It never would have occurred to me to call the library From Bill he/him Honigman to Everyone 04:43 PM Absolutely, Kemp and Raffensperger facilitated it being close enough to allow the big lie. From Marcielle Brandler to Everyone 04:43 PM I sent Warnock, Mandela Barnes and two other people a ittle money each. From Mike Fox to Everyone 04:43 PM 46 likes towards goal of 100 'likes'.

We also leave messages with voting information From Me to Everyone 04:52 PM Media presentations are important. Taking the top 3 issues for GOP and Dems gives a bad picture. The top 6 gives a very different picture because the top 3 GOP items then become 4,5 and 6 for the Dems … not to mention that Dems have plans while GOP only has words (and a huge amount of money). PeterBnyc@gmail.com … truevaluemetrics.org From Andrea Miller to Everyone 04:52 PM That isn't enough - it is a huge help but we need to level the playing field on voting rules for all 50 states.

Especially if we see someone with republicans bumper stickers From Bill he/him Honigman to Everyone 05:08 PM 100% agree, climate, pandemics, racism, poverty, and political corruption are all global existential threats.

From Danett Abbott-Wicker to Everyone 05:11 PM Michael Moore predicted Trump would win and he was right. He is saying now we will have a Blue Tsunami in November. I'm going with that! From Mike Fox to Everyone 05:11 PM The only poll that counts is the one that closes on the 2nd Tues. in November. From Steven Leff to Everyone 05:12 PM I would like to see the Democratic party do a more effective job rebutting the Republican talking points on inflation and going on the offensive. Here is an example: In 2020 Trump had asked the Saudi Arabians cut the supply of oil and told them all troops would be pulled out of Saudi Arabia if they didn't comply. Prior to this Republican Senators Kevin Cramer and Dan Sullivan had introduced legislation to remove all U.S. troops from Saudi Arabia. This led to a cut on the supply of oil. The results of cutting supply led to higher prices. Why is the Democratic party not going on offense here? Every candidate needs to be talking about this every single day.
