A Bluenami is coming.....

Dems are now up +18 in generic ballot in CNN's latest poll. The largest margin *EVER* recorded in more than 2 decades.

The Bluenami will have to overcome massive voter suppression and gerrymandering..... but it is coming.

And as important as '18 is... '20 will be even moreso on the state level, because it will determine which party gets to redraw the congressional districts in each state. And that's how we get rid of gerrymandering.

Begin donating now. The next big race is the special election in PA-18 to determine who will take over Tim Murphy seat (R-creep).

Conor Lamb is the Dem candidate. The election is on March 13. Donate!

Depending on the state. Not every state senate seat will be up in 2020. Some up in 2018 will determine district lines, along with governors.

and focus all our efforts to get people to vote.

Any millennials in the house? Let's just say your future just got a little bit harder unless you're raking in the cash.

Start saving as much $ as possible to help in state and out of state candidates.

What are we up against: gerrymandering, massive sophisticated voter suppression, and massive sophisticated fake news and social media manipulation.

Get active and stay active.
