Your nation is being led by traitors and cowards who refuse to call these traitors on their treason. WE CANNOT JUST ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. We need EVERYONE’S HELP, NOW! I implore you, I’m BEGGING you, take action! Recommend this diary. Share it. I don’t care about getting ANY credit for this personally. But I DO care that people have this information. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
People who add links in the comments will see those links added to the diary, which will then be reposted every single day.
I do NOT want it to be a place for people to continue intraparty arguments from 2016.
I hope NOT to see personal agendas or the posting of irrelevant comments.
We saw it in Alabama in the 2017 Senate contest. We saw it in Virginia, where the Democrats won a sweeping victory. We’re seeing in the flood of state legislative victories we’ve been winning. We saw it in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. DEMOCRATS WIN WHEN WE GET OUT THE VOTE. And we do that by organization, fundraising, and personal contact with voters.
I think the largest progressive site on the Web needs something like this. We need a place where people can find information IMMEDIATELY that will help them get involved. The existence of this post will allow people to share and get in contact with others who are looking to get involved.
HOW TO MAXIMIZE THIS RESOURCE GUIDE:
With the help of my amazing fellow Kossacks, I am gathering links to the websites of EVERY Democratic candidate for the Senate, the House of Representatives, Governor, other state executive offices, and state legislature. Find your favorite candidate, and then link up with groups like SwingLeft, Act Locally, and others that I have here. Use the information about registration and residency requirements to help register DEMOCRATIC voters in that person’s state or district. If the candidate website does not contain a donations link, use the ones I have here. Use the tools I have listed here for phone banking, door-to-door campaigning, texting, postcard writing, and giving rides to the polls. Further, there are media contact numbers, links to unions, and links for groups aimed at getting out our voters. USE THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION HERE TO HELP OUT THE CANDIDATES OF YOUR CHOICE. Let’s see what we can do together!
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME VIRALIZE THIS!! FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUR EMAIL LIST, ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.
First of all, OUR 2018 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, AND THEIR WEBSITES . THERE WILL BE REGULAR UPDATES!
