Hello DailyKos family and Happy Friday! Thanks for clicking.
Better Georgia has launched a fun, get out the vote campaign for the voters of GA-06, reminding them to VOTE YOUR OSSOFF in the special election on April 18th. Our mission is to raise the visibility of the race, inspire voter turnout, and support Jon Ossoff, the leading Democrat.
We’re sending yard signs and postcards directly to registered voters in the District by collecting donations outside of it. For 6 bucks, 6 voters get a postcard. For $20, they get a yard sign. Want one for yourself too? There’s an option for that.
We launched the campaign on Tuesday and, in just 48 hours, we’ve already surpassed our goal. The response has been, shall we say, pretty OSSome! The numbers so far:
107% of goal met
129 “Team 48 Hour” backers
$6393 for voter outreach
3125 postcards generated
181 yard signs fired off
And this is only the beginning. We’ve raised our goal to $12,000 and we need your help to go further.
Our [really fun, engaging, amazing, two minute] pitch to you:
Help Us Flip District 6!
As a fellow diarist noted, if 200,000 Democrats show up to vote, we win. Regardless of the numbers, one thing is undeniable: flipping this district would be a tremendous victory for Democrats everywhere. We need to stop at nothing to ensure every voter turns out.
VOTE YOUR OSSOFF is one way of reminding people to do just that.
The Challenges We Face
Special elections have historically low turnout. By engaging voters directly, however, we increase chances of their participation. We can’t take renewed awareness and activism for granted. Republicans are just as energized for their candidates. We have to fight for this seat.
This is a traditionally conservative district but Trump only won by 1% in the general election. Voters there are educated and engaged. There is room to move the dial.
- 18 Candidates in the Race
There are 11 republicans, 5 democrats, and a few others in the race. It’s a crowded field but their is a clear leader in Jon Ossoff. The more people remember “Ossoff” in the ballot box, the better. And how can you not with a message like “Vote Your Ossoff!”

Why Better Georgia?
Better Georgia is working to not only turn GA-06 blue but also the entire state. All donations go directly to getting out voters in GA-06. After Jon Ossoff makes history and flips the District (with your help), all remaining funds go to work on other progressive issues, candidates, and causes within Georgia.
Your money will keep on working, as turning Georgia blue is closer than you think.
Working Our OSSOFF for District 6
Postcards are sent directly to voters and we’re delivering yard signs to those already organized and active within the District. We’re supporting our progressive troops already on the ground! And the response has been amazing. We’re getting hourly requests for yard signs. Please help us!
With as little as $6 voters get a [super cool] postcard to hang on their fridge.
For $20, they get a [super cool] yard sign for their home or business.
The campaign materials are pictured below. We’ve also included some freebies if you’d like to post this messaging up on Facebook or Instagram.
