Now is the time to begin a massive effort at Voter Registration and Education. Let’s create a Voter Tsunami to overwhelm Republican voter suppression.
We lost the White House for many reasons, some of which were beyond our control — Russian hacking, lazy and corrupt journalism, a partisan FBI.
But we would have won anyway with the addition of just a small fraction of unregistered or unmotivated voters in a few states.
And we know the remedy — massive voter registration — led by Daily Kos, the Women’s marchers and the thousands of activist groups forming all over the country.
Voter Registration Now! Needs to Become Viral. If only a fraction of the unregistered voters registered and voted last year — even of just the 18-25 year old unregistered voters — Hillary likely would have won.
People are as motivated now as they might ever be.
Four million people marched on January 21, 2017. Let’s take the easy next step:
I’m asking you today — send a message on any or all of your social media to 10 or more friends, connections, buddies, pals, followers, fellow travelers, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat., Tumblr. Send something like this:
Hi. Are you registered to vote? Is your family? Are your friends? colleagues? Cohorts. Please inquire. It has an impact.
Ask them to send it to 10 other people.
Simple actions like this can result in a “Viral Voting Tsunami” in 2017. 2018, 2019, 2020 and beyond.
DAILY KOS HAS THE POWER
Our own Chris Reeves is currently running for "DNC Vice-Chair for Civic Engagement and Voter Protection". Regardless of the outcome, he will no doubt be deeply involved, helping the party address this issue; I'm sure he will appreciate our help.
Daily Kos and 90 for 90 can turn this country around
