, via a Political Revolution really are?
I can tell you about some of them, because some of them are already out there campaigning for the US House, the US Senate and Statehouses across the country!
I know that there are Hillary Clinton supporters in the readership of Connect! Unite! Act!, and you know what? Great! You too can help a progressive Down-ticket candidate this season!
First off, this is the link to a Google Doc maintained by Expats for Bernie. Some of you may have seen that list before, but if you haven’t? Please go check it out. The Expats group has done a lot of work contacting nearly 200 candidates and loading that data into an easy to read format
I warn you, these candidate have already endorsed the campaign of Bernie Sanders, so as Clinton supporters, you may need to think before checking them out — but please, make it a short think. I guarantee you that no matter which of our two candidates the majority of the Party chooses as their nominee, these down-ticket candidates will be useful progressive Allies in the US Congress and in Statehouses from Alabama to Alaska.
There is also my homegrown, Daily Kos series which I’ve now turned into a Group:
Help Progressives Win
In which I’ve already covered candidates (challengers and incumbents alike) from all of these states:
SEE THE EDITION WITH THE LINKS TO THE CANDIDATES FROM ALL OF THESE STATES
#AL Alabama; #CA California; #FL Florida; #IA Iowa; #MD Maryland;
#MI Michigan: #NC North Carolina; #NJ New Jersey; #NH New Hampshire
#NY New York; #OK Oklahoma; #PA Pennsylvania; #TX Texas; #WA Washington
Please consider joining the Help Progressives Win group. There is a template so it’s mostly plug-and-play. You just have to seek out candidates to write about in YOUR state. Please send me a DKmail or leave a comment if you are interested. I’m proud and happy to announce that Vetwife has already joined and will be posting on Thursdays in the near future about candidates from the State of Florida!
Please keep me in mind in the future — as many of you know, I’m running for Congress, the 3rd Congressional District of WA State.

In March (or possibly April) I will be announcing a COOL AND EXCITING DRAWING for something I know each and every one of you will be fighting to win! You’ll have to come read Help Progressives Win regularly to find out what it is… (see how I set the hook there?)
It’s been great, and perhaps someday I’ll return, but I hope not, because I hope that in a year from now, I’m logging in to Daily Kos from THE OTHER WASHINGTON!
as always…
#StrongerTogether for a better future for OUR posterity
