Even though the Republican Party is generally held in low esteem in this country, they have had a startling amount of success. They bring their people out to vote on election day. The 2016 election will be no exception. In Donald Trump we are facing one of the most horrifying major party nominees in American history. He is a pathological liar, a demagogue, a virtual illiterate when it comes to American government, a con man, a thief, and a fraud. He epitomizes everything that is wrong with business in this country. He makes naked and open appeals to racial and ethnic hatred.
And at the moment, he is essentially tied with Hillary Clinton. And the Republicans will get their people out to the polls.
Why do they beat us so much? Because despite the people on our side who work their hearts out, the right-wingers tend to work harder. They do the drudge work, the hard, ordinary, boring work of registering their people to vote. Well, we MUST match them. I am pleased that there are serious efforts underway to register voters sympathetic to our side. But this work MUST be accelerated. To wit, I am linking to the site that provides voter registration info for EVERY state in the Union. It’s right here:

And since the Republicans now cheat to win regularly, here is a link to the ACLU’s anti-voter suppression page:

This is also a valuable source of information on how to defeat right-wing efforts to strangle our democratic-republic:

It’s going to take everything we can muster to crush Trump, give the Democrats control of the Senate, and cut into the despicable Republican ranks in the House. We need to elect governors, state legislators, and all manner of local officials as well, to beat back the right-wing policies that are killing our beloved nation. We must OUTWORK them. Then we must OUTVOTE them. Here’s where we can start.
LET’S GO!
