ETA: To win the senate, can DU have a Win the Senate w Georgia Pinned Thread?

I've suggested to admins creation of a Georgia Senate Support group or forum: Winning the senate back seems like job #1 now that Trump is defeated. I would love for DU to dedicate a Main Forum for this to maximize visibility for the two Georgia run-offs.
In the meantime, here are some resources:

1. Used to have to have so many star members approve

So, if it helps, I approve.
Good job!

2. K&R, at minimum, this post needs to be pinned for the next 2 months.

But a dedicated thread would be even better!

3. Pinned Post-- great idea! n/t

4. Agree!

8. Kicking again.

I'd prefer to see EarlG create a brand new thread and pin it but your idea for a pinned thread is so sensible, props to you!

5. Can we get a DU donations counter and link going on the home page

like Omaha Steve did with the Biden/Harris campaign? That was very effective and we could do the same with the Georgia senate races.

9. Yes

At least for TODAY, the link (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dufor2020runoff) and the counter are on the front page!

11. THANKS- just donated

[Danascot]

12. Thanks for doing this!

I hesitated to 'volunteer' you for another one of these because I'm sure the one you did for Biden was a fair amount of work. But I'm happy you're willing to take the Georgia one on and I'm happy it's up and running!

I just donated $100. We need the Senate!

Thanks again!

[Omaha Steve]

13. I'm happy to be able to do it

Thanks for the kind words and donating!
